It would be a real struggle until your husband starts getting a paycheck. I highly recommend he find a job before you all move here.

Couples making 65k a year in NJ qualify to get affordable housing but that's only for US citizens. I think they'd also qualify for food assistance but I'm not positive about that.

I can't help you with your current situation but when I had oil heat years ago, I bought two oil filled electric radiators and they saved me a ton of money. I rented an 800 square foot shack house, it only had three rooms and a bathroom, so if your place is bigger you might need more than two radiators

Edit, oh wait, I CAN help. You can put diesel in there. Get like ten gallons or so for hot water, get the radiators for heat. Leave your cabinets open so the heat can get to your pipes

Oh honey, it's how they make pizza sauce in most NJ pizza places, just ask your local place what's in the sauce

> This is the kinda stuff that makes me not want to eat other people's home cooking.

You were not invited to eat my cooking. But if you want you can come over and I'll make a nice vegan/vegetarian meal for you, as long as you drop the shit attitude assuming I'm some sort of asshole who would feed animal products to someone who doesn't eat them, because it's unnecessary.

Maybe some grilled veggies on fresh baked bread (no eggs in the bread) or I make a mean golden curry stir fry with potatoes, onions celery and carrots

I have never seen or heard of this stuff. Look, pizza sauce is really easy, you add whatever veggies and herbs you want, the secret is adding a bit of chicken stock

Personally I really like an oniony sauce so I sautee up a whole yellow onion, and a couple of garlic cloves (diced and sliced, respectively). Open a can (28oz) of peeled plum tomatoes and puree it either with a blender or a stick blender thingy ( it's too early to remember the name) and dump it into a pot with the sauteed stuff and a splash of chicken stock Add your herbs now if they're dried or simmer for at least 30 minutes, the longer the better you all know this. Then add your fresh herbs if you're using fresh.

You might be asking "no sugar" and that's correct no sugar, you might wanna add it but I hate sugar in any tomato sauce, it's not good

Came home, found his gf dead, tried to revive her but couldn't, put her on the bed for two weeks and then into a trash bag and in the closet until she was found by the landlord.

I ain't buying it who the fuck finds someone dead in their house, who they presumably loved and doesn't call 911? Then lets the body rot for two weeks and throws it in a trash bag?
