I think I know you. You're more aware, than ever, of the importance of health, in terms of what you eat. Because you watch "Top Chef," "The Next Food Network Star" and all the other foodie porn, you know all about foams and a jus and essences and amuse bouches. Unfortunately, all of that knowledge, which costs money to implement, is available during a recession. So you're amusing yourself with Top Ramen and mints you took from the bowl at your doctor's office, you want to know how to approximate something really delicious...
...and really cheap.
So in lieu of going into debt at Whole Foods or resigning yourself to culinary crappiness, you, you intrepid eater, you, have used your hunger, creativity and whatever food you have left in your cupboards and fridge after you ate all the good, easy to prepare food. And you are going to create art. Or at least as close to art as you can get with eggs that expire tomorrow, instant brown rice and some hummus.
You are a Kitchen MacGyver. You could make dinner out of anything. And I want to hear of your brilliance.
Use this space to tell me the best meal you ever made from the scraps you have left. Or to ask other people what to make with what you have. Or post pictures of the fruit of your exceptional cunning.
