Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Lentils, beans, and...uh....beans.

Yeah. I like beans. All of them. So I can eat for cheap.

Farmers market is over priced here.

Also if your not used to cooking constantly it's not a good idea to buy a lot of produce at once as it's going to spoil.

There are two markets here. A yuppie one that is very expensive, and the hippy one. Sure you have to wash the dirt off your food at the hippy one, but it is cheap.

Don't worry, I'll start small and I'm sure my wife can assist if I get in over my head too much.:thumbsup:

Also, I wash all fruit/veggies when I just buy them at the grocery store anyways... a little dirt doesn't bother me!
 
CL400, I've definitely lived the lentil life. Sloppy joes are baller, and they freeze/reheat really well.

Honestly, even if you want some more variety, here's what I do.

Bangin Ritos:
-Can of Goya Blackbeans
-1x Sweet tater (chop that sum'bitch up and put her in the oven)
-Broccoli
-Onions
-Spicy pepper of your choice
-Brown or white rice

Roast the tater in the oven, brown your onions, broc, and peppers on the stove top. Cook that rice up real nice. Aquire tortilla shells. Make rito's, then wrap up what's left with even more tortilla shells. Freeze said leftover ritos, and when you're on your way to work in the morning, toss one in your bag. will thaw by lunch time and microwave most excellently. Will keep you well fed, and the taters, beans, and onions can be used in other dishes if you're way in excess.

Dude with the 2000s replied. Seems all stock, imma go check it out tomorrow hopefully.


Also: Jesus goddamn Christ Sleep was something else. You're not listening to a concert, you're experiencing a fullbody sonic barrage. Incredible. They played part of Dopesmoker too, and Antarticans Thawed. When they started Dragonaut, the whole place went nucking futz.

Do you mean just a soft flour or corn tortilla? Or are you referring to the crunchy taco "shell". I assume that's a big soft flour tortilla for the burrito?

I dont need to manage my budget so tight, but unless I am cooking for other people I eat really simply.

Once someone else is joining me, all bets are off. (food pron)

I cook oatmeal from scratch for breakfast every other day for my wife and I. Never plain, just simple variations. Spiced pumpkin, apple cinnamon, blueberry, savory (with a fried egg on top). The rest of the weekdays I make eggs and toast different ways and on the weekends I make pancakes. Banana pancakes, blueberry pancakes, this past weekend I made bacon pancakes. We've been stretching our dollar by pretty much buying staples (rice, bread, lentils, beans, butter, spices), eggs, fresh fruits and veggies. We fill up on frozen chicken breasts at Costco, grill em up, chop em up and keep them around to make tacos or add to dishes. I wish there was a butcher locally, but there just isn't.

We've been going out of our way to try to cut down on costs and eat less processed food. I still feel like I could do better, but I know we eat 100% better than we did 5 years ago and a lot better than most of the people I know for way less money. I need to make more big batch dishes to stretch out over the week. My wife makes a great turkey chili every once in a while to portion out for lunches.

I'll take the benedict crepes, plz<3

I find that cooking one night and eating lunch from it for multiple days is much easier than cooking each day. The rito is really just a sirracha vessel.

What goes into savory oatmeal?

Also, I was messing around with my bass through my friends Mesa single rec with the parachute wah, and was really blown away. It has a pretty cool distortion with bass, and gets some cool sounding pinch harmonics, which just sound evil with the wah. Might try out a stereo rig with a sunn on one side and the single rec on the other at some point, might be pretty cool.

Edit: Dual Rec, my bad.

Rolled oats, water, salt and chopped scallions (green onions). Then a little shredded cheese added just before it's done cooking (I used a mix of swiss and cheddar), served with a fried egg on top with salt and fresh ground pepper. I was a little skeptical if it would be any good, but my wife and I both enjoyed it.
 
Oatmeal in the morning would likely help me cut back also, seeing as currently I never eat breakfast and just wind up hungry at work.

FWIW, I will make a huge batch of steel cut oats on the weekend, and then all I have to do is carve off a slice, nuke it, add some syrup or jam or whatever, and its on. 2 minute breakfasts when you have 2 preschooler sot get out the door RULE.
