Being broke

SUCKS! So bad. I lost my job when I went to my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary in oregon. My boss "forgot" to put in for my paid time off... so I was a no call no show for ten days... Anyway so now I'm looking for a new job and it's been a little bit of a battle. Seems like no where is hiring in salt lake right now... But does any one have any tips on like eating cheap? Marty is in wyoming and will be for the next two weeks. He left me with fourty dollars which was pretty much all he had. I had to get gas and I bought some milk and cereal, I also had to get dog food. So I have been eating milk and cereal for the past couple days... But there is some rice in my cupboard, pretty much thats it. Does any one know any ways to like spice up a rice dish? ha ha
