My new food column, The Starving Artist, is up at Mimeograph.
Incidentally, budding writers, Mimeograph is still looking for columnists. If you like to write on food, entertainment, or other non-political topics, drop Paul a note with a writing sample.

Actually, very good article. I also recommend garage sales for a good, inexpensive way to equip a kitchen.
Impressive. I always resorted to the Bisquick-cream of chicken soup-can of peas-one chicken breast school of chicken pot pie.
Megan,
Good article, but I think you should have emphasized how important it is to get the browned bits of chicken off the bottom of the roasting pan. That's more than half the flavor for the gravy. One more reason to get a metal roasting pan.
Do they still make ceramic roasting pans? I've seen glass ones lately, but not ceramic.
What happened to the Foreign Service? I thought you were, like, employed? Or are you only starving on your spare time?
Nice article! Worth the price of admission just for the butter advice. I'll take up smoking before I ingest margarine.
Other starving artist ideas:
quiche - pie crust, cream, eggs, cheese and assorted leftovers
waffles - mmm, waffles.
I am delighted! I love roasting chickens. :) My stuffing usually consists of a lemon (or a lime for a nice difference), some cloves of garlic, and a bundle of fresh herbs... another really great thing to do is get a little tub of chicken livers (insanely cheap) and cover the bottom of your roasting pan with them. The livers can be saved for soup or whatever, and it creates a non-stick blanket for your chicken to lay on if your roasting pan's surface has seen better days...
... sorry, I just get enthusiastic about chickens...
"Margarine is an abomination in the sight of God."
And from your Mac & Cheese recipe,
"Unsalted pasta is an abomination in the eyes of God."
Not that I disagree, but what Scripture are you getting this stuff from?
I used your roast chicken recipe last night. My wife raved about how good it was. And we have chicken soup for the upcoming week!
All of the best blogs seem to have three salient features: 1) A rational take on current events, 2) At least some appreciation of economics, and 3) Good recipes. Off to see what Stephen Green is up to!
"God tells me these things directly. . ."
And God told me to use the Sunbeam Carousel Rotisserie to roast a four pound chicken and other cuts of meat of similar size. This cooking utensil does a fantastic job. The meat stands up in the rotisserie allowing the fat to fall off in a small dish. I merely prep the chicken and cook it for a little over two hours. Obviously, this item will not suffice for a large invitation list, but it does the job for two to four hungry people.
