It was a good life experience that I didn't enjoy, but I got rained out for so long I ate boiled cornmeal from a discarded and infested sack I found on the side of the road. I mixed it with wild garlic that was growing in the yard. I was so hungry, it was delicious to me. I've dumpster dived for food before too. It wasn't that terrible of a thing in the US in the eighties. Good food was thrown away by restaurants all the time. Now restaurants mostly ensure that no eats their wasted food, by locking it up.馃槙 Progress!
Thank you for the best answer choice, Yiskah!

@puck61 I bet you could cook a really nice meal from the simplest ingredients couldn't you? You're a true survivor.
@cherokeepatti I just mixed generic top ramen noodles with tuna fish, mixed vegetables, green beans, a dollop of mayonnaise, and made the best damn soup! My poor boy goup soup was pretty fricking good! I added hot sauce and some adobo to it. Yeah!

@puck61 that sounds interesting...a guy I worked with would go home and make Ramen noodles with green beans mixed in them, said it was filling and easy to make...surprising what we can mix up and make taste good.
@cherokeepatti Yes. It's really important to get the vegetables in there, and the proteins and fiber. Ramen noodle soup by itself is slow suicide!

@puck61 I've made it with whatever meat I had on hand, leftover chicken or beef sliced up or smoked turkey sausage, some fresh chopped garlic, onion, sliced carrots, celery, peas and add some soy sauce after the veggies get cooked...really good on a cold day and made it at work one time at lunch and shared it with my Thai friend, she loved it.
@cherokeepatti Hunger is the best spice!

@puck61 it certainly is, I have fasted for over a day at a time and eat a piece of celery to break the fast and it tastes wonderful.
@cherokeepatti On June 23rd I went from 10 years of relative luxury to a kind of squalor, and it has actually been good for me spiritually. Appreciation and consideration for others starts building in these situations. Loneliness leads to introspection which leads to growth.

@puck61 Glad you are turning it into a positive experience. And I've had situations where I've learned to appreciate the smallest things that I might have otherwise taken for granted.
