always looking for cheap food options, i've taken a page from America's pioneering ancestors who had to make do with what little they had. here i've concocted a potato stew flavored with salt pork. (maybe i'm just watching too much of Frontier House)
2 slices of bacon (er, salt pork is a little bit tooo unhealthy.. it's more fat than pork!) chopped up into a cold pot. heated on medium until the the fat started to melt all liquidly from the bacon. took 5 smallish-medium potatoes, sliced them up into fries as thick as my thumb, and threw those in the pot along with whatever veggie i had at hand. this time, it was cubes of a zucchini. stirred it around a bit, then added some packaged veggie stock (stockpiled from the Days of Lost Wisdom) and water in a 3:1 ratio, enough to cover an inch in the bottom of the pot, at least. put a tiny sprinkle of chili and ~1 tbsp of vinegar for flavoring. After boiling, cover pot and simmer on low for 20-30 mins (or until the taters get cooked). usually tastes better if allowed to sit a while before eating or reheated.
note to the brain - yes, sausages too

Hey CSB - About the third time through here...I noticed the vitamins.....to make sure you get all your nutrients, right? ;o)
Yup Kirk-san, don't want scurvy or ricketts. Maybe one day I'll see how long i can live on a diet of nothing but oatmeal and vitamins. Vitamins usually don't have protein though, so maybe i'll find the recipe for "VitaMeataVegamin".
Am optimistic this page is a suitable area to write this... I primarily wanted to just let everybody inside the forum who lives in Oz know about a magnificent top of the range audio visual equipment internet business called Ordio. I found them somewhat by mistake when I was scouring the web for [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]wireless headphones[/url] and it just so happened that these guys had the most competitive prices in the market. Not only that but they are extraordinarily courteous and even followed up on my transaction to make certain I was still satisfied and content. They actually buy out larger inventories of electronics so that they can really break the price down. Most certainly stop by if you're browsing for some home electronics.
