Here is an experiment that you can try the next time you are hungry:
Show up at that special neighbor's house with the following cheap and scanty ingredients:
And declare that you are making lunch for her.
Here's how you do it. For the rice, add the following to the rice and water (she will have all this stuff): 1 T garlic powder, 1 t turmeric, 1 T olive oil, 1 T salt. For the beans, sautee 1 onion (sliced), 2 cloves garlic (sliced), 3 T olive oil, 1 large jalapeno (seeded and sliced) until the onions become translucent. Then add two cans of black beans (undrained!) and 2 T honey and cook on low heat until the rice is done, about 30 mins. Add the juice of one lemon. Top with cheese and green salsa. Serve with delicious chips that you also didn't bring.
Of course, you didn't make dessert either. But you ate it. A lot of it.
Here is the recipe in the words of your host:
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1/4 c water
3/4 vegetable oil
2 eggs
I cup choc chips or m and ms
Directions:
preheat to 350
Combine all ingredients.
Pour batter into greased 9x13 pan
Bake for 20-30 min. May look goopy in middle, but that's because of the pudding!
Here is something else delicious:

After lunch, lie on the floor for a while to digest your food, until you have overstayed your (self-invited) welcome.
I moss you,
