Hidden pleasures of life: preparing and consuming simple meals...

These days I do a lot of these:

Ramen noodles with boiled eggs
Boiled potatoes mixed with margarine
Spaghetti cooked with garlic and olive oil

Benefits:

There is a hidden nice feeling when you are consuming these because you know you are saving lots of money.

Very easy to cook, less hassle and effort.

Quick to make, quick to eat.

Usually tasty and filling.
