Hezah, 26

You are looking at a photo of my dinner. Yeah, it’s spaghetti-o’s. WHAT’S UP? Don’t worry I also had a partial veggie tray and a handful of chocolate covered pretzels. Keeping it well balanced.

I bought this can of tomatoy pasta because when I went to the market this past weekend, they looked delicious and I felt poor. I blew through October’s pay like king size bag of M&M’s (i.e. in the blink of an eye), and after dropping $100 at my favorite store (30% sale SALE could not be passed up) this just felt like an area to scrimp. 

I am a fully functionally adult (on paper) and have the means and capability to cook my own meals, but I just never really learned. My mother barely scraped by with her signature “Pizza Muffins” (english muffin with tomato sauce and cheese) and some mac n’ cheese. I was definitely not learning any skills from her, and cooking for myself just seems futile. I know, I should really bag this defeatist attitude. 

And start bringing back the infamous Pizza Muffin.
