I don't have much money left, so it's time to make chili. However, the price of baked beans (in the USA, you would commonly find them as pork and beans) has gone up. Not that that is a problem, because there's none to be found, other than the tiny little half cup sized cans. It's almost as if... EVERYBODY HERE HAS STARTED TO MAKE CHILI. I can't find plain old pinto beans in a can around here, the other option is to cook up raw red beans, but that is expensive. So I'm making chili tonight out of lentils. Yeah, lentils. For some reason, the price of lentils has gone down to RM2 a kilo. That's cheap, and filling. But how will it work for chili? I couldn't even afford tomatoes or tomato puree/paste. So tonight's chili will have no beans nor tomatoes. I have the lentils soaking right now. Please pray for my success.
Oh Natty, you must be super busy right now. Well go get them, and do your best, and have lots of fun doing it. Make sure you get plenty of rest, and drink lots of water. Keep that tummy cool and hydrated! I forgot to mention how much I loved those boots of yours. Once upon a time long ago, I was able to afford a pair of Doc Martens. They were great looking, and very comfortable. But then I wore them to work at the pizza joint, so they eventually disintegrated. I shouldn't have done that. From then on, I only wore US jungle boots at the restaurant, which were cheap at the army surplus store, so I could just chuck them and replace them without much financial effort. I wish I hadn't destroyed my Doc Martens, though. But c'est la vie. I wouldn't have been able to wear them anyway after my feet grew 2 sizes bigger.
