Can't go wrong with raman noodles, and hamburger helper. There is spageti, and store bought sauce. No, I'm not gay, just think food rocks, and no one should eat microwaved food.

I emailed him about a cook book called a Man, a Can, and a Pound of Meat.

Know several people how have it. All women actually, who don't cook and needed stuff that was REALLY easy.

A few things might call for two cans. But it is really down to that.

After I sent the email, he looks at my profile but doesn't bother to even read the email.....

I don't get it.

get some pork riblets, and some baby rays bbq sauce

in a 8x13x2 pan lay the ribs out flat, put sauce atop them, <2 rows one atop the other are ok>. put in oven at 275 degrees for about 3 hours or 4 till they fall apart....Dont drain the grease till right before you eat them this helps keep them moist, but brush them with more sauce and turn them like once an hour....

2 cans of cream of chicken soup
seasoning salt, pepper to taste
2 cans of chicken broth
bisquick mix <u need milk to mix> directions on box for dumplings
1 small bag of mixed corn, carrots,peas,greanbeans frozen


in a big pot pour in chicken broth, throw in chicken breasts boil them. when cooked cut up chicken into chunks , then throw in the 4 cans of soup, add seasoning salt and pepper, turn to about 4 on the burner,, add the frozen veggies while they cook prepare biscuit mix and plop the dumplings atop the soup mixture and follow dumpling instructions on the bisquick box..

He should just do what everyone else does. Post a Rate My Profile thread and ask if he is date-able.......
