Red beans and rice and a green salad.

A big pot of split-pea soup with a hambone or a few slices of bacon.

Stir-fried chicken or tofu and veggies over rice.

A bunch of spaghetti with any number of sauces or oil-based "tosses".

What kind of food were you thinking of?

Fresh pasta with green garlic (in season now), olive
oil, and lemon juice. (Assuming you have olive oil on hand.)

Heck, you could cook that for $3 probably.

I was thinking of individual pizzas with homemade dough for the crusts
and improvised toppings.

But now, I'm wandering down alternative pathways to destinations like
jambalaya and gumbo. Or falafel, which is obviously another path
entirely. Then there's the possibility of a variation on salade
Nicoise if one's path leads to sunny southern France..

I'm going to wander away, now.

Depends if the $5 assumes no ingredients already on hand,

I don't know about absolutely delicious but you can make miso soup for
two for under $5. Miso and Japanese dried Hon-dashi stock keep for ever.
A large number of vegetables can be included.

On five bucks don't pretend pretentiousness... tube steaks on buns and beer.

Is this a first date... you can learn a lot about a gal observing her tackle
tube steak... if she goes the knife n' fork route make it a last date.

Try this..... also available at Sam's Costco. I keep a couple of

For a pound of yeast at 4.95, it remains the best value even if you
have to pay a small amount for shipping.

If you're willing to sit down and do the meal planning you can consistently
make meals for two people for less than 5 bucks a meal.

Check out some pasta dishes - or vegetarian dishes - beans are good protein
sources - and much less costly than meats.

I routinely make a big tossed green salad with marinated chicken for 2
for under $5.00.

Assuming the oil, vinegar and garbonzoes are 'on hand' and need not be
purchased... I once calculated that a cup of vinaigrette after the
initial purchase of the oil & vinegar costs about .20¢ per cup iirc.

The boneless, skinless breast of chicken is $1.30 per pound, 1 pound is
sufficient for 2 people.

Broccoli, green onions, tomatoes, lettuce, green and/or red sweet
pepper, garbonzoes (shouldn't be more than a dollar in a can 50¢ per
pound dried).

Simmer the chicken in water till done, cut up into bite sized pieces and
marinate in a nice vinaigrette for 20 minutes.

Cut up the veggies, toss with the garbonzoes & vinaigrette and serve the
chicken either tossed with or on the side of the salad.

If desired an orange at about 10¢ per orange may have the rind cut off
and the orange sliced and added to the salad.

A few slices of bread, buttered and sprinkled with herbs & garlic
granules can then be cut up and toasted in the oven for 'croutons.'

One secret to a 'delicious' salad is to cut the veggies into very small
pieces. A 'fine dice' of all the veggies allows for a better combining
of all the various flavors.

Using a very sharp knife cut the head of broccoli in half, lay the half
head on its flat side and slice through the broccoli in 1/8 - 1/4 inch
slices, this crumbles up very nicely.

Cut the green onions in half length wise before slicing into 1/4 inch
lengths.

A VERY SHARP knife is key to this.

I like to squeeze out the juice and seeds of a diced tomato and serve
just the tomato flesh in the salad.

Line the serving bowl with whole leaves of lettuce and add roughly
chopped lettuce to the tossed salad.

When you say green salad you mean green literally, just lettuce and nothing
else. For $5 you're talking two small side dishes, not enough to call it a
meal... whaddaya, dive into the produce dumpster...

What kinda uniform commercial accounting system is that... wait'll you get
audited... hey, you gotta deduct those from the $5... or else you may as
well treat your guest to din-din at the local soup kitchen.

> I once calculated that a cup of vinaigrette after the initial purchase of

What kinda oil, crankcase, used? Even the cheapest olive oil runs $1/cup,
maybe even more since my last purchase, was $17/3 liter can, and that for
store brand generic olive oil, I use it for general cooking... decent Goya
EVOO I use for salads, dipping, and other no-cook usage I pay like $17/pint.

If Jasper is really poor as he implies you should volunteer to take him
shopping with you, show him how you fill your pockets with free salad
dressing packets and other condiments at the fast food joints... and while
yer at it teach him how you nonchalantly palm the partially eaten bits off
the tables. LOL

For $6 one can buy a good sized whole roasting chicken ( I usually cut em in
eighths and bake em in a roasting pan, quicker cooking and less effort
serving), another buck will cover 4 medium russets to pop in the oven with
the chicken (either baked in jackets or wedged and roasted with the
chicken), and another buck will cover a bag of store brand frozen mixed veg
for the nuker.... now you spent $8 and have four decent meals for two (two
days dinners worth) and $2 left for incidentals... I bought a good sized
cantaloupe last week for $1.99, even though I ate half at a time it woulda
made four portions. I guess yoose drinking plain water. It's very
difficult to feed two adults something delicious and filling on $5) a kid's
happy meal at the Arches is $5. And it's not fair to swipe stuff that may
already be in the larder unless its cost is deducted from the $5.... I mean
I don't even need to shop and I can easy feed a hundred with what I have on
hand... and in fact the larger the quantity the less costly per and the
better the choices. I don't ever cook just enough for me for one meal
unless it's like fixing a sandwich or a bowl of ramen. I always cook enough
to feed me at least three times and three times left overs for freezing, and
that's a bare minimum. Even when I cook roasting chickens I always make two
big ones, it's not a lotta LOs... I got six cats that that won't eat beef
stew but they love chicky.

What exactly was ill-mannered in my post? Did I touch a sore point?

Are you even aware that good newsreaders automatically warn you before
any intended crossposting and so prevent you from feeding malicious
trolls?

