How to Feed Yourself Like an Adult 11 things in the kitchen sink, domestic science, eleven things, frugality, gadgets, life hacking, recipes | (2)
One of the great maxims of frugality is "eat in". Carefully shop, cook your own food, and watch the savings mount! It's amazing what you won't spend if you quit buying takeout! And healthy! Yarr! True, true and true. Unfortunately, much like the other breathless basics all the frugality and personal finance bloggers love to beat to death, there's a whole lot of suggestion and not much explanation. If you already know your way around a kitchen, you're good to go, but what about those folks whose culinary talents don't reach beyond making coffee and microwave popcorn? Cooking isn't that difficult, really. ...

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In From The Muppets 11 things in the kitchen sink, eleven things, life hacking, lifestyle, self help, simplicity | (0)
One thing I've come to accept over the years is that life lessons will thrust themselves upon you unheeded from the weirdest places imaginable. One thing I've recently come to accept is that it is apparently my duty to present these oddball lessons to you as I discover them. Does this really need any more explanation? Let's take a turn for the video-enhanced and submerse ourselves to this week's 11 Things: Life Lessons From The Muppets. 1. You only have one chance to make a good first impression, so go for the full production number! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y89zLBcKlfs[/youtube] 2. Keep on top of your stuff, lest it ...

Living Behind the 8-ball 11 things in the kitchen sink, life hacking, lifestyle | (2)
It's been a quiet week around the Behind the Curve household, and by quiet I mean Dani and I sitting around eating frozen pizza and ignoring the world and everything in it while we study like maniacs. It's a funny thing... in one class alone, I have more work to do in a week than I dedicated to my full-time course load in a week in either high school or college, and I'm doing it. Perhaps my slack is satisfied by not doing the dishes and generally ignoring the rest of my adult responsibilities instead? Time will tell, and as ...

11 Things Buffy Taught Me About Frugality And Simplicity 11 things in the kitchen sink, eleven things, frugality, goals, goat-free simplicity, humor, livejournal, simplicity | (10)
Following up the smashing success of last week's 11 Things post, I thought I'd bring you another goofy pop culture reference. As you probably already know, Buffy the Vampire Slayer practically defined pop culture while it was on, and has indelibly marked our social landscape and language. But what can a blond college dropout with superpowers teach us about frugality and simplicity? From southern Florida we go to southern California just in time for... well, you know. 1. Question the dominant paradigm. Sunnydale was a lovely suburban town in southern California (with the unfortunate luck of being positioned right over a ...
