It’s not easy being a yogurt maker
Since I got a yogurt maker a few months ago, a large chunk of my weekends have been devoted to the making of yogurt.

I’ve lost track of what stage of grief I’m in…
…as I’ve been in mourning for my investment savings, and therefore a future of retirement meals of cat food and peanut butter, for quite a while now. Each time the market does another dizzying drop, the grieving process starts all over again.
My fiancee and I have become even more frugal (with what’s left going into [...]

The best food that will never catch on
I’m sick beyond belief of office fridge politics, which has stretched out for several weeks and has resulted in no fewer than five aging containers of spoiled milk (two never opened and badly swollen) getting tossed. I want to talk about what could be the perfect food, but since it’s French it will never fully [...]

Make Your Own F-in Lattes
I recently found out what a ghetto latte is – when I first heard the term, I thought it meant getting your lattes @a gas station. I prefer Sheetz over WaWa for gas station coffee, btw.
I don’t load up on half & half @the milk bar, but I do make my own fancy [...]

Women are omelets, men are fritattas
There is something about eggs that make people really picky about how they want them cooked. Since blogging means taking photos of stuff you eat, here is my omelet from a few days ago:
And this is my fiancee’s version with the same ingredients:

Greek yogurt. Damn.
I would like to think that I’m frugal when it comes to food – I make my own granola, salad dressing, and spice mixes. But when it comes to Greek yogurt, I get really picky. I appreciate the nonsweetness and the thickness of the Greek-style yogurt over the watery stuff of conventional grocery store-brand plain [...]

Links for my boring palate
A long time ago I was traveling in Brazil and, being a gringo and on my 1st trip to another country ever, I got sick. Luckily I was in Paraty, which @the time had one of the few Thai restaurants in the country. The guy who ran the restaurant told me that white food [...]

Make your own freaking breakfast – and just as fast
I get annoyed that things like lowfat yogurt and instant oatmeal are touted as “healthy”. Ok, they’re not Cap’n Crunch or steak & eggs, but those little yogurts and little packets of oatmeal have buttloads of sugar in them. In fact, some of those yogurts (and yogurt shakes) have almost 300 calories in a 6 [...]
Freaking Tasty lo-cal breakfast @work
Fortunately there is a Giant Food across the street from my office. By accident I discovered Canadian Bacon. I was going to go for some breakfast sausage but the CB had more bang (as in protein, less fat) than the sausage, plus it was a little cheaper. I mixed that in with my microwaved scrambled [...]
