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.

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!

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.
Yup, Fattouch, that's the place with the good crack.
Damn, I'm hungry now. We have Zankou here in LA, and it does have addictive garlic paste, but although good it's not the same.
More damn--someone just walked by wafting noxious perfumes. I need a walk and maybe some tea.
Google overhauls main search page:
Google is overhauling its search system so it returns "universal" results not just those from webpages.
The change means users will also get results from news sites, blogs, video services and other relevant places.
Yeah, because blogs? Totally not web pages. Has Google been assuming I didn't want blog results this whole time? I want everything.
