  1. Hehe, extreme pantry cooking. This should be a food blogger theme (or is it already, and I just have no idea?)!

  2. Most nights we engage in a little extreme pantry cooking.. Oh to be young and cash strapped!

    I think there's quite a few 'cheap' food blogs about, 'cheap' tends to depend on where you're living though. I know I miss the spoils of Sydney food. I should make the extreme pantry cooking a recurring thing..
