    Mexican food is the cheapest and easiest and most delicious food to make. Old el Paso is old el crapo when you can just throw some tomatoes, garlic, and onion in a blender with whatever pepper you prefer and you’ve got amazing fresh salsa.

        I meant now as an adult, but yeah definitely as a pre-teen, too. You think kids can’t cook? There’s a whole show about it. A reality show.

          ok, well different kids get given permission to do different things at different times. I’m sharing my story. That’s how that shit went down for me.

            And your story is one of grave injustice. I can certainly empathize as ‘it’s too expensive’ was my parent’s go-to growing up as well. But Mexican food is godly and you clearly need to make up for lost time, which is why I want to share what I took wayyyy too long to discover which is that it’s actually really cheap and easy and better to make at home.
