Fascinating choice of perspective by the painter. So much detail on the ground, but the painting is dominated by a sky that isn't doing anything crazy. But somehow it all works. Time to find more from this artist. Thanks for posting!
Now Putin is sending a rescue team to look for Raisi's corpse. A lot can happen in 2 months.
Judging by the eyes, you must've been driving VERY fast!
Nice. I think I saw her on OnlyFans.
Just dropping in to thank everyone for the ideas, encouragement etc, and a bit of an update.
I bought some onions and added them to my edible-but-not-very-tasty rice, and fried them together, and it tastes a million times better. I have pasta and tuna as backups, and will keep referring back to this thread every time I shop. The positivity in the thread also got me to clean my fridge, which was absolutely filthy (I don't even know how it got like that) to mark the beginning of new kitchen habits. The fridge is still depressingly bare, but it's clean and that makes it less depressing haha. It's nice having more bench space where the microwave was... it almost looks like a kitchen now.
Thanks again! 👍
I think I'll use stock cubes for now. Actually I bought some yesterday. Thanks for the info.
Yes I get fruit from trees in the neighborhood when I can. When it's fruit season, it saves quite a bit of money.
The ones here don't accept electrical appliances, because they're not able to vouch for their safety (for example, if it spazzes out like my microwave did).
I've been eating a lot of sausages lately too, they're the cheapest source of (reasonably decent) meat I can find. Sometimes I braise sausages in a tin of tomatoes, and sprinkle with basil and curry powder. It's a really satisfying meal for how cheap it is. But it's always good to have ideas on how to change it up.
I agree. I used one for the microwave, but I think saucepan on stove (or hob) is just as easy as a rice cooker. But I'm no authority on the subject.
Ooh broccoli mac and cheese! Capsicum and onion would work too, maybe. Cheers!
Yes I have an electric kettle. That's a good point about super basic things when you're too tired. My shopping list grows ever bigger! Cheers!
I use white rice. I don't like rice that tastes perfume-y.
Stove, saucepan, frypan, can opener, cutlery, crockery. And several microwavable containers.
I'll pass on the old shoe idea 😂 I know what you mean. It's hard to screw up a slow cooker stew. I don't use any of those sites but I'll have a little sniff around and see what I can find.
I've been adding margarine and yes, butter would be much better. Butter chicken curry! 😲
Hello.
My microwave died in spectacular fashion today. It was the lifeblood of my kitchen. I've had it so long I've forgotten how to cook without one. And I can't afford to buy a new one. I was going to post in eatcheapandhealthy but that place looks as dead as my microwave. I don't know what I'm going to do.
Jamie Oliver often went on about cheap recipes... that required 30 ingredients and a bunch of equipment I don't have. These are not helpful. I need recipes that are cheap to shop for, cheap on electricity usage, easy to prepare with limited equipment, and it would be a bonus if they are healthy and tasty. I know I'm being picky, but I don't have much to work with.
I figured this would be the community to ask because to cook well, you need to know stuff that a bad cook wouldn't know. I hope I can get a few useful ideas. Thanks.
Hello.
I always used to associate this song with Knock on Wood by Eddie Floyd, because it has a similar vibe (both are great songs). But for the life of me, I just can't remember the title, artist, lyrics... barely anything from this song.
I remember it had a male vocalist, it was in E (for you music theory nerds out there), had a very prominent main riff, and I'm pretty sure it's from the 60s. It's an R&B/soul type thing of the era, but almost like a precursor of modern rock too. That's all I remember.
I would really appreciate it if someone knows it. It's driving me nuts not knowing!
