"cheap meals" news and stories

Spoilers! Spoilers!

Last night's episode of Top Chef showed that there is a difference between being a great chef and being able to cook a meal in a home. Take Stephanie, for example. She can win challenges by the handful, but when asked to cook a meal for four, she overcooked a pot of couscous and tried to make a sauce out of peanut butter and tomatoes. In a way, it made me feel a bit good about my own cooking skills -- like, please, I cook dinner every night for 2-10 people and it (occasionally) looks a (a little bit) better than the turkey on rice that Mark made for the Quickfire.
