Mondays will sneak up on you sometimes. You’re just riding along, enjoying your Sunday afternoon, and the next thing you know you’re swept up in Monday madness, catching up on things left over from Friday and trying to tackle Tuesday’s problems early.
Yeah … I had a stealthy Monday today.
So when I got home from work, I was in No Mood to whip up a big dinner. Add to that the fact that we’re at the end of our grocery week (I usually go to the store on Tuesday), and the answer was clear.
Ramen with Rotel it is! We added a salad to put some extra greenery into our diet and came away from the table feeling full and happy.
Tomorrow I’ll get back to “normal” meals. But what a great thing, to have a go-to meal or two that will do in a pinch!
A postscript: I did have time, however, to whip up an apple pie, teeming with handpicked apples. Not a bad night in the kitchen!
The stats:
Ramen: $1.75/six ($0.15/person)
Rotel: $1.00 ($0.50/person)
Boca chik’n patties: $3.99 ($1.00/person)
Salad: FREE! (Buy one, get one free!)
GRAND TOTAL: $6.74 … or $1.65 per person.
