When it’s a regular weeknight, how much do you usually spend per person on dinner at home? I’m curious where most people land and what that buys you. What’s your number, and what’s on the plate for that price?

I made white rice today while I was having my lunch. I searched in the freezer and as I remembered, there were some shrimp left. Shrimp are expensive here, even the smaller ones, so that when I buy some frozen I make them last.

Today, Leticia and I checked what was in the fridge. She kneeled down and gave the food to me who placed it on the counter.
It was what I call a comando work. I cannot kneel down but I can see what to do with each found treasure....
