Ahh, when I can't seem to write fiction, it is nice to know that I can always fall back on getting my rant on.

11. The Group — Mary McCarthy ) Reading this book was a bit too much like being stuck at an interminable party full of people you don’t much like—and who make no secret of the fact that they freakin' hate you.




12. Audition — Ryu Murakami ) Well played.




13. Eight Days of Luke — Diana Wynne Jones ) You can see why Gaiman wanted to do something else with the material: something vaster; something that, even if it’s still imperfect, nevertheless has consequence.




14. Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You — Peter Cameron ) Exploring James' lonely psyche will make you feel less so.




15. Haruki Murakami and the Music of Words — Jay Rubin ) Murakami’s just this guy, you know? And that’s actually pretty awesome.




16. My Summer on Earth — Tom Lombardi ) Life is cruel sometimes.




17. First Contact — Evan Mandery )This is honestly very good, though. You should read it even if they won’t.




18. The Lost City of Z — David Grann ) This is the kind of true-life story that even the best fiction would have a hard time rivaling.




19. The Art of Racing in the Rain — Garth Stein )Whether or not this is a “man’s book,” it is definitely not a book for me.




20. The Unfinished Angel — Sharon Creech ) I always liked it when things happened.

So, I am wanting to try to learn how to cook more. The problem is that every recipe book or site I consult, even when I am specifically looking for "quick & easy" type recipes, seems to assume that I have money for fancy ingredients (no) or already own fancy equipment (really no). Bah! Bah on them and their Chilean sea bass and their food processors and grills. I turn to you instead for advice!

Do you have any favorite recipes you'd be willing to share? Specifically, quick, easy, and CHEAP recipes?

Here's what I do not have:

1. Very much money.
2. Very much equipment.
3. Very much skill.

On the plus side, however, I like almost everything. Except beets. I HATE BEETS.

So, any non-beet, non-expensive, non-excessively difficult involving twelve types of pans and a magic wand you could share with me?

In return, here's my favorite, failproof recipe )
