• You can survive on macaroni

    • Living in Florida almost half a dozen presidents back, I was so broke I was picking up cigarette butts from the sidewalk. Had a stack of pennies left over from tips I'd made waiting tables (before getting fired), and that was it. Three meals a day, it was macaroni with 25cent-a-pound margarine and pepper. Lots and lots of black pepper.
      Do I still eat that? Well, now it's olive oil and garlic instead of oleo with no food coloring, but, yes. Now and again.

    I'm sort of retired(blackballed), but my wife still works. 4 nights a week I make dinner, and one night there's leftovers. One night each week it's Kraft Mac n Cheese dressed up with some combo of { sautéed mushrooms or Spam or sautéed shrimp or onions or sautéed chix breast or water chestnuts or bean sprouts or any leftover meat thinly sliced} any or all
