poor man's _______

May 12, 2009 16:36

Recent events have led to budget constraints, which have in turn led to creativity with respect to creature comforts - especially coffee drinks. While I envy those who can afford to pay a barista to concoct their daily caffeine fix, I am not among them. However, as one who enjoys a little bit of funk in the coffee cup, I have devised the following:

poor man's latte: brew a strong-ass pot of coffee. Heat up some milk on the stove. Grab a bottle of flavored syrupy goodness (I bought target brand "sugar free hazelnut".) Pour, pour, pour, stir.

poor man's mocha: brew a strong-ass pot of coffee. Heat up some milk on the stove. Grab a packet of hot cocoa mix (or a generous squeeze of hershey's syrup). Pour, pour, pour, stir.

also, at dinner time:

poor man's chicken parmesan: cook a boca chik'n patty. pour some 'sketti sauce on top.

I am curious if anyone else has gotten creative in the cupboards cuz their wallets are crying.
