just finished dinner. T-bone and butter/garlic fried shrimp potatoes and carrots. this is my one year anniversary of being laid off. man, do we ever need jobs around here. only thing available is minimum wage...
 
We had chili, made on the woodstove. Being laid off is really tough but thankfully many have been helped with the extended government help. Still many losing homes and that is really sad. I hope things pick up for you soon Dave.
 
Indian fry bread taco's!
 
Big pot of brown rice, canned corn, canned chilli beans, and spiced tomatoes/sauce. Maybe $0.25/serving. Very good.

Now Your talking! Cheep and GOOD..........
 
Southern style pork chops (very inexpensive - 1.49lb) lightly brown w/ a little olive oil in the cast iron dutch oven, not too hot or too long - then pile on top onions, carrots, and potatoes- if small they can be done whole but usually I have medium sized and slice the potato and onion in half. Cook at ~300 for a couple hours, covered - meat will be fall off the bone tender. Cheap, delicious, easy - whats not to like!!

Huge crock of french onion soup going two days now, tonight's the night. That and bacon pannini's made with fresh sour dough (year old starter is finally turning out great bread!). Just missing the garden picked tomatoes really bad!
 
Oh yeah, Pasties! Just did a bunch for the freezer a couple weeks back, best use of a rutabaga I know of. Yum!

Yup. I remember having them in SW Wisconsin some yrs back while on holiday.Found in a few other US spots as well.The immigrant lead & zinc miners from Cornwall,England & Wales who settled there brought the recipes over with them.Damn good if you ask me.Basically a turnover/pastry- but instead of fruit its got beef,sometimes onion,cabbage,or turnips with a bit o' gravy inside.One of these days I'll attempt to try my luck at making them,does anyone know if ready to bake pie crusts would work?
