    funny, back in the moonlight days (RIP), we would take peoples' bowls from the dish tubs in the lodge and get free refills. and probly free viruses.

    man, ketchup soup is old school. its all about the pizza sauce and heavy cream- aka tomato soup. also, succotash (kidney beans and creamed corn) is less than a two dollar meal, and unless youre a whale, two 15 oz cans is definitely enough. even if the only thing you ate from 9 to 5 was blunt roaches and half-eaten hot dogs the family before you left in the lodge.

    Tacos. I can eat em every day. If you cook up a good batch of meat you have food for a few days.

    Avocado's, not exactly cheap but a couple of those and some corn chips with hot sauce works pretty good.

    I have mexican food almost daily in some form or another, it's my favorite.

    Tuna sandwiches, nutella, pastaroni, ramen/cuppa noodles. Lived in a van and a truck for a few winters. All I needed was some hot water and I could have a gourmet meal. Then I started working in restaurants and getting free meals. That's the ticket.

    I ate ramen noodles and penut butter sandwiches exclusively for almost two years, I can barely get that stuff in my mouth any longer! But it did get us by for a while.

    Ramen noodles with a bit of peanut butter, cock sauce, and assorted veggies is a good poor mans pad thai.

    We used to pick up our clients from a cafe and our boss told us that the cafe requested to please ask the guides to stop taking the patrons half-eaten leftover food on our way out the door - I wasn't going to let that toast and bacon just sit there.

    Doesn't that make the dog angry?

    We were poor teenagers going to races in the late sixties-early seventies. One friend who worked at the cheese/sausage shop would take the garbage (boxes) out at the end of the day. One of us would be there to pickup the box of sausages and cheeses. All we had to do was bring the bread and crackers. Good road food....high fat and protein.

    Don't forget roadkill. Friend actually picked up a squirrel he ran over and cooked it that night over the fire. Many a roadkill deer were eaten during my grad school days as well.

    Ha, all jokes aside, I do have a good woman who enjoys cooking, but we split things down the middle and manage to live in our little spot in Tahoe together with another friend. 3 of us in a small two bedroom is reasonable for everyone. We are both fresh out of college and I guess you could say we are ski bums... but not much skiing to be had in Tahoe yet. But yeah we eat and drink good, cus why the fuck not.

    Total 143,099 calories or 392 calories per day. You are going to die. Scurvy or some other vitamin deficiency might get you before the hunger does.

    Although I am 99% sure there are photos of Slaags apartment on here with empty mayonnaise jars sitting out so maybe that supplement is enough to keep him alive.
