It's cheeper to eat junk food. And it takes someone to teach you how to cook, or the abilty to read a recipe.

Those who are saying this would be expensive to make have me wondering...They are probably the type that think Ramen noodles are expensive..You can buy stew meat, or other cuts of meat for that matter and the few veggies that go into this fairly cheaply...I agree that making hot dogs or hamburgers would probably be more expensive than this..I wonder why they cant afford cheap stew beef but can afford the internet bill.

Not expensive! Stew meat was only $5 or something. Organic broth was $3 for the big size. And that was from the health food store. Veggies are cheap, so are potatoes. $13 for a family of 4. Not bad. This is a simple farm dinner.

I signed on blackwhitemate . c o m thinking of only being involved for one month. I was able to keep
that time line, but wasn't anticipating meeting the wonderful gentleman I have been blessed to know.
He is from all places the Netherlands. A destination that has been on my bucket list since my twenties.
Now it looks as if I will have my opportunity. I have applied for a new passport and I am scheduling my
departure for May. I'm very happy.-
This is kind a look like Mongolian food. We usually eat that way! Yummy yummy.. Miss that test.
