#it’s NOT inexplicable#it’s bc someone based it on the unicode 6 yellow heart#which is colorless but shaded with halftone dots#and someone interpreted that like stubble#and drew this#which is SO FUCKING FUNNY via @animusbell
OH MY GOD
THE REASON THE YELLOW HEART IS SHADED THAT WAY IS BECAUSE OF FUCKING HERALDRY HATCHING ISN’T IT
FUCK YEAH AUTISM LET’S GOOOO

U don’t even know about the gentle moment my ocs shared that one time in my mind
When I moved out of my parents house, my mom gave me this cookbook so could save some money. The idea is that each of tge dishes in here costs less than $4, which was the typical daily food stamp budget in 2015. In addition to recipes, the book also has some solid advice on meal planning and waste reduction.
Ten years later, minimum wage is still the same.
Lets see how this Obama-era cook book stands up to 2025 prices.
(To be clear- this is not a criticism of the author, who did a lot of research and math for this.)
We are going to shop for the Half-Veggie Burger today, which in 2015 money was 90c per serving, 7.20 total.
For clarity of purpose, this is Central Ohio, and I will be shopping at Kroger. The book does not specify where she was shopping.
Alright! Lets do this!
So. One of the challenges is that its so much cheaper per unit if you buy in bulk. This is great for families like the one I grew up in (2 adults, 2 kids, chest freezer) but a little harder for my small family (2 adults, no kids, budget fridge in my rental house).
So I had to think about some things.
Bell pepper at 99c plus buns at 1.79 = 2.78
Divided by 8 = .34
I had to think about the beans. Dry beans have to be soaked before they can be cooked ( ive gotten sick from someone not soaking their beans first). I am a fan of paying the ADHD tax up front to get canned beans for myself.
Each can is something like.... a cup and a bit. So I would have to get three of them. 3 cups of lentils i think might be 3/4 the bag.
.89 × 3 = 2.67 ÷8 = .33
1.69 ×.75= 1.26, ÷8 = .16
Now meat.
Beef is expensive, there is no getting around this. If i had a bigger freezer, I would be getting this monster.
Which portions out at 5.66 a pound. But, because I'm being practical about my lifestyle, I chose the smaller roll at 6.99/lb.
16.99 upfront cost, 5.66 ÷8 = .70
6.99 ÷ 8 = .87
And now eggs, which... I lucked the hell out with a flash sale.
Which they normally sell at 2.69.
Which makes this hard to quantify because you cant always expect eggs to be inexpensive, especially as we get into colder months.
So I will give totals for both what I bought versus what a typical price range might be.
1.49 ÷ 12 = .12 ÷8 = .02
2.69 ÷ 12 = .22 ÷ 8 =.03
Now let's add it up to different totals.
The first total is the big roll of beef with bag lentils but regular price eggs.
Upfront cost:
24.15 (but remember that the eggs, meat, and lentils can be used in more recipes.)
Cost per burger:
1.23
Now my adhd tax beans, practical amount of beef, and very lucky eggs.
13.93 up front cost.
1.56 per burger.

So a 20-40 cent increase per serving doesnt sound bad. We are still under $4. But 20c per meal can get a little hairy over the course of a year.
Food prices are an interesting subject because they do fluctuate and its not always even how prices increase. Tariffs do things. Weather does things. Bird flu does things. Local markets can get weird on their own.
But this does affect everyone, and its something thats been on my mind since January. And with the possibility of losing SNAP next month, I think it was good for me to look at the reality of the situation.
Anyways- I do suggest this book. Prices may be out of date, but the recipes are really good.
Here is the rest of the recipe for y'all to try.
Link to the pdf on the internet archive:
Eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures. In a perfect world, healthy and delicious food would be all around us. It would be easy to choos
Omg I forgot about the Archive.
Yes, please download this.
I have this book also and can confirm that the food is good.
She also has another cook book which isn’t “cheap” but can be managed with less money per serving depending on how you buy- it wasn’t designed to be inexpensive food but is because all of the meals are made from scratch. And that’s the name, From Scratch. These food save well and fill you up better than heavily processed food, plus it can be helpful when presented with random ingredients which a lot of food shelf options provide:
From Scratch is a vegetarian cookbook intended for people just becoming comfortable in their own kitchens. By the author of Good and Cheap.
Everyone go home, this is the only acceptable plza meme from now on.
I find it very offensive that the more unwell you are, the more things you have to do to maintain your health. Things like following special diets, going to medical appointments, making big and important decisions about what treatments to use. At the same time, the more unwell you are the less energy you have to do all of these extra things. It seems grossly unfair.
my blog is a safe space for me. the rest of you are in danger i think
I hope we never find out. There should be some mysteries in this world.
