“Spaghetti Days” is a term that refers (sometimes wistfully) back to the days before a person becomes successful. For example, “back in my spaghetti days, I used to eat a lot of ramen noodles.” The term, of course, refers to the relatively cheap nature of making pasta at home. (A handful of spaghetti and a bit of Ragu and you’ve got dinner!)

I thought it might be nice to have a “Spaghetti Days” section on this blog, as a place to share spaghetti days survival tips. For example, these tips might include ideas on saving money and what to do when you’ve reached the end of the week and the money won’t be coming in until next week.

Just for fun, I may also share some recipes for “poor people food.” Hey, some of it is not as bad as you think.
