Cheap chow by SignyM

I'm confused...Is this a thread about dieting, being a cheapass, or survivalist cuisine? 'Cause those are three totally separate topics, man...

Why can't it be all three?

'Cause I said so, now go to your room, missy!

*sigh* Sorry...

Whoa, god, I can't wait for summer break to END!!

I love my child, I LOVE my child, I love MY child, I love my CHILD!

Also, because all three topics require condensed versions of my Mommy enclopaedic knowledge, and I'm too tired for all three, so pick one and stick to it!

Sorry, no missy here. Unless you'd like to speak to my wife, who's technically a missus, not a missy.

I think it was DreamTrove who first postulated that there probably aren't more than about six actual people on this site in total. He might not be that far wrong...

As for me, I'm just me. And The Spelling Fairy™; that one's mine. It was an attempt to bring an inside joke from the Honda tuner-world over here, but I failed to realize that there aren't people here who were also there... :)

Hmm, on some of these threads it says times read-like 664 times? That'd be an awful lot of times read even for 6 people with really, really bad OCD!

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Get your kid to make some.

It's survivalist fare!

It's money management!

It's lowering cholesterol and managing diabetes!

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE....!

It's a summer project!

It's an education!

It's a way of reducing carbon footprint!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE....!

It's just something I cooked up and found that even tho I get hypoglycemic and am allergic to wheat, I can eat this (if I use oats and not barley).

Any favorite cheap chow recipes you care to share?

LOL....sure Kwicko you are no missy

That all of a sudden you have a wife is fucking hilarious. You must think we were born yesterday. Although you gays do want to call your unions...marriage. Maybe you do call your man-hole coverer a wife...who knows. I'm putting the odds around 1274 to 1 that you are...A) a rump ranger and B)you have a wife. You have already made it perfectly clear that you look like larry bird, So I am fairly certain you can't get any women.

Actually, I think you've pegged it, only your description covers some who are BOTH. There are a few sane people left, you can talk to us if you can stand the static.

As to times read, I know we have some lurkers who rarely post; I imagine there are those who never do. There's also all the other people on the FFF site, some of whom may pop in to see what's happening but have absolutely NO intention of ever dipping a toe in here! The water's not just warm...

I love my child I love my child I love my child...keep it up!

What's fucking hilarious is that you think I just suddenly have a wife. It wasn't exactly sudden; we've been married for over twenty years now. Just think - we were married six years before you were born! I've also mentioned her pretty much since I first joined this site 5 years ago.

By the way, Larry Bird has been married twice; apparently he can get women, too.

Once again you prove that the short attention span of little boys lets many details escape your notice.

LOL...man, you are some piece of gay work. You don't have Larry Bird's money just his bad looks. You are not married, at least not to a woman, and you have NEVER mentioned her before. Tell your lies to someone else....Oh, and you are gay......Well, it's true....

To tell the truth, Frem, my kid is great, really... (aside from this up & coming grumpy attitude of late)It's just that I'm all she's got and at this point I've exhaused every possible means of entertainment. Resorted to gorking out in front of TV today, doesn't help I've a rather persistant case of poison sumpthin'or other and really, really not likin' sweat...

To Kaneman...*sigh* hon, do you realize that if this were a social situation you'd be the guy runnin' in on a nice conversation and wankering himself and then hauled off to some institution somewhere? You lost perspective about 700 rants ago, if you ever had it...I don't care who you hate, but really, arguing gayness is so... elementary school level. I'm pretty sure you are already a miserable person to come here and say such things, so I won't bother wishing karmic justice upon you.

To SIG, My gran has tons of recipes for a friend who has Celiac, and has tried to get me to eat almond flour cookies and others, but I just can't go there...
Some country things I like to cook are... sliced and fried zuccini's, squash pie(guess that could be good with almond flour crust?) sliced cucumber in vinegar, salmon patties (better and cheaper made with mackrel) any veggies steamed with oil and coated in parmesan, and I make the best ham'n cheese baked in fresh hot bread this side of Canada

Also made a sweet potato cheesecake in a gingerbread crust with rum sauce last month, it was pretty good...

To Niki, Eleven days... I'm holdin'- 'till she goes back!

Maple syrup? You Americans have strange taste buds.

Kaneman's preoccupation with Mike's supposed sexuality is quite telling. Or would be if in fact Kaneman/River6213 was a guy.

Sounds a lot like the dhal that I make - onions and garlic sauted in oil, add diced zucchini, mushrooms, lentils, vegie stock, curry paste of your choice and coconut milk and coriander leaves to finish - serve with basmati rice.
