03.23.09Cheap Ass Monday: The nostalgia, she is filling.To be upfront: The National Egg Council did not pay me to make this dinner or write this post. But if anyone from the National Egg Council is reading and would like to pay me retroactively, I would be open to that. Just getting that out there. Keep going...

03.09.09Cheap Ass Monday: Ceci n’est pas CioppinoIs there a more relaxing Monday night than sitting splayed on the couch with a camphor-and-menthol covered leg wrapped in plastic wrap and sitting on a heating pad, while you precariously balance a marginally functional 2001 laptop on a copy of Watchmen* on your other leg? I submit that there is not, especially since I don't watch Heros.** I'm doing it though, because (1) the leg thing actually feels really good once you get over the plastic wrap-weirdness and (2) the foodblogosphere must know about this quick, easy and cheap pasta and fish with spicy, garlicky, fennel-y tomato ...

03.02.09Cheap Ass Hobo Monday: Git on the soup lineI know, I know, it's very nondescript. Look, I didn't have any fucking chives, okay? Get off my back. I think I've finally found the source of all my mental health woes: Food-related blog events. Who knows how many people have been rendered incapacitated by the Daring Bakers or Tuesdays With Dorie? We'll never know, because they will never tell their stoic tales of woe because food blog events are FUN, goddamnit, and no one wants to hear about the emotional pain they can cause. FUN, d'ya hear me? Keep going... Related posts:May 2009 Cheap Ass Hobo Monday: ...

02.09.09Cheap Ass Monday: Stop me, oh-ho-oh, stop me.Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before.* Pasta e lenticchie mediorientale. That is, pasta and lentils, a classic Neapolitan dish, with a Middle Eastern twist. As far as I can recall, unlike last week, I have not already written this post before. Go me! Short-term memory rules! *Nothing's changed; I still love you, oh I still love you. Only slightly, only slightly less than I used to.** **Not YOU. You, I still love exactly the same. Keep going...

12.19.08Thursday Night Smackdown: That’s a big nooderMan, I cannot WAIT for that new Howie Mandel Candid Camera-Punk'd hybrid show, can you? It is going to be off the fucking hook. Whoa, sorry! Where did that come from? TV rots your brains, kids. Also, stay away from crack. A while ago I put up a little poll asking you, my trustworthy readers, to vote on what new cookbook I should buy with my hard-earned Amazon kickbacks referral fees. Hot Sour Salty Sweet initially looked like it was going to sweep, but The Splendid Table made a last minute surge to tie things up, leaving me with the ...

11.10.08Cheap Ass Monday: Roughage! Get your roughage here!I know, the post title isn't very exciting or funny or clever. Don't blame me, blame the three and a half hour meeting I had this afternoon. Don't we go to work at non-profits so we don't have to sit through three and a half hour meetings? You pay me less, I wear comfy shoes to work and don't deal with meetings; that is the deal, no? Also this particular meeting was three and a half hours, did I mention that? It is, therefore, not surprising that when I got home I wanted something quick, warm ...

10.27.08Cheap Ass Monday: My Little Buttercup Has the Sweetest SmileWhen you think about it, there's nothing really inventive or groundbreaking about basing a cheap meal around pasta. I mean, that's kinda the point of it, right? Somehow, though, making the pasta yourself tarts it up enough so that you don't feel like a total toolbox saying, "Hey, internet, did it ever occur to you that PASTA is an easy and economical meal? I know! Go figure!" Keep going... Related posts:You should eat a little something. You look skinny.

07.28.08Cheap Ass Mondays: Italian Beach PastaI accidentally took all of these pictures with my camera set on "foliage." Sorry. Tonight's dinner is a total throwback to my childhood, and has not been modified in any way from the way my mom used to make it. It's an odd dish, I don't really know its origins and I don't really expect anyone to believe that it's good, but it's cheap, easy, tasty and makes fantastic leftovers. May I present to you: spaghetti pie. Yes, spaghetti pie, that's what I said. Spaghetti + Pie. Spaghetti pie. Keep going... Related posts:Cheap Ass Monday: Getting Somewhat ...

06.30.08Cheap Ass Monday: Down by the BoardwalkNot actually on, near, under, or down by a boardwalk. I'm going to tell you right now: this post? Is not really funny. Feel free to leave if that's a problem, and we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming later this week. As you can imagine, it's been a bit of a rough weekend; I haven't really felt like cooking, let alone photographing and describing my meals in detail. Funerals and their associated activities are always kinda rough, and I'm not nearly far enough in the mourning process for my own father not to have all that shit get dredged up, ...
