cries, a lot.

Sorry. I keep telling people the allergy meds have stolen my brain. You should have reminded me.

cries more.

I'm not on facebook. Bitch must have stolen my name.

Nilly reminded me that my five-year Buffista-versary is coming up soon. I still eat Ramen, sometimes. These two things aren't really connected. Fred Pete, sorry to hear about Teddy.

My favorite all-purpose food, which turns out to be a cheap food in terms of servings per $, is bulgur. When you cook it, it becomes 3 times the size that it is dry, it's filling, high fiber, high protein, and you can use it as a substitute for just about everything. Rice, couscous, barley -- even oatmeal (though I don't like it as a morning food).

I can never find bulgur, even in the health food stores. I've looked in every aisle, under every name, but I only ever see it as part of a boxed tabouleh mix (ew) or mixed with other grains in health-food hot cereal mixes. (So on the rare occasion I do find some plain by itself, I stock up. But I never see it twice in the same place.)

Butter/margarine on sale would last forever, and water substituted nicely for milk.

As does beer (for the milk, I mean). It gives the mac and cheese a Welsh Rarebit-y flavor.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But I never see it twice in the same place.

Bulgur is as free as a bird now. And this bird you cannot change.

Jess,

Do you not shop at Sahadi's? What kind of Brooklynite are you?

Was anybody else stunned to look up and see that wasn't Sean? It just seemed such a Seanish recipe.

Frank & Sean should have a cooking show!

Ooh, what a great idea!

They never have it either! They have every other kind of grain, but I can never find bulgur.

Um, they have three different sizes in the bulk bins and I think they even have it in the pre-packaged containers now.
