I'm a single lady and I buy Bandit boxed wine on the regular. Way easier to have a glass while vegging on the couch and have the wine stay fresh until I finish it - even if that's sometimes in one or two sittings.... Their cab is highly drinkable.

I mean, ribeye is the obvious winner.

Thai green mango salad with added crispy duck for protein. I crave it fortnightly.

Well-raised meat means tastier meat!

coated in butter and crushed potato chips.

I like making a breakfast casserole with layers of frozen waffles, cheese, egg, syrup and homemade breakfast sausage. It's like a breakfast lasagna!

Definitely under 200 bucks, but would consider up to that if it was a class with more than one session.

Beer in all sorts of things! A dash in my burgers, Guinness in a crock pot corned beef and cabbage. Beer cheese. The list goes on and on.

In high school I went through a phase where I'd make what I called "mushroom sandwiches" which were, well, mushroom sandwiches... I'd saute up sliced button mushrooms and douse them in soy sauce and eat them on crusty French or Italian baguettes. I was a strange child.

Does a bodega count? My go-to is buying a jar of nacho cheese and hint of lime Tostito's on the way home. Should I be ashamed?

i'm addicted to thai mango salad. I used to get it all the time from my local thai place until I realized it was really easy to make myself. Just cut up a mango into chunks, mix it up with a thinly sliced scallion and cover with a dressing made of rice vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, hot red chili, and a little sugar. Throw some shopped peanuts and cilantro on top and VOILA - delish!
