Because I ate leftovers at work instead of going out today. YAY ME. I know Ramit would poo-poo this as a little choice, or at least, I think he would, but it's a big struggle for me. Little budget means $5/day is a big deal. And lunches out are way more like $10/day, let's be real.
I also think you should know that this tomato sauce recipe on Smitten Kitchen is TO DIE FOR. Amen.
Thanks for linking to that tomato sauce, I am absolutely drooling over it right now. That should cure my desire to eat out today - simple delicious pasta!
ReplyDeleteHave you made that sauce yet? Have you? It has to be the world's easiest recipe, and I made it for a potluck and it got ooohs and aaahs.
ReplyDeleteEating leftovers is no small choice. After you've done all you can with the big fixed expenses, you turn your attention to the big variable expenses. I'd let my food budget creep up to over $700 a month. For one person. Surely, that money could be put to better use. I say good for you and your leftovers. I want a cookie too and a pint of strawberry cheesecake Ben & Jerry's. Oooh, and bacon.
ReplyDeleteI did it! I did! And check out my pretty picture. I had to share the recipe and linked you.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm bacon.
