Two characters from "The Achewood Cookbook" offer recipes and their opinions about fine food and drink. Bon appetit!
  • What world does this guy live in?

    You DO buy wine in boxes. You buy it because if you buy a bottle you'll drink the whole bottle at one sitting and become an obnoxious drunk. You can keep a box of wine up to four, five months after opening. And it doesn't matter what color the wine is; you keep it cold so it doesn't get moldy. I'll bet this guy keeps his bottle of catsup out, and he has to scrape the crust off it every time he wants to use it - whenever he can afford something to eat.

    And this "olive oil preferred" business is just plain stupid. Have you priced it down at Winn-Dixie? It costs more than that synthetic AmsOil for your car. The difference between the price of olive oil and Real People's Oil is big enough that you might buy a half pound of hamburger, if it's on sale. That might give you protein for your meal.

    You had better learn how to eat cheap, boy. Because the price of food is rising exponentially, and this yuppie crap you keep talking about is going to be beyond your means within a month or two.
