No, not an obscure Hot to Trot reference (how low can you go, Indio Oats?), but an NPR series from late April about making family dinners for under 10$. The first entry is a chickpea stew that sounded pretty good to me. 2nd was Ming Tsai doing chicken-and-corn fried rice. 3rd was alot of stuff: gnocchi, skate, and cream of asparagus soup. He did the gnocchi with baked potatoes, which was interesting, and a good idea. The 4th entry has gluten, dairy, and swine, so I won't be making it for Clare any time soon...In a similar vein, Slate has a nice article on what things are better to make and what are better to buy. It covers bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, jam, crackers, and granola. Her granola recipe was from Alton Brown, so you know she is an edumacated cook. Good find, Eliza.
Update: they ran a listener recipe, a lentil dish, by an american living in Pichilemu, Chile, one of the great surf towns of the world.

Yes!! Thanks Seth! Also thanks Seth for your foray into yogurt entrepreneurship ($2/qt.). This could be the beginning of a beautiful food-selling relationship, as long as you preface your name with a certain favourite word, ahem (trader) so that I am not really cheating on my one-and-only grocery store. Deal?
