Plantin, Plannin, and Disco

Well… washing the potatoes was like three minutes, peeling five, and baking them twenty. But you can just chillax while they bake and then the fish, peppers, mushrooms, vinegar, goat cheese, and mayo thing takes like twenty tops. So altogether it’s a tad over an hour but that’s only technically.

The whole point of this is that it’s not that tough to eat healthy, affordable, tasty stuff. Even for someone who’d prefer to continue napping.

I plan on doing more ‘hipster home ec’ type essays, vlogs, etc. as I discover how to eat well as a Frugal McDougal.

When I was a kid I recall going out to my friends Dacha with my drunken uncles. Potato cooking seemed so simple then. First you get properly pissed then you wrap the spuds in tinfoil and toss them in a fire by the river.

Gone are those halcyon days of gilded simplicity… as is my memory of how to cook a potato… so I did a search for it.

Apparently they explode…

That my decadent western friends is the 1337 hacker’s version of a summer cottage. I remember launching my first DOS attack from the turnip patch. Off to do some squats….
