Had a stubborn injector on a 6.7 Powerstroke that just would not budge

The truck came in last week with a bad miss, and number 3 injector was stuck tight. I tried the normal puller, then heat, then more pulling force, but it was not moving. Out of ideas, I grabbed a can of brake cleaner and sprayed it around the injector base to clean off any built up carbon. After letting it sit for about ten minutes, I gave the puller another crank and it came out smooth as butter. I think the cleaner got into the tiny space and broke up the carbon lock. Has anyone else had luck with this trick on other engines?

Remember when a bag of potatoes could feed you for a week?

Back in 2012, my car broke down and I had exactly $17 for food until payday. I bought a 10lb bag of russets, a stick of butter, and a head of cabbage, and ate baked potatoes with fried cabbage for six days straight. What's your go-to 'broke week' meal that actually tastes good?
