Bursitis has completely stopped me from using my left arm. I was trying to think about what could be cooked with just one arm.
This is where pantry clean out met up with my upcoming Sunday edition Heathcliff edit. I can cook spam with just one arm.
The only scratch made element in this is some mustard seed caviar I made a while back. I put some of it in the spice blender to cream it up a little. It went excellent with this otherwise depression causing meal.
Cost per person: $4
It is very expensive to cook from completely prepackaged foods.



My first thought: how’d you open the cans? But I guess you must have an electric can opener.
I can’t stand auto can openers. They take up space and break.
I have a very ergonomic OXO manual that is easy to do with just one hand.
But I did ask my wife “why didn’t we buy cans with pull tags!” Her “because we buy whatever is cheap.”
With pull tabs you’d still need to hold the can down anyway.
The SPAM can had a pull tab. I was able to pull it with leverage and just the one hand.
