RE: Cook with Us #29: Budget Meal or How To Live on a $1.40/Meal
I really wanted everyone to struggle a bit with this one and then come up with a creative solution. That's exactly what you did! Great dish! The chicken looks so succulent and I love the polenta fries. There is nothing better than fresh lettuce from the garden.
So glad that you have your knife now! Since it is a carbon steel blade remember to keep it dry. After each task that you complete wash it off and then dry it with a towel. These knives require a bit more care than a stainless steel blade. The link below has all the info that you need to care for the knife. https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-care-for-an-opinel-carbon-steel-knife-229504
Thanks for sharing your budget meal with us!
Thank you for the link @chefsteve. Docsmith sent me a couple of links during the week that are helpful as well. The budget meal was indeed a really good challenge. If we remove the garden and pantry this is a quasi impossible challenge in the western world. Most things are so expensive that you have to really cast your brain back to the 80’s to remember what 10 or 50 cents would get you. In Poland we could literally buy 1 egg or x ml of oil if needed. Gone are these days everything is in bulk now. Thus our inability to really budget things out properly.
