Very very very good.

Maybe these people could get food handling licenses, and then redfish 3:13 wouldn't need to be phobic anymore!

Best Party Dessert on a Budget?

Okay I know no one is looking at this, but I thought of the cheapest and most fun dish.

Carmel corn!
1lb of popcorn is 99 cents. Popcorn has a ratio of 40-1. So lets say you can make 20 cups of popcorn with a quarter of the bag. Next you will need sugar 2 cups approx, salt, and baking soda, well you can look up the recipe. Its so cheap!

Best Party Dessert on a Budget?

Processed foods (oreos, really not that cheap either ) and pudding mixes freak me out a little.

Baked apples, granny smith 75 cents a pound!. Cut in half and top with cinnamon, sugar, butter. Bake in a water bath for 45-60 minutes at 350. Top with ice cream if budget affords.

My Week Without Corn

Remember when "corn-fed" was a warm comforting hearty thing to say about tall mid-western childeren? Eek. P.S. there are always worms in my farm corn, more reasons to avoid!

Meat Lite: Chickpea, Chicken, and Tabouli Salad

I would like to advocate lots and lots of curly parsley in tabouli. Lots of parsley = classic tabouli, no matter what else you mix in. Middle Eastern recipes seem like the last to go down the "fusion" road, but I'm ready for that garlicy, & lemony avalanche!

Weekend Cook and Tell: Picnic

Ahh the cleverly disguised cocktail makes a (n adult) picnic a picnic. Sangria, spiked lemon or limeade, magarita mix in a cold thermos or juice bottle. I'm with the above who desire fried chicken! I have a sangria recipe I concocted just for picnic matters here:

On the Home Canning Trend

Canning is nerve-wracking the first few times. Remember the end of "Say Anything" when they are on the plane, waiting for the light to go BING, so Diane Court knows its safe? Every time I pull my jars out of the hot water I nervously wait for the lid to go PING so I know my jars are safe and sealed.

Money Saving Tips On Food

If I know I'm working late, or running errands after work I pack my dinner.

I buy spices in bulk at ethnic stores, and grind them as needed. They are cheaper up front, and store longer then conventional supermarket spice. Added bonus the flavor is way better.

I am a csa (community sponsored agriculture) member, and I am drowning in organic vegetables I get from a local farm. The costs break down to about $18 a week, and its more food than a single person can handle. Just Foods in NYC will help you find a CSA: http://www.justfood.org/csa/ or Local Harvest nationally: http://www.localharvest.org/
