First, please welcome back Kalyn's Kitchen! Don't know how that lovely blog slipped away from my list of BLOGS I LOVE, but she's back...with "Happy Cooking and Eating--Real Food, Real Cooking, Real Results!" Good stuff!!
And welcome to Gaming Your Finances! I saw this on Twitter this morning in a comment on a Mother Jones article about Trader Joe's. The comment said something about a monthly challenge: setting your food budget at $25 a week! and the kind twitterperson added a link to this site. I must say the idea is a little better than the blog post, but there also were LINKS in that, one of which had a recipe for PB & J oatmeal, which inspired a comment by Kalyn (yes, it WAS her!). She was saying "I love peanut butter and oatmeal" etc. Well, there could be worse things than peanut butter & jelly oatmeal, but I'm verra curious!! Maybe I can eat this for supper instead of hot dogs. (Please don't mind me. I am a true believer in eating healthy, but I make exception for hot dogs--the worst of the worst (wurst??). Where else can you, when you are STARVING, get an approximation of a meal for $2 in this town except from a hot dog cart? And if I walk another half block, it'll be $1.75!!
And so on....
I don't care how hungry I am, I still HATE hotdogs. But luckily for me, I have never been hungry enough to know how hungry I would have to be to consider eating one.
ReplyDeleteHate hot dogs? well...you've led a charmed life!!
ReplyDeleteI had a hot dog at a neighbor's barbecue the other day and was surprised at how good it was with mustard and relish. First one I'd had in years.
ReplyDeleteIf you get 'em right off the grill, they're fabulous!
