Ellen the cook

I found some pasta yesterday so had that for supper last night. The kids loved it. Of course they did - it had velveeta cheese on it! I think most of the canned foods are pretty good, though they cost about twice as much as at home. There is not much variety in fresh veggies and fruit, mostly people here eat leaves, and sqashy type things, pumpkin. We can get green beans, expensive carrots and tomatoes, someone gave me beets that are really nice,and onions and potatoes. Last week I found a cabbage but none this week. So far for meat we have had beef (very tough,even ground) and chicken which I pressure cooked and it was good. I am finding it a bit of a challenge to get used to the cooking, how much time it takes in particular.
