i was 16yo neet in the remote smokey mountains and so broke i only had enough gas in my car to make the 30 miles to walmart not enough to get back so i was trapped at home until the 3rd when my money came in but it was Feb 28th and the only thing in my fridge was a pack of turkey dogs that i bought on sale for $0.88 cents and half a block of save-a-lot mild cheddar both of which were from the previous month and avoided because they suck, the cheese was completely dried out and the dogs were expired.


3 fucking nights that's all i ate while sitting in front of a fire pit burning wet fallen branches to heat a bunch of large stones and bring them inside to make sure the house stayed above freezing so the plumbing didn't freeze a burst.
Back and forth every few hours with a new batch of hot stones and half a turkey dog grilled over nasty smoldering punk wood
>>
Sleep for dinner because i was too depressed to cook or even get out of bed to eat a handful of peanuts

Meal prepped chicken, broccoli, and lentils I didn't bother to fully defrost because sad.

Would've been like >>21090810 but I already had something "ready."

Alternatively, there was a time I got sent out of town alone for training and refused to leave the hotel room. On the first night I tried the room service but it sucked and they forgot utensils so I had to eat it with my pocket knife and hands. After that, I only had instant coffee and the basic sandwiches and chips the instructor made for lunches, which I'd sometimes smuggle out in my jacket for dinners as well.

I got a huge bag of cheese balls from the dollar store. I thought what's the most high calorie thing I can eat and pay the least amount of money. I was technically right I guess. In hindsight I would have bought wheat bread and wieners instead.

beyond being a consistent eater of some form of nuggets and noodles i will regularly finish my shift as a greasy mentally ill line cook, go to the fucking SERVO and buy a can of pringles and a block of chocolate and eat that for dinner. i recently stopped that though because i did it too much and it became sickening. i feel like i'm close to a taxi driver moment where i'll be eating whiskey, milk and bits of bread like cereal. i think my crazy man meal will involve porridge. i don't know yet.

I spent the last of my money on drugs and my cupboards were completely empty n started getting pangs. I didn't have it in me to ask my roommate for money again nd couldn't bring myself to ask for some of his food so went for a walk to feel better and saw bread on the side of the road some gulls had swiped from a garbage bag to peck and left, so I took it n found a 2/3rd can of pringles on the road as well so took them too. (it was weekend so some kid likely left them there or smth).
went home, emptied pringles onto a tray to cook the staleness out and toasted the bread almost burnt to get rid of any bacteria or whatever. There I was, hunched over in front of the glow of my roomies $2000 tv eating a bunch of crap I found on the side of the road.
That was one of my lowest points which helped me get off the drugs I now have cupboards full of food and my own place now, not that anyone asked.

The morning after the night my ex-wife and I decided to split up, we spent the whole day packing up boxes. Our fridge was empty, and there wasn't much use in going to get groceries since we were both moving, so I door dashed Panera bread. We got bread bowls. One of the cups of soup had opened in the bag, and the whole thing was drenched. The bread was stale. I was one bite into my meal when my ex started crying. I can't eat at Panera to this day because even just seeing the sign bums me out.
>>

You could depict working at a soup kitchen, rescuing children from a burning building, and talking suicidal people off a ledge as a dimly lit wojak scene and it would all look depressing and repulsive. Don't worry about it.

Try adding some seeds/nuts, boiled eggs, or meat. Also invest in a decent dressing/vinaigrette because whatever you put on looks bland and tasteless. Salad is one of my favorite things to eat, but it's because I put my whole pussy into it whenever I make one. Try green goddess with blue cheese or something.

When we first started dating, she told me that she was bi, which I believed. We dated for several years, then got married, and we were genuinely happy. But along the way, she started talking about how she thought she might be gay, and how she was disappointed that she never got to date a woman. She kept returning to this visual of living in an exposed red brick apartment in chicago with a woman. I tried working with her in therapy or even opening the relationship so she could date women, but she was never satisfied. Eventually she told me that she was worried that one day she was gonna wake up and realize she wasn't attracted to me anymore, which caused a huge argument and then the divorce.

TLDR; don't date women with pixie cuts. It's a trap.

Tale as old as time. Dont worry, she'll date a woman, hate it, and be miserable for years. Then she'll date a hulking black guy, pop out a mulatto gremlin, break up with him, and live a horrible empty life dedicated to a child she hates.

Hey guys. This is a classic. For this recipe you will need
-generic brand paper plate
-a box of Kellogg's Club Crackers (or any cracker of your choice)
-Kraft Deli Deluxe White American sliced cheese (or any presliced cheese)
-Chipotle Tobasco Sauce (or any hotsauce you might have laying around)

First, arrange the crackers neatly on the plate. This is a pretty small plate but I will still manage to fit a decent serving size. It comes with experience.

Next take a slice of your processed cheese. Use your fingers to julienne it so they will fit on the crackers neatly.
It's okay if they are not uniform, variety is the spice of life!!

>>21092049
why do you need a paper plate specifically?

Finally add about 0.4mL of your hot sauce to each cracker. This is where you get to add your own personal touch. Maybe a design of your choice!! Practice your plating for when you hit the big leagues :)

And then simply. Enjoy! Pairs nicely with a glass of room temperature water from the faucet.
>>
>>21092080
Sorry guys. I am so sorry there was a mistake.
The correct measurement is 0.2 mL of hot sauce. 0.4 would be way too much!!

The paper plate fits the dish thematically and enhances the atmosphere of the dining environment

That's not even that bad. But yeah when i was an NCO i'd invite all the barrack boys to my place so me and my wife could cook for them during the holidays if they couldn't go home so they wouldn't be alone, depressed and suicidal in the barracks. Better than being on suicide watch.
