Menolly wrote:If you have freezer space, I recommend chicken leg quarters at 29 to 59 cents a pound when bought in the 10 lb. bag on sale. Split the quarters and use the drumsticks multiple ways: fried, grilled, smoked then glazed and broiled with teriyaki, etc.
The thighs can be used whole, skinned, skinned and deboned to be flattened in to cutlets which can then be substituted for boneless/skinless chicken breasts in recipes, boiled for stock along with the bones that were removed from others and then shredded for recipes that call for cooked chicken, etc.
I have found leg quarters to be one of the most frugal of meats when on an extremely limited budget.
YES. Yes and amen, sistah!
Don't forget dried beans! (though I don't usu like dealing with the prep so I often use canned even though they're more) And the 20lb bag of brown rice!
But I feel like preparation of such foods is a habit you work on over the long haul. Trying to cook with such preparation-intensive ingredients has sometimes seemed excruciating to me.

Shrimp cocktail.
And as for meat pie, the best kind contains at least some venison. The meat of kings!

OK - not right now but went out for a meal last night and as per usual ate and drank well beyond the plimsol line (as Shakespeare would have put it in Othello 'not wisely, but too well'). It's unlikely I'll eat again for a week. Mmmmm.... I wonder whats for dinner?

Plus vine-ripened tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, balsamico, cracked peppercorns, and black lava sea salt.
I only wish my phone's camera took more realistic color with the lighting I have.
Also, you can always
make your own mozzarella and
ricotta.

Oh, that is gorgeous!
Are those fresh figs added?

Yeah, fresh figs go well with caprese - so do apricots or prunes (or any other sweet fruit). Strawbwerries for example are absolutely awesome with balsamico so they would also be a nice treat here. You might also add some nice parma ham here.
And arugula (or rocket for you Brits and Aussies) also adds a lot to it.

Oh! Is that what rocket is!
I've had strawberries with balsamico, but am unsure if I would want them in a caprese. I'll have to give them a try one day and see.

A well-seasoned steak, pan seared.
Teriyaki noodles with french-cut green beans and coarse-chopped shallot, made in the pan in which the steak was seared.
Merlot!
(Vader, your post sets my old favorite, "Rocket Man", in a whole new light!)

Drooool. on several counts.. though I think it's a somewhat sad age we live in, where vine-ripened tomatoes are so impressive.
Whoaaaa... haen't looked at the links yet, but coolness. Have you done this?

I tried making my own mozzarella and ricotta a year or so ago. There's a thread about my adventure around here somewhere. I think it's the "cheese" thread. Also within that thread is a recipe Lyr -- er, Wyldwood or something like that, she changed her Watch name but I still just call her Lyr -- posted a recipe for cheese using vinegar, which I still have not tried.
