Time To Pay The Piper

[Patrick]

Well, now that you've lived high off the proverbial hog by living off credit, wasting finite natural resources, not learning from the past and ignoring the future it is now time to pay the piper. Hello, recession and poor consumer confidence. I can go on and on about lots of non-food related topics but we are about food here and since food is also sky rocketing then maybe now it is time to heed our preaching about frugality in the kitchen (if not everywhere else). Our underlying foundation is, of course, peasant cookery. Peasants are dirt poor but more resourceful than the ones who look down upon them. When it comes to food there is no sect of society more creative than the peasant. Everything you see here is based on simple foundations. Study and learn from our site. You will not find more worthwhile, honest, simple and down to earth information on any national food site or TV show. Wake up and smell the roses and maybe this time next year you (and your family) will be a bit wiser and hopefully a little more frugal in your choices. Remember, you do not have to answer to the "Jones", only your own conscious.

I am a proud peasant - like Patrick. We are descendants of dirt farmers on both sides of our family tree. I wouldn't have it any other way. We learned to respect food and not waste it. Like we say in our book, if you respect yourself, then you respect your food, and vice versa.
