Eating the proper amount is hard. Eating when you have low time, money, mental energy, or education on cooking is even harder.

This book assumes nothing. Do you know how to turn on your stove? You are properly prepared to use this cookbook.

Just want to share it with more folks!

    I don’t get this one, surely you can just buy pasta sauce instead and it’s exactly the same steps but better 🤔

      This is for people who might not have pasta sauce in their pantry, but most people will have ketchup in the fridge.

          i once had a long article in a pre-internet punk 'zine about the different meals you can make with free food like condiments… salt pepper water ketchup mustard relish honey etc. it also taught how to use toothpaste as hair gel.

          it was eye opening.

              i don’t have it. it was at Moby Disc record store in the 1990s, maybe someone collects 'zines.

                    Thank you so much! I’ll see what I can do

                    Edit: 20 minutes and I don’t think I’m any closer to finding it. I told my partner what I was doing and they said 'oh that’s gonna be hard!" I’m stubborn, so I may keep trying

        100%, some of these recipes are “scavenge for food with things in the back of your fridge/pantry”

      Ahh this is not a “go buy” something recipe.

      This is a “If you are thinking of not eating because you feel like you have nothing to eat, eat this instead”

      I don’t like ketchup like that. Fries, sure. Burger? A little. This? This is fucking gross. I also knew someone that put it on their pizza. On the inverse, I can eat yellow mustard straight

      Pasta and ketchup is a common meal in Paris according to the one French Netflix show I watched where they ate it and never commented about how absurd it is.

      I actually prefer to eat spaghetti this way instead of the sauce
