I wish I went shopping more with my parents. @[email protected] I realized I really don't know what kinds of meats to get and what qualities I need to keep an eye out for when it comes to fruits and vegetables.



*huggles Ultima* People will probably be coming in to get their cars looked at for summer trips too, huh?

I know some about fruits but I have no idea what to look for in meat. good thing I don't really like meat.

I've only been buying beef lately. Took me some time and experimenting to find out how to cook them. Pork makes me uneasy to work with, so I haven't tried it. >_> I did buy some chicken, but it's still in my fridge. I'm just not sure what I want to do with it.

So much easier to stick to Hamburger Helper...

yes, and I can make hamburger helper ^^ and spagetti

I think I'm going to stick to the pasta type Hamburger Helpers. I tried the rice one and the Asian Helper and didn't care for them. T_T

Mmm, I'm in such a mood for cheese.

I would love some spaghetti...I like putting hot sauce in it too to give it some spice. I prefer making the sauce out of fresh tomatoes...guhhh...I'm so limited in what I can do here! I want to just go home already!

there was a chicken helper rice thingie my mom made and it was good.

;ve had quite enough cheese for today. ick.

I like my spaghetti from a restaurant.

I tend to avoid ordering foods I know I can make myself. xD

I don't think they have chicken helper around here...I might try making tuna helper, if they have the one I like. *adds more things to the list*

well, everyone can make food better than me....I'd rather eat someone else's food.

I'm not a fan of tuna

I can be such a cheapskate. @[email protected] And eating out is a special occasion for me...even though I started doing it more often because there's no time to cook after shifts...8D

I think the military life really messed me up. I used to eat fairly healthy. Fast food, mmm, maybe once a month at most. Now, I'm stuck eating out far too often. >_>;; Sigh.

Mm, you might be able to substitute chicken for tuna in the Tuna Helper stuff, Tori. They are pretty similar, so the spices and such should work with chicken. D:

I can't wait to see this box of mysteries. xDD

*continues scanning >3>* Some aren't too clear. Oh well. :<

that makes sense though. at school I only ate out twice so I'm technically using my parents money.

that rather sucks. I eat even less fast food since I went to college.

hey sara

hey neko. how are you?

@Sara: Hmmm, I'll give that a try then. xD For me, beef is so easy to cook since it goes brown. Never had to cook chicken before, so I don't really know what it does. 8D *is such a loser*

Hi Kat! Hi Neko-neko. :D

Tori: I just think it should work. Tuna is the "chicken of the sea" and all~. 8D Do they have any canned chicken? That might work better for an instant type of dish (usually you just have to heat it to a certain point and it's fine b/c it's precooked, from what I remember).

oh yes, canned chicken I can do!!

D: my power hour is nearly over and I sitll have 197 flowers!!

I know I've seen the chicken that comes in the packages. xD Ahh, ideas. It'll be so much easier than the chicken breasts I have. <3

I do have a teriyaki marinate I was debating what to use on...

Sorry about disappearing like that. I was talking with Aryah on the phone. Did I miss anything?

Tori: Oh, those would work, too! I was just thinking something already precooked so you can just add it in and heat it up for a quick dinner kind of thing. :3

That marinade might be what you can use those chicken breasts for, then. ;D

I want a cookie!! mom won't buy those because they're unhealthy :( I convinced her to buy me ice cream though somehow.

okay, this thread makes me hungry!!!

I guess she figured dairy is better than cookies? 8D

Ahaha, I can't wait to make something to eat. xD

I'm just trying to plan out what to buy whenever I go grocery shopping!

Buy lots of fresh veggies and fruits~! /unhelpful as uploads stuff xD

its so hot outside that there's no way summer can be summer without ice cream!! :squee:

I love peaches. I want a peach
