Most pathetic meal I've ever had

[permit]

I go to the store every week and purchase groceries. This provides ample sustinence for the week. If I'm out of something, I go buy it.

I don't get it, I bailed out of my parent's house when I was 18, what the hell are you kids doing?

-Charlie

Ok Charlie, we get it. You don't live with your parents. I swear, every thread I start contains something about Charlie explaining that he moved out of his parent's house when he was 18.

NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE YOU CHARLIE. GET OVER IT.

My point about living with your parents still is that it gets worse when you are first on your own, and you are the only one that can do anything about it. :-D

How old are you anyways? I know you are in college and your parents are rich, so why don't you move out?

I don't live with my parents. They live in San Diego, I'm in Arizona. I live with them over Summer and Winter vacation, but that's it.

Well then. Someone mentioned your mom in this thread and you were saying your mom doesn't want an extra car in the driveway, so I figured you lived at home still.

I'm in Charlie's boat. Then again I have a wife and a kid. I remeber the days of being young and busted though. My favorive ghetto snack from back in the day was ramen. Like 4 packages for a buck. It got to a point where I would eat a big ramen cracker. Don't cook it, sprinkle a little seasoning package powder on there and voila! ramen cracker. You guy should have figured this out already, but if you haven't, I'll help you out. Go to the grocery store. It doesn't matter if you have money or not, shop anyway. Then while your "shopping" sample about everything in the store. Get a sandwich from the deli section while your there. As long as your eating it in the store, it's not really "stealing" it's sampling.

Well one of the cars is always in Cali, so it's still an extra car that has to sit in her driveway.

Dude, quit queering up on us. Seriously. Between this little outburst and you watching Oprah religiously, it's getting scary.

I like your style.

We walk into Albertsons and grab one of the fresh loafs of bread and munch on that while we shop, then we'll take a Sobe or two to wash down the bread. We'll chill at the deli and ask for samples of a lot of meats and cheeses, then buy the cheapest ones of each.

Problem with our house is that my roommates and I will do a $150ish grocery shop once a week, and then we'll get high and drunk and eat everything within 4-5 days, and we'll have that 3-4 days of no food. I guess this is supposed to happen though, it's college. I'm not complaining, I just thought it was funny that that tuna thing was my meal.

Ramen crackers are so Freshman year...


I hate Opera, I watched it once for Dave Chappelle...oh darn.

Maybe Charlie and I should just battle it out through PMs one day. This is tiring.

so.... what this thread is really saying is your parents give you a Food fund and in your alcoholism and potsmoking.... you spend all of it and can't feed yourself right??

last semester i was bad and didnt' go to marsh and had to order pizza a lot. i gained like 20lbs and spent too much $$. now i'm smart and go to Marsh, use my fresh idea card, and buy lunch meat, bread, cheese, ketchup, drinks, and save 16% at checkout, and spend far less than i would at fucking fast food. Sara Lee sliced Turkey and Roast Beef, Kraft Colby Jack shredded Cheese...some garlic salt... microwave (wish i had a toaster oven).. For the win. some Corn, some pears.

part of Charlie's post was probably what I'm saying here. It's college. It's called practice wakeup to the realworld 101. You are supposed to be independent and able to take care of yourself. Do your laundry, pay your rent, clean your room, and feed yourself... as well as managing your finances and making a budget (which undoubtly including a large portion for alcohol). But what you are displaying is a complete lack of ability or intelligence to handle yourself. Congrats, you are worthless....

Heeter got at exactly what I was going for.

Ugh. You guys don't understand the point to this thread.

I'm not complaining about my lack of ability to afford/make/buy my own meal, I just thought it was funny that tuna straight out of the can was my meal. Trust me, that is a first. I make real meals just as you do, I'm not completely incapable to taking care of myself.

Like every college student (even the Heeter's, the Charlie's, the TJ's, the Robert's, the whatever), there comes a time when your quality of meals sinks to a new low, but obviously not forever.

then you vastly overestimated how much we cared

Exxxxxactly.

I'm sure all of you were just looking out for my good health

[rwh11385]

you posted on r3v.

face it. you opened yourself up for criticism

I think I've got you beat. When my wife and I were first living together on our own, I'm talking like the first year, we were fucking BROKE. One time, we weren't going to have money to go grocery shopping for a week, so we ate boiled pasta mixed with melted parmesean cheese for like 6 days. One time in the summer, same situation, we had NO food money. It was hot as hell, and all we had in the house was a big ass bag of those 2-stick fruit popscicles, and Kool-Aid mix. We busted apart the entire bag of popscicles and threw them in the blender, tossed in 3 different flavors of Kool-Aid, and made the most ghetto-fabulous, sour, tasty smoothies I've ever had. :D

Wanna hear wack-ass recipes for munchies? My mom makes this fucking dip for tortilla chips that is so far beyond nasty, I won't even touch it, but her and my 2 brothers LOVE IT. She melts Velveeta cheese with jar of salsa, then adds one pack of boiled ramen, mixes it all up, and dips chips in it. GACK.

that's fucken gross josh, you make SE asian food seem normal hahahahah
