affordable shit- MFAMB approved!

behold!

shit i feel is worthy of your money:

 

i have made so far:

no fry fries (a lot of effort for not much reward. my way is better)

sauteed greens with onions and soy sauce (have made this twice and it's delicious)

chicken and dumplings (very easy and delicious if a little too salty.  but that i am sure was my fault bc i use a concentrated chicken stock.)

roast chicken, rotisserie style (very good. follow the directions to a T. i will be making my roast chickens this way from now on)

chicken milanese with tomato and avocado salad (meh. if you're new to cooking this might impress your college friends. otherwise it's just pounded and breaded chicken.  it's a quick dinner though.)

penne puttanesca (easy and delicious)

there are a lot more in there i am excited to try like the duck ragu and the healthier brownies..

the overall verdict is positive. 

APPROVED!

 

 

also:

ezekial brand cinnamon raisin english muffins.

super delcious dripping with MELTED butter (key to perfection).

they are also high in protein so i don't feel hungry an hour after i eat them.

APPROVED!

smoked paprika is awesome.

way better than plain.

add it to everything.

what's really important?

thismotherfuckingshowthatiscomingontvjustforus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you were just born this morning you might need to know that that is MLB.

one of the designers featured on bravo's end of the month debut show "million dollar decorators".

 

this show was birthed just for us.

and by us i mean all the nerds who read design blogs and shelter mags and would probably rather be stroking fabric than rob pattinson's ding dong.  

 

it's been a while since i recapped a show.

since the design turds are in the middle of filming that show of shit..no recaps there.

(and no, i wasn't chosen to be a golden turd.  probably a good thing since i was perfecting my deadly, ball crushing ninja moves for vern)

 

anyway..

long story short..

i will be recapping the SHIT out of this show.

 

i promise very few words..

since words are for smart people and are very time consuming.

i promise lots of drawing on pictures though...and cussing.

 

i wish i could predict what this show is going to be like..

however i can assure you no one will be fashioning a coffee table out of popsicle sticks.

 

 

 

the show airs on bravo, tuesday may 31st at 10PM est. 

 

fart shit butt poo this is going to be awesome.
