When the man comes around

As anyone who reads this blog on a regular basis (J and ummm nobody else I guess) I have changed the name, that’s because I really never had a good idea for a name, and even this one is a work in progress. Really the reason that I am doing this blog is because I was once told that I have lived an interesting life and I know way too many shortcuts and tips for someone my age. I loved that I was being flattered; I think it was because they found my cooking to be outstanding and they wanted to be invited back next week to see what I would create that time. That is the thing with my cooking, no matter what I make, I guarantee you it will never taste like that again (yes even your pasta J). I will experiment on it till the death of me. Back to the topic the person told me that I should write a book or a blog that I make into a book down the road with suggestions on things I know and that can help those who don’t know, and I do not wish to be a douche but way too many of you out there do not know that you could be living a life far beyond your financial means (and no I do not mean that you can spend more money, but rather spend less and live far better).

I guess that this is my manifesto, I will tell you my ‘secrets’ to living far better then you currently are on a smaller budget then you are currently. Yes it is totally pretentious to assume that, but hey one has to be to even write a blog and assume anyone else cares to read it.

So yesterdays recipe can be changed a hundred ways, using any different kinds of seasoned hams or cured ones (prosciutto’s) to cheeses (but please no American, or cheese product, try to use cheese’s that are full of flavor) but really it is a cheap dinner that would cost you a minimum of 20$ a plate at any restaurant, and you can make 4 plates for that price. Not to mention you look impressive and talented and really any schmuck can do it. You can also use pork medallions that you thin out well, or even steaks (beef or veal (if u can get veal do it, its extra $ but the taste is worth it)) that you pound out. So instead of going out for dinner next time and blowing 100$ at a restaurant with lousy service, shitty tasteless food and a crappy ambient (let’s face it most are just like that, and I worked in the industry so I know) cook him/her a beautiful dinner that they will remember forever. It worked for me; she has been mine ever since she had the first bite of the salad I made.

Partying and looking like a playboy and getting into events that 200-300 people are waiting at the door for while you walk in like a VVIP (that’s right, everyone is a VIP with facebook these day’s all that means is that more schmucks are at the door of a club waiting to get in because they are on the same list as 1000 other people, you want to have that extra V, trust me) will be discussed ad nauseam.

Please feel free to comment. If there is anything that everyone should do every day is speak up for what they think is right and true, otherwise you are wasting a right that millions died for.
