With cooking! Honestly I never thought I'd be cooking again, but since our company closed down on Fridays (equaling a 20% paycut) I'm forced to reeducate myself in frugality. Which mainly means cooking. I've got the time now, and the inclination I suppose since I used to really love cooking. I just used to love it cooking for 2.
With this new Frugality in place, I'm not starving and I still have a cell phone but it means absolutely NO extracurricular spending. I don't mind a lesson in hard living, it can only be good for me. Just means I'm really looking forward to moving in with roommates to share expenses and that I'll have to drive my old car some more.
I've tried my hand a basics like soups, chili, chicken, rice dishes, and eggs with reasonable success. Hitting the grocery store sales has helped too. It's lucky for me that I don't like soda that much, I get to make tea all the time now!

Went on a date last Thursday, he's nice enough, but his accent is a little thick. We'll see what happens.
