Tomorrow I'm going to do spanakopita, which is like $10 for the four of us. Tonight is salmon kedgeree, which is about half that. These slobs are just too lazy and dumb to learn how to cook and how to look for, and buy, good deals on food. I have ten packets of salmon in my pantry right now, 10 for $10. That's three or four dinners. I have six petite sirloins in my freezer, bought a dozen for $16. It is not hard to read the sale flyers or spend a little time getting to know the local stores and their prices; it is not hard to do a little advance planning and thinking to figure out how that leftover stew can be served three or four different ways or how that pot roast can turn into three meals instead of one (I like to take chunks of it, whip up a Yorkshire pudding batter, and cook individual puddings around the meat). Large can of good tomato puree, $1.50, and with $8 worth of meat it's enough for at least two meals. Figuring out how to buy and cook proper food is easy. Why the basics of normal life are so confusing to fats is much harder.