The initial post in this thread did not seem like a malicious troll.
There must be something wrong, though, since I didn't see it, due to my
killfiling that other group.

I don't know how many news clients warn about cross posting. Mine
doesn't. Mine also fails to warn me about logic errors in my posts.

:-(

It seemed to me that you jumped on Serene quite hard for trying to help
someone, although it's hard to tell the intent of a post on a newsgroup.
Perhaps you were just trying to be helpful, but it didn't come across
that way to me.

An abrupt command delivered to a peer can be read as an example of a
paucity of manners. It may not have carried that intent when you
issued it, but I, for one, was rather surprised at the tenor of the
response. You touched no sore point for me other than my expectation
of courtesy from one as knowledgeable as you.

Again, one could imagine a more pleasant way to convey the information
you delivered above. Trolls are genuine and tiresome assholes, to be
sure, but their presence in rfc now and again is (to my mind) less
than a reason to berate one of the more valuable contributors to this
group. While the intent may have been to assist a participant and to
improve the group, the sentence carries also a message of exasperation
and impatience, which is likely to engender hard feelings going
forward.

Trolls like hard feelings. It feeds them as much as crossposting.
More, I'd hazard.

Well, something made you killfile that group, did it not? Perhaps there

It does, but only starting with five or more newsgroups (and refusing to
post to more than twenty). You might want to write to Simon Fraser and
request an improvement.

Please point out the hard-jumping part to me.

There are two things here, in case you missed them. One is a lack of
simple courtesy to the fellow users of a newsgroup. Either you pay
attention, or you install and set up a suitable tool, otherwise called a
newsreader, to "pay attention" for you. That is what computers and
software are designed to do - automating repetitive, boring tasks. It
is as simple as that.

The other thing is a deliberate refusal to pay attention to one's
surroundings. Month after month the same troll(s) keep(s) asking the
same kind of simplistic questions, crossposting them to the same
newsgroup, the nominally German-language ophthalmics one, but which has
long turned into a modern-day alt.fan.karl-malden.nose, only with the
Harvard students fortunately replaced with the relatively harmless and
meek special-education ones, pollute this newsgroup - and you (not
necessarily you, Dan) notice nothing? People oblivious to their
surroundings ought not to post at all.

ObFood: To add to the never-ending grilled-cheese threads, here is yet
another, refreshingly unorthodox variation, from _An Omelette and a
Glass of Wine_ by Elizabeth David.

Victor

French Welsh Rabbit
(Recipe by Comtesse Marie de Toulouse-Lautrec for a leaflet publicizing
Port-Salut cheese.)

'For 2 people: 2 large slices of bread, 4 oz. of Port-Salut, 1 large
glass of beer, 1/2 a glass of kirsch, 2 oz. of butter, Cayenne pepper.
'Melt the butter in a frying pan and put the bread slices in it so
that they are golden coloured on both sides. In a large saucepan, pour
the beer that you warm for 5 minutes. Then add the Port-Salut, minced
as thinly as possible, the kirsch and a pinch of Cayenne pepper. Stir
with a wooden spoon until the cheese is quite melted. Put the bread
slices in an oven dish, buttered beforehand, cover them with cheese
cream and leave in the oven to brown.'

Not to me. Was there something in that first post in this thread that
would have alerted a casual reader to the fact that it was a malicious
troll?

I guess I'm now in autokillfile mode. This is the third post I've noted
in the last couple of weeks that I've killfiled with no remembrance of
why. I trust myself, though, so I won't bother to go back and check,
especially since you have reinforced my decision by confirming that it
in fact deserves to be killfiled.

>Perhaps it happened more than once?

I suspect that I killfiled it and it stayed killfiled. After I first
killfiled it, my entry shows 31 uses since 2/26/2009. While I was
looking, I removed the expiration.

Like Serene, I'm human, and I miss a few, but I seldom crosspost. I
don't remember ever posting to more than three groups, although I may
have, perhaps in error. It's nice to know that I will be warned if I
try five or more.

The OP did not seem like a troll to me. He/She seemed like
someone who offered to make dinner for a friend (possibly even,
a date) and who only has $5 and wanted some ideas that would
be impressive.

Remember, it's the end of the month and a lot of folk don't have

Yes, the crossposting to an obviously unrelevant newsgroup. Here is a
screenshot of that post in the article window of my newsreader:
<http://vsack.homepage.t-online.de/window.gif>. See the crossposting?

> Like Serene, I'm human, and I miss a few, but I seldom crosspost.

Hopefully, most of those who post on rfc are human rather than bots.
That is why good newsreaders that warn humans of such things as possibly
unintended crosspostings should be used. Not so coincidentally, this
was one of the two main points of my original followup in the thread.
We seem to be going round in circles now.

1 1/2 oz Bacardi orange rum

Shake ingredients with ice, strain and serve into a chilled martini
glass. Garnish with a twist of orange.

I like trn. If there is a way of disabling it from crossposting,
I would do that as I as well sometimes don't see a crosspost when
replying. But otherwise, I'm not going to switch newsreaders
just for this reason.

I thought you should be made aware that your post was originally
crossposted. Ironic, ain't it?

Get a better newsreader? :-)

I don't care what geometry you use that is NOT a martini.

That it is <smirk>

What I wanna know is why Victor singled out Serene when several others
had already done the same in earlier replies... And yes, I also thought
his above reply to her terse to the point of rudeness.

My newsreader doesn't 'warn' me per se that I am about to crosspost, but
before I hit 'send' I glance at the group(s) it shows I'm about to
reply to. I (usually) just delete the obvious when necessary, but I
forget occasionally. So sue me.
