Hello -
Sorry I haven't posted in forever, but if it makes you feel better I haven't cooked at home for 2 weeks. :( I was working on a show called AH! Or as I say it: ah exclamation point. Check it out here: http://www.ah-opera.org/.
Apparently it is "Eat Local Month". One of my favorite things I subscribe to is Tasting Table Los Angeles. This morning I got an email that told me about Silver Lake Farms, a local organic veggie delivery situation. It is $200 up front, but it is for 10 weeks, thus breaking down to $20 a week for a box of organic veggies. This may or may not be in your budget, but I found it interesting.
Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Check it out!

Adeline's Play
You ask me, "Emily, what should I do with all of this money I'm saving on food?" Let me tell you.
One of my friends, Kit Steinkellner (I met her at the Sundance Theatre Lab last summer) has a show that is performing at the Los Angeles Theatre ensemble this weekend. She is a great playwright and I'm really hoping I can make it to her show this weekend. Tickets are only $20. A little too much for you right now? How about $15 if you buy them in advance. Need just a smidge cheaper? Hit up Goldstar.com. Tickets here are $10 with a $3.50 processing fee. It is the closing weekend, so get your tickets! To learn more about the show, click here.
PS - Please don't sue me for showing the poster on the old blog. : ) Just let me know if I should take it down.

Veggie Potato Skins
I don't know about you, but I love me some TGIFridays action. Their potato skins are delish. And will probably kill me, but I at least have their $5 dollar Happy Hour Margarita(s) to wash down the artery-clogging delight. This helps me forget how bad they are.
With my last post, we made baked potatoes. Perhaps you are like me and tend to over-cook. I of course baked 3 potatoes when I only needed one. This is the first step in making your very own "skins". Please be advised: I made these the next day and have simply been too lazy/busy with my new puppy to post. The potatoes have not been sitting around for a week.
You will need:
2 previously baked potatoes
Butter or Fake Butter of choice - I really Can't Believe It's Not Butter!
Spinach
Mozzarella
Salt and Pepper to taste
Sour Cream/Plain yogurt
1. Cut sides of baked potatoes as thick as you desire your skins.
2. Apply butter/fake butter to potato, followed by spinach and shredded cheese.
3. Pop in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or until potatoes are hot and cheese is melted. If you prefer your cheese a little brown on top, place in oven or toaster oven for a few minutes.
4. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sour cream or plain yogurt.
Cost Breakdown
2 baked potatoes at the 99 cent store($.10 each) = $0.20
1/4 bag of spinach at the 99 cent store = $.25
1/4 bag of shredded cheese from WalMart = $.50
