Poorfag cooking

[Anonymous No.6908507]

So here's what I done tonight.

1 boneless "country style" pork rib ($1.50/lb at Saars), sliced and trimmed, then rolled in cumin and chili powder.
1 onion, sliced.
About a cup of frozen peas.

I throw a splash of oil in the pan and let it get hot. I use Canola because it's a reasonably healthy oil compared to that palm shit, but it's still cheap enough that you don't have to worry about conserving it.

Once the oil is hot, meat goes in. It doesn't take long to cook through, after about a minute I turn each hunk with a fork.

Once the meat looks reasonably cooked on all sides, I throw in the veggies and fry it all up together.

I try to stir it and mix it around enough to get the juices and seasonings from the meat into the veggies. The onions will take the longest to cook, so they're how I judge when to take it off the heat. Once the onions get (more) translucent, soft and tender, it's done.

1 onion, 1 rib, and a cup or so of peas fills a 7-cup storage pyrex about half-way. It took me 4 skillet-loads to get everything cooked, but that's mostly because I'm stuck using a little 8" skillet until I get a new range. I probably could have fit it all in 3 skilletfuls, but I'm paranoid about overfilling it and having the stuff on top not get cooked through.

I'll be eating it over leftover rice, and possibly mashed potatoes. With luck I'll have leftovers for at least 4 more meals.

>1 boneless "country style" pork rib

Why are you cooking on a hot-plate when you've got a stove and why are you using your stove as a counter top, when you've got a counter top?

[Anonymous No.6910316]

>>6909790
Because I'm a complete dumbass. I shattered the glass-top of my smoothtop range about a month ago, and haven't scrounged up the money to replace it yet.

Apparently. I blame tumblr.

[Anonymous No.6912636]

As an actual poorfag, who can rarely afford meat, I stick to flour, sugar, water and milk in my cooking. You'd be amazed at the variety of things you can make with that, from naan bread to banana pancakes and you can even make your own "veggie" hamburger patties with veggies from a can, flour and water, then make the buns yourself too.

I love flour.

I think I'm doing pretty good. 5 days from the end of the month, and I've still got $22 left on my EBT card, plus a good size pot of chicken stew left in the fridge, and another big pot of squash soup, and a spaghetti squash in the pantry I haven't touched yet.

>>6912636
Flour's not allowed in my kitchen. Wife is allergic. It really cuts down on my cooking options, especially since most flour substitutes cost 10x more because lol gluten free hippie food, so I can't buy them.

The meats I can get for cheap are pretty much these pork ribs, which are fatty as hell but always a buck fiddy a pound, and occasionally some chicken breasts when they're on sale.

Every once in a while I'll get a ground turkey/pork/beef on sale, and cut it 1:1 with tofu, because I can get tofu for about $1/lb at Kroger.

80% of what I eat is rice, potatoes, and squash. If I don't mix some sort of protein in with it at least one meal a day, I lose my fucking mind.

dumpster diving

Dumpster diving is legal in the United States except where prohibited by local regulation. According to a 1988 Supreme Court Ruling (California vs. Greenwood), when a person throws something out, that item is now the public domain.

All the grocery stores in my area have big auger compactors, not open dumpsters. Not diveable.

And I'm not sure I would have the balls to do it anyway, even if they were open dumpsters. I used to work in retail, and I had people trespassed from store property for far less than dumpster diving. It might not be illegal, but if I were to piss off the manager and get formally 86'ed from a grocery store in my town, that would be a big problem for me.

1 cup milk = 150 cal

Lunch
8oz chicken breast = 240 cal

Have wiggle room for carbs and calories and can choose to fill that with low cal high alcohol beer which i did some digging and is gonna be either 2 Natural Light or 2 Becks Primer Light OR i can chose to have some bread with each meal, this is all of course optional. Can’t say that i can find any better for the price

Shit list tbh fam. Why are you /fit/izens so depressed and masochistic?
>chicken breast
lmao

[Anonymous No.6914161]

>>6914135
its great whats wrong? breakfast looks and tastes great, i make rice the day before and put in fridge to stir fry the next day with diced chicken breast and broccoli and some sesame oil in my wok. Dinner is grilled tilapia with some great spices, experimenting each time with different flavors and having my rice with a bit of soy sauce and broccoli with sinarcra tastes great and is healthy as shit as long as you know how to measure and not be retarded. What is wrong with any of this? are you just jealous because you are a fat piece of shit and you feel you have to justify your bad habits by criticizing me?

