Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

If you are a good boy and like to eat your fruit, you might have some banana's lying around, if so, do this -
Banana Cake
4oz butter or margarine
6oz sugar (granulated, caster, or mix in some demerara, whatever you have to hand)
8oz self raising flour
2 eggs
2 large or 3 medium, very ripe bananas
Heat the oven to gas mark 4; 180C
Grease a 2lb loaf tin.
Mash the bananas with a sturdy fork.
Cream the butter and sugar together and mix in the eggs
Mix together the two yellow sludges you now have.
Mix in the flour.
Scrape into the loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes then lower teh temperature to gas mark 2; 150C and cook for a further 30 minutes.
Try to let it cool (turned out on a rack) before you devour it.

Buy six or seven beef briskets and smoke them on the balcony for a half day or so.
Invest in a crock-pot if you don't have one. They are practically idiot-proof to cook with and most come with a recipe book. Dump in a piece of meat, any old cut, some potatoes & veggies of choice, add a little water. Put it on low to medium, go to class or workout, and 3-4 hours later your home eating tender meat & potatoes/veggies. They're versatile easy one pot meals, easy to clean, simple to use. Be creative and try ingredients you like as substitutes for variety. Soups & chili's are great crock-pot meals to utilize any leftovers.
You're looking for cheap filling eats, which means rice, beans, pasta, grits as the main ingredient/filler, vegetables in season. Meat when you can afford it.
Here's an Italian recipe my granny used to make, Polenta & pepperoni. Polenta is ground cornmeal.
Ingredients:
2 cups corn grits
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
jar of spaghetti sauce
2-3 oz.'s pepperoni *dice it up*
Preheat oven to 350
Boil the water in a saucepan add the salt. Add the corn grits, turn the heat down to medium and start stirring. In between stirring grease a casserole dish *bottom & sides* with olive oil or butter, make sure it's well coated. Continue stirring the polenta so it doesn't burn. The mixture will thicken in 20-30 minutes and you'll know you reached the right consistency when you can pull the spoon or spatula across the bottom of the pot and the polenta does not fill it back in. Just make sure not to burn it.
Add the 2 tbl spoons of butter and stir that in. Put the polenta into the greased casserole dish and pack it in a tight layer, forms a better crust that way. Sprinkle on the parmesan and put it in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile heat your diced up pepperoni in some of that spaghetti sauce.
When the polenta is done let it sit for 10 minutes or so to set up *if you can*. The top and bottom should have a nice crust and the middle nice and creamy.
Cut yourself a slice, top with the pepperoni sauce, eat like somebody's gonna take it from ya.
If, by some miracle there are any leftovers pop it in the fridge. Pan fry it with your eggs for breakfast.
Goldang it, now I'm hungry![]()

Heres what I ate for dinner today, I highly reccomend it.
Ingrediants:
2 egg rolls
a few mushrooms you buy from wal-mart
quarter stick of butter
some spices (I used peppers cut from my backyard)
First you sautee the mushrooms. Which basically means boil them in butter on a pan till they turn crisp. Add the peppers halfway (or sometime before that, or maybe a little bit after, doesnt matter at all).
Microwave the 2 eggrolls before your done with the mushrooms.
Combine the 2 into one solitary plate. Soy sauce is optional.
When its all finished, you got a bangin plate. Your roommate might wonder whats that smell though. Tell him its the smell of deliciousness. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you. Your ####### the next day however, will not. Thats all part of the fun though.

I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
