Emergency Meals For The Desperate Man

It is getting close to dinnertime. You are starting to get hungry. For some reason, dinner is up to you. Maybe the wife is gone for the weekend. Maybe you live alone. Will you sit at your dining room furniture set, with fork and knife in hand, and dream? You could always have takeout food. It is not too healthy. Maybe you do not have a lot of money. You may need to make do, with what you have. Look around the kitchen and pantry. You might find a meal.

As you look through the pantry, you may find some things for a meal. Is there any rice? How about canned vegetables? Do you have some potatoes that are just sitting in there? Do you see saltine crackers? Do you have spices? You may have a meal at your disposal. Homemade potato soup can be very filling. It also tastes good. The price is very reasonable, too.

Take three or four medium potatoes from the pantry. Try to find some onions. If not, try onion powder or onion salt. Check the refrigerator for celery. You can also substitute celery seed or celery salt, if necessary. Peel the potatoes and cut them in to small pieces. Place them in some water. You may be wondering how much water.

Your water needs will depend on how hungry your are. You can fill a good size pot. You may also use your wife’s Sanyo rice cooker. Just be sure and clean it, after you use it. The object of this meal is to cook the potatoes until they are soft. If you can easily smash them, they are done. You will be using onions and celery for seasoning. It may not take too many minutes to cook the potatoes. Use medium heat for ten or fifteen minutes.

Would you like thick soup? Add instant potatoes to the pot, when the potatoes are soft. Turn off the heat. Add about one cup or 240 cc of milk. You can add any type of milk. Put in about one tablespoon of butter.

You can add some celery salt and crackers to your bowl of soup. The crackers will thicken and add more flavor to your soup. Clean up any messes, after you are done. You want to appear that you are capable of caring for yourself.

Conclusion

Man can survive with woman, at least for short periods. You may need to be creative. You can make yourself an edible meal from items in your pantry. An electric rice cooker will work for many things besides making rice. There is no reason to go to bed hungry.
