As musicians, money is always tight so I'm always looking for yummy recipes on a shoestring budget. As Quakers, I attribute the lack of money to adherence to the testimony of simplicity. There are times, though, when I feel like it is leaning more toward involuntary simplicity, rather than voluntary simplicity. Then I take a deep breath and cook.
