cooking

Earlier, I discussed some of my own money saving tips and ideas. to help keep your bathroom clean, eco-friendly, and cheap. Let’s move on to the kitchen.

What if you could bake your favorite bread, cook up an awesome stir fry with rice, and make some apple-cobbler to die for without using any electricity, and without having to cook over a fire? That opportunity may be here, with the recent invention of a solar cooking device. An inventor in Hawaii has designed a solar stove/oven that could offer a solution to some global problems.

The impossible has happened.

Something that I never, ever thought would happened.

I HAVE BONDED WITH BARB.

Seriously. When I found out I'd be cooking with her, I thought "Fuck. Cooking AND the B-meister?? What have I done to deserve such punishment?" Especially when she said "I can't cook."

You’re in college. You’re busy. Your brain is working overtime. You are probably starving. And you are probably eating a lot of crap, because crap tends to be cheap. I’ve been there. Twice, in fact. This time around, I am refusing to live on ramen noodles!

I have been reading about the Slow Food Movement today. Slow food is best summed up in this little nutshell from Slow Food International:

"Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world."

Slow Food USA, the American subsidiary of the slow food movement, continues along the same lines.
