Todays rations: blueberry pancakes and pine needle tea, then tuna macaroni salad.

Posted by elonmusktheturd22@reddit | shittyfoodporn | View on Reddit | 28 comments

1 cup betty crapper instant pancake mix, 1/3 pint jar home canned blueberries with the juice water. A little more water to make batter then pan fry. Ate without butter or syrup.

Tea is a couple clusters if white pine needles steeped in hot water. Good for vitamin c, tastes like how a pine tree smells.

1 large can tuna, 1 can peas and carrots, 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 cups of dry macaroni (bigger once cooked) and a couple spoons of relish. Mixed together. All but the relish was stuff people got in the good pantry and gave to me because they didn't want it.

More shitty looking cuisine

Peeped the profile. Is this a survival thing for fun or can I send you some grocery money in a few days ?

Aw I needed that! Thank you. I just know what being creative until next paycheck looks like. Luckily he’s just frugal and having fun with it.

Im just extremely frugal. Been at it so long that now that i have money i don't use it and just stick to what i know. I do have an income, i just dump it all into massive improvements to my farm instead of personal day to day stuff. Like the $45k i invested over 3 years putting in my fish pond, or $30k clearing a field of stumps and putting in tile drain.

Oh okay. I really need to get like you one day. I’ve always wanted to test my survival skills out and live off the land.

I’m a small girl I’ll probably last one week lol

Well, at least you won’t get scurvy!

Was the pine needle tea actually okay? I'm intrigued

I’ve had pine tea before as well as cedar tea. I found both to be decent, but they taste exactly how they sound so ymmv!

Preferred the pine to cedar though.

Tastes like what a pine tree smells like.

Not something i particularly want to drink again. Was something people drink historically to avoid scurvy in winter (scurvy is the lack of vitamin c).

I listed all the drinks i could make free at home elsewhere on Reddit the other day so decided to make a cup this morning, hadn't had it in a while. I don't like warm drinks at all (got hot cocoa mix that expired in 2012, i just do not like warm drinks)

Pine needle or other edible evergreen tea has more bioavailable vitamin C than oranges

We have something in Quebec based on this called spruce beer. Mostly made by our grocery store house brands. They have a metric fuck ton of sugar but I absolutely love them. Tastes like a sweet pine tree

I’m with you on the warm drinks. Tea, cocoa mix… always sound good but I just don’t like warm drinks so when I occasionally buy them, thinking that they sound so good, they just sit for literally years in my pantry until I realize that they are as old as they are and toss them while feeling guilty (chemo eliminated my ability to gauge the passage of time, so time to me is like hunger is to you).

redskyatnight2162@reddit

Chemo can do that? Wow. I’m glad you’re still with us!

[-]

SevenVeils0@reddit

Thank you.

They warned me that chemo is known to damage memory (it’s known as ‘chemo-brain’), and I think this is a weird manifestation of that. My body and brain don’t generally do things normally lol, so I’m not shocked that it took a weird form.

But you know, had I been given a menu of sorts, a list of possible parts of my memory function to lose, this would have been my choice. I was very worried that my general memory, which has always been very accurate, would become less reliable. That would have been a severe bummer. I mean, I have calendars and such.

Typo. Food pantry stuff.

[-]

redclawotter@reddit

Oh man I thought it was like, everyone else gets food from the GOOD pantry and you get the bad pantry. That makes way more sense

[-]

JennaHelen@reddit

I think they meant to type “food pantry”

Also the drained tuna water went to my barn cats

Tuna tea for the kitties!
