One thing about the end of the semester is that you are left with either a fridge full of perishable items and only so many days to eat them....or you have no food and you eat terribly (aka taco bell)
Kimmy and I are left with the first problem. Our roommates left us with so much perishable food, we weren't sure what to do with it all.
As we made a mental list of our food, we came to find we have an entire bag of hot-dog buns(thank you Becca) and two dozen eggs...as well as some unidentifiable leftovers and some ketchup.
{this may or may not be a bit of an eggs-aggeration}
It was decided that we were going to see how many things we can make with Hot-dog buns....we thought of the following:
Eggs and toasted buns, fried egg sandwiches,french toast buns
Egg salad sandwiches
Mini pizzas..did I mention cheese?
The buns would make good garlic bread to accompany some soup, leftover from some one...and I found a recipe for pineapple upside down cake using leftover buns...I wonder if in the case of no pineapple, we could make sweet corn cakes {canned veggies: gotta love 'em}
Salami Paganini? How about fake lunch meat Paganini?...yummy.
{insert gag reflex here}
To accompany our eggs and buns,
We have also discovered 4 bags mini carrots, some spinach,2 bags of salad,an onion and something that looks like celery....
maybe we will make croutons to go on a salad!
We figure we will eat fairly well, until Kimmy leaves on Sunday...then its just me and my canned veggies..and maybe some noodles.
This adventure, if nothing else, will teach me to be frugal...I will no longer be the one who throws out leftovers, this creative culinary experimentation will teach me to use everything.
