	Budget Stretching with Cheap Bastid by Walter Blevins If you’re like me, you’ve been scratching your head for a couple of years wondering how long it’s going to be before you wake up one day to discover that you are now a vegetarian. Not because you happen to prefer vegetables over meat but because you can no longer afford meat.Isn’t that kind of scary! So today, I’m going to invite…	1 vote 1049 views
	BBQ Beef Ribs by Walter Blevins Geesh, Cheap Bastid waited until after Labor Day to write about a fantastic dish tailor made for late summer grilling and feasting—BBQ Ribs.
