Unlike the ones from last week these are made at home. They are made from chicken to cut costs.

This is pure comfort food for a lot of people in San Diego.

Cost per person, $3.21 I could have saved a dollar+ by buying an avocado a week ago instead of going to the one Tienda that keeps perfectly ripe avocados behind the counter. But then I would have bought more avocados and not actually saved anything.

There are six here. The traditional order is 5. And doesn't come with beans. Retail price according to Google maps picture of the menu: $9.50

I finally got around to making my batch of rolled tacos after getting a gift card for donating blood.

I made shredded chicken for them and a side effect of that is a lot of deeply flavored chicken stock with roasted green chilies, onions and other things. This is literally one home canned jar of black beans and some fried tortillas away from tortilla soup.

If we count everything that goes into making the taquitos they come out to 26.7 cents each. The soup base is free surplus. This brings the cost of this meal to just 48¢ per person with the taquito included.

This soup base is so loaded with chicken extract that it was a full gel when I pulled it out of the fridge.

That could be an episode title from Babylon 5. But it's happening here. She was one of many cats I helped trap with Katie before Katie died. There were 19 cats in that colony we TNRed. But five were kittens that had the chance of being tamed and adopted.

Ivonava refused to be tamed. She was extra when I caught her and she is extra now.

She has been captive too long to go back to her colony. She can't be adopted because people don't adopt the car that hisses at them. There aren't many places for cats like this. They aren't foster fails. They are domestication fails.

Thanks to food and flea meds being provided by [redacted non-profit], and the donations they get, she will have a home. She will be released in our house. Eventually she will find out there is a cat door to the rest of the world. She will go through that door. We don't know if she will come back in for shelter against the rain or the guaranteed food bowl. Most cats in her situation do. But not all of them. Sometimes after a year these cats decide not only are they happy for sanctuary but legit welcome a cuddle. Sometimes they pop back in every few days until they eventually decide that they don't want to come back. But regardless they will live life on their terms of their own free will.

Pizza is stupid cheap to make at home. Domino's is currently offering Minecraft pizzas that are less than twice the size for more than twice the cost. But making it at home means no grease soaked collectable box.

Cost per person before toppings: $2.77 It is very hard to fit even a dollar worth of toppings on a pizza.
