Suppertime and don't have a clue what to cook

the hubs here makes some oddities, most oft they don't look good nor taste good, lol. i'm purty frugal with food 'n purty creative with lefto'ers, makin' 'em stretch out with diff'rent identities. but fer supper tonight here? 'twill be spam 'n taters with some broccoli 'n carrots.

if really low on supplies I get a take away and shop the next day

pork chops, shrimp, mushrooms, and zucchini.

I don't know how to cook. I bought a macaroni soup and chow mien downstairs. I just finished eating them.

As I ponder upon the whole content of your discussion, I came to realize that it's not being low on food but low on budget. If the budget should have been good, you will not be low on food. There were times in my life that I a low in budget and of course, it goes on to say that the food is also limited. Bread would suffice the need and coffee at least. In some occasions, rice with egg would be a choice. Let's work on building our budget so we don't need to scramble for what will be on the banquet table for us and our family. Happy dinner time..

Why don't you just prepare delicious and healthy vegetable salad. I myself made a big salad of 3 cucumbers, 3 tomatoes and one red pepper with olive oil and vinegar this evening and everyone was happy.
