It's Saturday night, when our larder usually seems bare. I was thinking about a run to the grocery store and checked your blog for a little inspiration (I do this periodically, ever since I found your frappucino recipe!:-)). After reading these posts, I decided to just go see what I had in the fridge. Turns out I have the ingredients for huevos rancheros, and a bunch of sweet potatoes to cut up and roast in olive oil. Thanks for inspiring me not to waste, but to work with what we have! Alice, I just want you to know what a direct effect your Hunger Week just had on me.

We're both in college, so we don't have jobs, and are pretty much relying on parents. He does have a meal plan for our school, making cutting costs easier since I can get in too, but we still (apparently) eat pretty cheaply! but I'm impressed that you can do this with KIDS! I can't imagine being an adult with a family trying to live like that - this is amazing way to look at hunger.
