Day 1 Failures, Successes & Menu –Live Below The Line

Day 1 Failures, Successes & Menu –Live Below The Line

I’m hungry. I woke up hungry. I dreamt about being hungry.  It’s not as if I didn’t eat well. I just didn’t eat much.   Food costs for day 1 = $1.78 or 89¢ per person. Leaving us with $14 for the next 4 days.  In the real world this would mean we had $15.72 left but for this challenge we’ve committed to only eating $1.75 worth per day so that extra $1.72 worth of food is unavailable to us. Successes Yesterday I got my first donation- $40. Thank you Pat for your generosity! You can support me too by donating…

Longo’s Meets CheapEats: A Day Of Longo’s Meals

Longo’s Meets CheapEats: A Day Of Longo’s Meals

As Longo’s Ambassador and Chief CheapEater, I figured it was my duty to try out their prepared foods, especially since their current marketing is promoting Take it – Make it – Learn it (ready-to-eat, ready-to-cook, and how to cook).  So I recruited my partner-in-CheapEats Gerry and we spent a day at Longo’s eating every meal – breakfast, lunch and dinner – from their kitchens.   The ready-to-eat meals Longo’s prepares are made using the same ingredients they sell in the store, including the Taste Ontario products and produce, so it seemed to be a fun way to check out what they’d…

I’m Super…

I’m Super…

I'm posting quickly random bits about my day to address those concerned that I've been abducted by aliens. (You know who you are.) For those of you who called, or emailed, or just thought about it.. yes, you got it right, today is my b'day.  My 42nd b'day in fact.  And oddly enough I barely slept last night.  Not due to excitement really… just … well… I'm not sure what. But I watched a LOT of late night tv and it sucked.  So when Ger relocated me to bed this morning at 8am, I stayed there.  Until 12.  (There are…

A Day At The Galleria

A Day At The Galleria

So Venus has already blogged about our Sunday at the Galleria leaving me feeling a little guilty for not getting on this sooner.  But then again, I don’t always share everything I do with you guys.Honest. I do stuff I don’t blog about. Like installing software. Lying about. Checking voice mail. Obsessing about my hair. Grocery shopping. Pondering conspiracies. Riding the bus. Dancing in the snow. Eating lunch. Cab rides. Watching tv. But back to the topic at hand.  Yes. I admit it.  I dragged yet another friend with a vehicle up to the Galleria to giggle at the rice…

Vox Hunt: Candid

Me Too As you can see, my friends have started wondering why I don't take photos of them.  Perhaps the start of a new series?  I'm certainly happy to photograph them… they just keep moving!  My camera hates that. Check out M.Tinto's new specs! Show us a candid photo. –Submitted by dearbarbz.

#31 – Grilled Chicken, Spring Roll on Vermicelli Lunch @ Ginger 2 – CheapEats Toronto pg. 74 where GT says: "Space to spread out, booths and… the huge mural of lotuses on the main wall of the dining areas.  I am particularly fond of the Grilled Pork Chop and Coconut Shrimp – the best coconut shrimp I have ever had in this price range."

Today’s Lunch: Jerk Chicken Sandwich

Jerk Chicken Sandwich Lunch @ The Real Jerk – CheapEats Toronto pg. 123 where KK says: "This reggae infused spot really makes you feel like you are in Jamaica… The menu is incredibly diverse, offering something for everyone… Of course you can get Roti ($5-7.50) – it wouldn't be Toronto's most famous Jamaican restaurant without those on offer."

What Do You Mean No One Cares What I Had For Lunch?

What Do You Mean No One Cares What I Had For Lunch?

Recently I discovered a new book by Maggie Mason entitled No One Cares What You Had for Lunch. I plunked down the money eager to see why, exactly, no one cares what I had for lunch.  I mean, people buy my book specifically to find out what I had for lunch so I was intrigued by why Maggie would say so cavalierly that no one cared. Rather than going through the margin-eating online bookstores, I decided to order it directly from Maggie’s Mighty Girl.  I’m always happy to give the author a bigger slice of the pie.  So I happily…
