Next, I had to decide what to serve with them on my budget of $5. I was hoping for pork chops but it turns out my concept of how much things cost is a little skewed so I was forced to go with pies. This meal is a favourite in our household especially since G coined it "Peas, Pies and Piles of Fries" a few years back.
At the risk of declaring a First World Problem, it shits me to tears that frozen chip packets claim they cook in 15 minutes. They took an hour, as did the pies and I don't think our crappy oven was the entire issue.
The peas took about a minute to cook and were almost the best thing on the plate.
The picture says it all. Well, it doesn't say, 'G ate this and enjoyed it', but it is true.
ReplyDeleteIf this meal had a subtitle it would be, 'Cooked with love - eaten with a knife and fork'.
Oh, and the chips were nicely salted.
