The entire world loves beans -- especially beans and rice. I wish I could go back in time and teach myself how to make a proper meal of beans and rice. So many nights of going hungry because I thought the last $10 in my wallet couldn't pull everything together. I'd tried eating ramen or baked potatoes but it made me feel sick and weakly. The baked potatoes made me less sick -- and they do have a lot (all?) of what you need -- but they can't really compete with rice and beans. A dollar per bag and you've got $8 leftover for a $1 bottle of hot sauce, 4/$1 limes, $0.25 onion, etc. You could spend that last $8 better, but as far as making you feel like you're sitting down to a meal, rice and beans is untouchable. Psychologically that's very important -- baked potatoes are just too fucking depressing. Maybe skip the limes and onion, and get some eggs or a whole chicken. Got to have the hot sauce, though.
