I'd say people are consuming less meat across the board

Mrs. Axe and I catch a shitload of catfish, bluegill and crappie every year, and so we've just kept more than usual this past couple years and are eating a lot more fish. It costs zero because I trap and net our own bait and already own tens of thousands of dollars worth of fishing rods and tackle. My garage looks like a Bass Pro Shops aisle and I have a fully functional 300 gallon homemade, aerated livewell under the carport.

Seriously, my expensive fishing addiction has paid big dividends lately.

Ramen noodles.

Here's the perfect recipe for ramen:

1. Saute store-brand frozen Mexican vegetables in peanut oil
2. Add a small can of store-brand mushroom pieces and stems
3. Add one demicup of distilled water and simmer on low-to-medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
4. Add 1/2 packet of the ramen seasoning, plus pepper, cilantro, finely chopped onions, etc. for taste.
5. Cut off the heat and add crushed ramen noodles; allow the liquid to cook the noodles until soft; about 30 minutes.

Perfect meal done in less than one hour; it also helps to whip inflation now-- total cost of the meal is less than 3 bucks.

I know we used to grill steaks, chicken, and sausage every week but that has changed to every 2-3 weeks or so.

Wtf

I still grill multiple times a week. I’ll take a near empty checking account over a stomach with no meat in it.
