Eating On The Cheap...


I'm totally addicted to W. Hoddington Carter’s Extreme Frugality series on gourmet.com. I woke up at 5:30 this morning and read every. single. one. I think that detox is giving me super human energy... Seriously.

Carter's focus isn't on organic or local food, rather his goal is to feed his family of six good food, while spending as little money as possible. Their progress has been fascinating (and funny.) It's a must read.

Happy weekend...only three more days before I reunite with cheese!

  7. Thank you for turning me on to Carter's series. I brought myself up to speed last week and thoroughly enjoyed every article. I can't say I'm ready to cut back to that degree, but it did prompt me to look up homemade laundry detergent recipes. Getting there ...
