Usolicited book recommendation of the week: The Black Swan by Nicholas Taleb. This is a truly exceptional book about how we fail to understand large and unexpected risks. I first read it a few years ago, and read it again last year. It's somewhat arrogantly written, but it's also one of very few books that actually changed how I think about everything.

Thanks Dan! :D

Love the "do fewer things" article. It definitely speaks to the life revisions I made last month.

And also a great article on eating fats. Mmmmm fat. But seriously, and I think I've said this here before: if nature gives you a pure food with fat in it, eat it that way. You think nature didn't know what it was doing? I mean, please. So I happily eat my avocados and nuts and fish and olive oil and I will never ever buy fat free dairy items. Especially cheese. *Shudder*

Hey, thanks for the link!

TTC: Thanks, yes, it was a good link. I probably should re-run some of the content here at CK to help people with still more ideas for cutting food costs--there are a lot of new readers who aren't yet familiar with A Recession-Proof Guide to Saving Money on Food or my post on The 25 Best Laughably Cheap Recipes at Casual Kitchen. Enjoy!

Melissa.... ohhh those meatballs. :) Hehe. Great work on that recipe.

Rhiannon, you are welcome! Keep firing up those great posts on your site. I'm enjoying them.