[Anonymous No.6914192]

>>6914135
That's not a bad setup. With some rice and spices/sauces you could have tasty stir fry and soy marinated chicken and broccoli.

I'd get more variety in my veggies, but that's just me.

Outside of special occasions and my love of beer I live fit life style. Frozen salmon instead of tilapia as well. Fuck I'm tipsy.

[Anonymous No.6914203]

>>6914161
Don't worry mate, I get it, you don't like eating or flavour.
>are you just jealous because you are a fat piece of shit
lmao you Americans really are bizarre. Do you not understand the concept of balance or portion control? Are you so poor that you have to eat the same food every single day to survive?

you sound really dumb to me because i choose this diet for its macros and micro nutrient ratios, this is a guideline that has room for substitutes. I save tons of money and it tastes great and i'm fit as fuck and you are a very simple minded person

$194/mo, and that has to feed two of us. I quit my shit retail job last year and re-enrolled in college - apparently being a student negatively impacts your SNAP. The government would rather I flip burgers than go to college; this explains so much about America.

I wish I tracked my food consumption as well as you. All I can say for sure is our monthly staples:
30 pounds potatoes & yams
15 pounds rice
10 pounds meat
90 eggs

I know a shitload of canned beans and tomatoes get used up in my kitchen, as well as a variety of fresh and frozen greens, but that stuff changes so much week to week that I've never tracked it.

yeah government intervention in the economy fucks up shit so that you have to rely on them so that you tend to favor them in voting. Its good you recognize a sliver of its hypocrisy, please read this you'll look at everything differently.

https://mises.org/library/war-peace-and-state

Now thats all out of the way, yeah i've set it up to be able to actually have a full pound of meat per day. Most on this budget restriction can't say that. I'm feeding myself and some of this carries over well into next month as well so its a bit less then what i've stated if we think about it like that. All foods were bought at walmart in oklahoma for reference.

Please take the time to read now or if you must you can just save the pdf there. Its always nice to try to teach someone freedom, this must be what it feels like to be a mormon or some shit

You can

Okay now i've gotten that out of my system

>8 bags broccoli = $48
the fuck is a 'bag' of broccoli, and why does it cost $6 each?
>4 tilapia = $48
the fuck are you buying tilapia at $12 ea? you can buy filets at most markets for $5/lb or less, much less a whole one.
>4lbs fresh chicken breast = $2/lb = $32
4 pounds at $2 a pound is $8.

that other anon is criticizing you because you're an idiot who doesn't realize you can hit those macros with other foods and not be a fucking autistic plebe manchild eating the exact same food every fucking day.

Oh boy, Austrian propaganda - Econ for people who can't do math but want to seem like they know lots.


How's that hyperinflation from qe treating you? Rich off your gold hoarding yet?

[Anonymous No.6914490]

>>6914450
there is inflation, for example a lot of people believe that oil prices have gone up in the past 100 years quite a bit. Fuel was cheaper you would say, then current fuel prices but in terms of gold its actually the same price a bit cheaper actually. The price of fuel hasn't changed much it is the dollar that has changed because of inflation. To understand economics you don't need to know some biased made up equations from some guy with a false premise- only logic and praxeology is required.

we've established that communication and english aren't exactly your best skills, so let's see if i can translate.

broccoli is ~$1.55 per lb. thanks for vaguely explaining what a "bag" is. since ya know that isn't a standard unit of measure.

moving along. so you are buying four 4-lb packages of tilapia at $12 per, yes? again, try and actually explain this ahead of time, 4 tilapia isn't a unit of measure.

same thing here, if you're buying multiple packages, state that, rather than having us assume you didn't fuck up some other number somewhere. yes, 4x8=32. much obliged.

you're still retarded for this btw, and i'm a fellow /fit/izen.
