Kitchen Economics

I used to work a regular daily job too, as recently as a few years ago when my Dad made me office manager of his law firm.  But before that, I had to spend 5-6 days a week at the pizza joint, from 8 am until dinner rush was over.  Allah gave me some knowledge of cooking, so I didn't have to spend my earnings on eating out all the time, so I could spend the money on music instead.  Anyway, I would get half off the food at the restaurant, so I bought raw foods and kept them in my cooler.  Then I would cook my meals and pack them for lunch if necessary.  Nowadays, I still prefer to buy raw foods then process them into meals, plus now I also have vegetables growing in my yard.

I always plan every meal, and I try to keep it at 2 meals a day.  Save, save, save!  I make my own bread and sauces, and I always use the oldest food first.  Today the potatoes were the oldest food, so I made curry pups, which is bread stuffed with a hot curry stuffing.  Oh, I should have taken photos.  I had to make the stuffing first, and to do that I had to make hot chilli puree first, which I made from 160 grams of dried chilli peppers which I steamed last night.  I had marinara sauce and noodles planned for dinner, but my Dad gave me some take out food instead.  Shrimp croquettes in peanut sauce.  Oh, I should have taken a photo of that as well.  I'm extra spacey today.

Anyway, the Law of the Fridge: plan your meals around the oldest food in the cooler!
