Cheap(er) Drinks: Tips For Enjoyable Drinking Without Going Broke
Hey, if you're just looking for neutral spirits (and that's really all vodka is, anyway), buy a liter of Everclear, add a liter of distilled water, and you've got yourself 2 liters of (in effect) 95 proof vodka for under $20. Good for mixing, if not for sipping.

Dark.
Seriously, why even include white "chocolate," since it's not, strictly speaking, chocolate at all?
Cook the Book: 'Chocolate Holidays'
In any possible way. But I'm especially thankful for any that's dark and bittersweet. As for white "chocolate," keep it far, far away!

I love making veggie chili. Just as comforting as the meaty one my mom used to make.
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
I started a diet at the beginning of the year, and in the recipe book, there was a fabulous veggie chili. I make that every week and, seriously, I eat it at least three times for lunch in a week. So good!

An organic, cage-free egg cooked sunny-side-up has been my recent go-to dish for any meal. I like to top the egg with grated quality Parm, lots of cracked pepper and serve with crunchy toast and a little salad with a tangy vinaigrette.

My wife's tortilla soup. I think it's vegetarian, but she'll add chicken to mine only, but it's not even needed. She would like to go vegetarian but I say no. Maybe this book would persuade me.
