leftover food, leftover cash; don't throw it out

This Dorothy Parker (she's not the one from the Round Table) will entertain you and save you lots of dough. She goes a mite overboard about not throwing anything out, but her recipes are right on. Waste not, want not and eat high off the hog. Parker's advice on kitchen equipment is sound and practical. Her list of all the things you do not need, and what you can use instead, is priceless. Not only will your eat well for less, but in the chapter entitiled Everything Under the Kitchen Sink are instructions for making your own cleaning aids, cosmetics, and surpising uses for your household tools. I'm no great chef, but I tried many of her more than 200 recipes (I didn't try them all because we do not eat pork or shellfish) and even if you have two left hands they work, as do all her other ideas. The first chapter alone will repay the cost of the book and then some.
