Compare This to The Dollar Menu!

I'm so excited! Today I spent 7 hours (8 hours total, including shopping) preparing a hearty split-pea and ham stew (with organic carrots, celery, onions, & garlic), stone ground cornmeal muffins, and washing/polishing apples for 48 people. It was my donation this week to the homeless outreach called Midnight Run.

Total Cost: $39.01 = Cost per meal $ .81!

I used the bones, wings and trimmings (defatted) from last week's duck dinner to make the broth, a whole ham (on sale with a $.55 off coupon) whole milk to make the muffins with Hodgson's Self-Rising Muffin Mix (5# bag), and 1/2 bushel of MacIntosh apples. I'll figure out all the food values before I post the slide show of it on my cooking blog this weekend, but this meal is packed with nutrition and made with absolutely first class ingredients. I knew it would come in under a dollar but WOW! Forgive me for being so impressed with myself-LOL! What a great day!

What is this crap, boasting about feeding poor people on the cheap?

One recalls the primitive full of beans, the "Treasonous Bastard" primitive, who boasted of making a pot of cheap beans for the homeless while she at the same time was fixing filet mignon, pheasant under glass, and petits fours for herself.

Or the primitive (name forgotten; one of the obscure unterprimitiven) who was fixing up a bunch of sirloin steaks, and when a homeless person knocked on his door, gave the poor guy a peanut butter sandwich; didn't even put jelly on it to make it look nice.

7. Could have been bologna on white bread and packages of store-bought cookies. I hope they like it and I despair that even if they don't, that's all they get anyway. I do feel good about doing it.

Hey I fed the homeless the other day. I gave him four double cheeseburgers from Mickey D's and fries. He scarfed it down in between sips of MD 20-20.*


*I must say that I knew the guy. Went to HS with him and he was one of my friends back then. He's a drunk. As I was walking in to Mickey D's he asked me if I would buy him some food. So I did. We chatted while he was eating the cheeseburgers... and he literally washed it down with MD 20-20. So sad. I was depressed the rest of the day.

Don't dislocate a shoulder patting yourself on the back, yeller.

WTF Chris? I wasn't patting myself on the back. 90 percent of the time the homeless are homeless for a reason and I ain't that nice a guy. At least I ain't a damned hypocrite like the dumpmonkeys are. If I hadn't of know the guy I wouldn't have bought him jack shit.

No, not you.  The DUer.  He just sounds so ecstatic about his meal.  Most soup kitchens do not have eight hours to pore over a single meal like he does.  And they do it every day.

Sorry for the confusion.

The split pea stew sounds good.  I normally cut my vegetables and meat into finer pieces for soup, but larger pieces as a stew sounds tasty.  The 'organic' this and 'stone-ground' that just sounds like so much egotistical drivel I've heard from chefs and cooks who spent too much money at culinary school.

So this is that one in a hundred times that a DUmmy actually walks the walk.

Way to go yellerpup.

...but do you cut them on the diagonal?

It's my wife's thing....sandwiches, fruits, vegetables, everything must be cut diagonally........sheeesh, my teeth are going to mash it all up regardless of how it's cut.

That would be your normal DUmmie/libtard.

Seriously, I'll never forget when the primitive full of beans, the "Treasonous Bastard" primitive, just dumped several pounds of beans into a pot of boiling water, and gave it to the poor.

Warm soaked beans.

Geezuz.

^^Doesn't surprised me.
I'm surprised he put that much effort into it.

[longview]

With all the money saved, s/he can now do the nice deed twice.  Right?

I guess I'll buck the trend and congratulate yellerpup for making the effort. I'm sure the homeless appreciated a nice meal regardless of the intentions behind it.

As for the alcoholic homeless person I'll admit that sometimes when I get panhandled I'll give them some spare change. I not an idjit though. I know that it'll go towards their next bottle of booze. As the old adage says, "There but for the grace of God, go I"
