Tuesday was a long day for me at
my service site, spending a couple of long hours with energetic yet
unenthusiastic middle schoolers. Although it was rough getting home late, my
team welcomed me with wide smiles, open ears, and comfort food: grilled cheese
and tomato soup!
Walter was the head chef with
Priscillia assisting. Although these low-cost food items may seem simple enough,
Walter jazzed them up with suggestions from his sister. His recipe:
6 cans tomato soup
2 cups milk
4 cups water
Pepper, sugar, salt, basil to taste
Combine all ingredients in a
large pot. Heat and stir for a while. Serve hot.
The grilled cheese was what you
would imagine, although they used oil to grill them in a pan when the supply of
butter began to run low.
COST:
Tomato soup (6 cans) $3.00
Loaf of wheat bread $1.49
American cheese singles $1.99
Imitation cheese singles (what we
affectionately refer to as “feeze,” short for “fake cheese”) $0.99
One gallon of milk is $4.00, but
that comes out of our breakfast budget.
Other ingredients on hand: water,
spices
TOTAL: $7.50
