Making Dinner for Today... and several other days

Lentil soup - yum! I love lentil soup - lentils are high in protein and a bag of them, dried, is amazingly cheap. I won't say how cheap until my brother has coughed up some info. Starting coughing, Aaron.

Buying veggies cheap has its drawbacks... I'd planned to snack on celery during the week, but this stuff is so bitter (old? stale? picked too soon?) I'm not sure I'm going to make it on celery. 

Just read where a CNN reporter is going to eat on what he'd get in food stamps, $176/month. Do you know what I could get for $176 a month?? Well, for starters, celery that doesn't taste gross.
