Default Re: Guess who's coming to dinner challenge

Hum...I can't even phathom not using the pantry...I could make a wonderful meal just taking it from my pantry...let's see if i can guess the amounts.

Pork roast from the freezer
Spices, onions (garden), bell peppers (garden), Anaheim peppers (garden), garlic (garden), carrots, potatoes all wrapped in foil and slow cooked in the oven. I'll add extra water and make gravy with the drippings and sevre the veggies too.
5.00 for the roast? Maybe 1-2 for the potatoes

Fruit/jello/coolwhip mix, all ingrediants from the freezer/garden...maybe $2

Fresh homemade rolls or bread...less than a dollar maybe two if I do the fancy bad with the parmasen cheese.

Desert could be.....pie, cookies, brownies, any of them would cost under a dollar

So there, but I don't have exact prices sorry...I don't shop that way.

To drink, water, or koolaid if they can't deal with water...it's about the only thing I do drink...healthier that way.
