Today, things are hustle and bustle, with everyone constantly chasing after the newest, biggest, brightest, fastest next big thing. Who has time for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Let’s roll down to the local fast food joint and grab a burger. And if you’re single, you’re always grabbing a burger, pizza, frozen dinner or other empty food just to fill the void in your stomach. [...] What would you do with an extra $16 a month? It might not seem like much, but to someone truly in need, it could make the difference between eating for a day and not eating that day. [...] Have you seen TLC’s newest reality show “Extreme Couponing?” I watched a couple of episodes over the weekend and was intrigued, up until the point where I remembered that I’ve never been able to use coupons as a single person, mostly because of lack of time, lack of motivation and really, not wanting to buy the things the coupons represent. What about you? Do you use coupons as a single person? [...] By special request, here’s a recipe for homemade marshmallows; not for every day and not for one but fun to make on a weekend!

So we get frustrated and think that those things are for other people, not for us; after all, we’re alone, right? We aren’t worth anyone pampering us, so why should we do it for ourselves? Right? [...] Why aren’t we angry about how restaurants are treating us, as if we’re cattle, eating anything put before us? Why aren’t we boycotting places that offer food no one should eat? Because too many of us don’t really care. [...] Ah, the common spatula – it’s designed to flip burgers, pancakes, french toast, steaks without sticking. It has been known to be used to scrape the ice off a college student’s windshield, pick up doggie doo or, when I was a kid, to spank an errant child. Basic, always the same shape, always the same functional design. [...] Fast, easy and delicious! Can be used as an appetizer or light dinner! [...] For those born in the last 20 years, you probably can’t remember what cooking was like before a microwave. [...] |
