Big city Heathen stuck in a small town trying to please the Gods and eat on almost no budget. Cheap and yummy food, product reviews, recipes and crappy bento photos!
Well the move’s not going well, but we’re almost all settled in to the new place and are trying to get our home straightened out. It’s such a chore to deal with people using a kitchen you use when you know they don’t wash thei (read full article)
A simple recipe today for a fake Chashu Ramen you can make when you’ve got almost nothing in the house, like we do. It’s simple, it’s tasty and it goes a little something like this: 3 oz of uncooked ramen (for the love of Thor, not (read full article)
Well my camera’s not working, and even when it was I couldn’t figure out how to control the blasted thing which meant fuzzy pictures on a good day, badly lit ones on a bad. Half of the photos here are from a mobile phone, which was the on (read full article)
This recipe is for Tacos Valhalla, once again the photos are awful but I am trying to get a better camera so please bare with me! It’s basically a non-beef taco made of seasoned turkey meat with fresh, cold toppings to give it sort of a salad t (read full article)
I’ve been gone so long it’s starting to look like I never eat, which is not far from the truth lol. I’m so dead broke (and kind of far from anywhere but franchises) that it makes me wonder if I’ll ever have something decent to (read full article)
Well we’ve finally evaded my awful, horrible mother’s grasp (she wants us to live in KC but to never go anywhere – which annoys me to no end, since she should have no control over my life at this point, but I digress, lol.) and visi (read full article)
I know I haven’t posted a recipe in forever and ever, but this one is one I created on the fly (and suggest you not get too bogged down about measurments, either!). It’s for yummy sweet ginger citrus chicken stir fry, and it goes a little (read full article)
Okay, here’s the thing. Where I come from, Hy-Vee stores are awful, dirty and unfriendly places with high prices and shoddy or even spoiled merchandise and groceries. So, I was surprised when I moved out to Kansas City last month and found that (read full article)
Not a ton of time tonight, but I wanted to wish everyone a very happy new year! (read full article)
First bento photo in awhile, I’ve been super busy with the move and work. We’ve got ginger cinnamon shrimp stir fry with broccoli, peppers and carrots. A little pancake sandwich shaped like a gingerbread man, some holiday candies, rice a (read full article)
The Boy isn’t here right now (yay!) so we’re celebrating by trying out a cookie mix we got on sale for 90 cents at Hy-Vee. It’s an oatmeal, chocolate chip situation from Betty Crocker and it turned out sooo delish! If only we weren (read full article)
My birthday cake! I’m 30 years old today – granted, I had to spend my birthday cleaning and feeding The Boy (I hate him, lol), but I did get some adorable shoes from my mom’s fiance, which I’ll post photos of soon. Sorry abou (read full article)
I’m actually having a nice moment for once. Warm and fuzzy, even. I’m sitting here at my very own computer, listening to 1940s Christmas music (hate Christmas, love Christmas music) and sipping some delish but super cheap instant cappucci (read full article)
I’ve heard people gripe a LOT about Totino’s infamous “Party Pizza” and how inedible they are, or how greasy – how easy to burn. I disagree! Technically, these are from last month when we had bought some cheap Totino&# (read full article)
Well, I’m busy making breakfast for The Boy again, which is ritually two eggs, two full slice pieces of buttered toast, two strips of bacon and coffee. He’s NEVER out to the table on time, so his food is always cold and then he complains (read full article)
I’ve finally been shopping. No no, don’t get your hopes up, I’ve been shopping for The Boy. I’m trying to keep him fed the best I can but it’s getting hard, he doesn’t understand that he can’t eat until he pu (read full article)
Grrr argh! I wish I wasn’t dead broke (is that even the correct term?), and that we didn’t have The Boy to feed because the only rice we’ve been able to get ahold of that we can actually afford is this awful long grain, poorly mille (read full article)
Well, I forgot to post much about Laota’s birthday – partially because she wanted to ignore it. I don’t get her sometimes, but in this instance considering what we’ve had to go through and how big a letdown birthdays always ar (read full article)
It’s wrong to kill a child. I know this. In theory, I know this. But The Boy is driving me absolutely batty! I swear he hasn’t paid for one thing since he’s gotten here – two months, almost, and he’s eaten everything he (read full article)
Ack, so cool! Josh was nice enough to poke at me this morning and let me know about this offer, which is awesome by the way if you’re a tea drinker ( and I am, in a big way ) – Oregon Chai is giving away a free sample of their tea online, (read full article)
