With a lack of funds, due to excessive over spending and my depressing salary, I embarked on a cooking challenge. Dinner for two people, for 7 nights, no going out to eat, no ordering in, budget of only 40 pesos and my pathetic excuse of a pantry that was barely stocked. I’ll spare you the […]
Have some more sloppy joes. I made them extra sloppy for you
