Creamy tomato soup poured into a bowl and diced mozarella balls added so they melt a bit while you eat them with the soup. Main course was creamy chicken and broccolli with penne. Tiramisu in wine glasses for dessert.

I was learning to make pizza at the time, and for some reason, I came home one day and realized that I didn't have money for groceries until I got paid again. All I had in the house was a bag of flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, dried herbs, Kraft parmesan cheese, and a bottle of ranch dressing.

I made this focaccia-like bread that I brushed with olive oil and sprinkled dried herbs and parmesan on. I cut them into bread sticks and dipped it in ranch dressing.

You might be thinking, "Damn son, your most depressing meal was some fresh-baked bread?" First, I had no choice but to eat that. Not having control of a situation is always depressing. Second, I am an absolutely *shit* baker. It was pale, and greasy and just...ugh. Lastly, I survived on that shit for almost a week. I had headaches from what I can only assume was the beginning of malnutrition.

When I got paid, I bought a feast of Chinese-American takeout. I had hot and sour soup, wonton soup, egg rolls, fried chicken wings, crab rangoon, General Tso's, Kung Pao chicken, and fried rice. It was like $16 for everything and I devoured it over the course of a few hours. No ragrets.

Stop right there! Can you pile all of those items into a single bowl and just kinda make them into a wet mound of starch that I can eat with a spoon like I'm a death-row prisoner on suicide watch? … Is there a way that the bowl can play This Mortal Coil's It'll End in Tears album while I'm eating it at 2:00 in the morning in my darkened apartment, just kind of staring into the distance? … If you could put my lunch in a blender and liquefy it and put it into a caulking gun and then inject it right into my femoral artery, even better. But until you invent the lunch gun, I would like a failure pile in a sadness bowl.

Or this:

Right after I first moved out, I didn't know how to cook. So I'd cook everything in the microwave. I had saved up a couple $ before I moved out, so I wasn't initially eating canned fish every day.

My strategy was to take those bone-less, skinless chicken breasts, and put them in a tupperware container filled with a mixture of soy sauce and vinegar. I'd microwave it about 20 minutes on high.

I fucked up the only pan the first day, because I tried to fry frozen chicken in olive oil on high heat, and it burned the teflon. So I'd cook eggs in the microwave. I mixed them with saeurkraut to keep them moist.

Yeah, all these faggots whining about having to drink wine and eat broccoli with their ex, wow, your life is so hard.

One time I was stuck between being late for rent or starving. I chose the latter because job uncertainty

I was entirely broke and out of food, all I had in my fridge was a lone, quarter-full mustard container (depressing sight by itself, but it gets worse)

Nothing else to eat, dire straights shit, losing my mind because my body is screaming at me to eat.

So I get a paper plate, dig into a trash bag I was gonna take out the next day, remove some partially hardened pizza crust and squirt the last of my mustard on it, dip the crust in and mournfully ate it while sitting in a folding camp chair in an empty living room.

Shit like this is exactly why I learned to cook. I spent most of my 20's as a starving artist. Running out of money happened often enough that I got used to it. Learned to always keep shit like lentils and dried pasta around. Stuff that keeps a long time and can be made into decent meals when you're flat-ass broke.

Eventually I became good enough at cooking those poor man dishes that I still make them today, even though economic necessity no longer dictates that I HAVE to eat them. Today I'll make something like Sicilian lentil and pasta soup and enjoy the fuck out of it because it tastes good. Then I'll chuckle to myself when I remember that four servings of the stuff costs me about a dollar.

When I was in college, I went through a period of extreme poverty. My roommate had a nervous breakdown and moved home, and when she left, she turned off all the utilities that were in her name, but didn't tell me. She didn't even tell me she was moving home until the day before she left. So, I came home from classes to a dark apartment with no electricity (which meant no stove or oven or heat). I couldn't afford the deposit on my meager part time job wage (since I was now also responsible for the total rent), so I had to wait it out until I had saved up enough money. My neighbors gave me a ten pound bag of pinto beans, which I cooked over sterno. In the dark. For two months. That was by far the most depressing thing I've ever eaten.

Wrong about what? That you didn't get the joke and tried to act like some sort of grammar nazi fucknut? No, you did that. For gods sake, the Wa La thing has been here for a good while now (the joke being that's it's misspelled), so either you are new here, or you're just fucking thick. (And I highly doubt you've been here longer than I have, but that's not the point). So STFU.

Three-day old stale bread, sugarless black instant coffee made from barely-boiled water, and a lump of partially-hardened Cheddar.

That, or the time I had chili con carne and suffered a major depersonalization episode and wicked-sick burnout. Ever since I can't eat chili.

ITT: People who cannot properly budget their money!

Another thing I dont understand, why if you are moving out and only have oldass sardines or fucking cup a noodles, do you eat that shit? Just throw it out? Don't give me that: "muh starving kids in africa, i gotta eat the whole pantry" Just cut your losses, gather 2 bucks in loose change and grab 2 mcdoubles or something. Like every fast food restaurant has a dollar menu for a reason, our nation has a bunch of poor planning retards

I know this life.

Eat in pasta for about 2 meals a day when I didn't recall know how to cook and only started to leanr because my alcoholic shit mom didn't care enough tk make anything more than barely cooked chicken or the most rank ass shit ever.

I've learned to lib pasta in all forms since then, but knowing that the bowl of pasta with shirt jarred sauce I was eating that night for diner was also my dinner from the previous night and the next days dinner and maybe any days lunch or dinner before and after really made not want to stop eating entirely for a while.

The New Year's Eve before this one I spent eating hotdogs (knakworsten) wrapped in pancakes. It's nice enough any other time, but as dinner alone with fireworks going off outside it was pretty depressing.

This New Year's Eve was a lot better though. Friends and food aplenty.
