What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?
I regularly bake sweet potatoes then add plain yogurt, salted peanuts, feta, nutritional yeast, and drown it in hot sauce. The dish has no name nor should it ever see the light of day. What goblin mode meals do you guys eat?

Yeah I definitely started relying on peanut proteins during my years of unemployment.
Try chopping up a green onion and throwing that in. White bit at the beginning of the boil and the green bits at the end. They're extremely cheap.
Green onions aren't cheap everywhere.
i only ever get green onions a few weeks after buying an onion that i didn't get around to cooking.
Well, I'm no expert, but I believe this is a bit different kind of green onions...
maybe? i'm quite sure you can use them in the same way though. garlic greens are good too. and depending where you live, you can forage good wild options too. my dad's back yard usually gets a good crop of 3 pointed leeks that i would harvest when i lived with him.
You're probably right. I have never personally seen them more expensive than like $1.25 for a half dozen.
Frugal tip: You can get a lot more life out of green onions by setting them in a jar of water. Trim what you need from the ends, and the plant will grow probably 3-4 times before you need to replace it.
Well I guess I'm trying this next time I buy green onions
In many places in North America field garlic (which is very similar to green onions) grows voraciously in people's yards in the Spring. Leave a small patch of yard unmowed and you'll have more than you know what to do with. Just be careful not to mistake it for death camas.
I've got gutter mint, but no volunteer garlic.
I have plans to eventually start a garden once I'm done tearing up the backyard.
