Introduction

Being a full-time college student and a part-time dreamer, I generally consider any activity that isn't worrying or casual dating a pretty low priority. Eating is one of these activities.

I mean, I love good food. I really do. But for the most part, I eat what's around, when it's around. I can eat from a hundred-dollar pot of sharkfin stew or from a plastic bag of cereal. And let's be honest; when I'm the cook, my dinner is more likely to be the latter than the former.

Over the last couple of years, I've experimented extensively with one-dish meals created first from fresh groceries, then from meal leftovers, and then from dried and canned goods. Sometimes it's only after condiments take over as the main course of a meal that I'll pick up fresh groceries again.

So this blog isn't about creating obscure or fancy cuisine. It's about buying seasonal food and vegetables that are cheap and using them in everything. It's about keeping sacks of onions and potatoes in the cupboard so that, if necessary, all three meals of the day can be made with the two as main ingredients. Most of all, it's about exhausting anything and everything left in my kitchen so I won't have to go to the market today.
