Dude Food Part Duex....Frugal Dude.

Sometimes a dude has a long bad day. It becomes so easy to just stop off somewhere and grab fast food. Even better is to sit down and let a pretty waitress serve you. But if you add it up you can spend less when you do it yourself. Plus I have seen some restaurant meals with 3000 calories and a weeks worth of sodium in them. So doing it on your own allows you to control exactly what you put into the food, especially if you have managed to piss off the wait staff and cooks.

A little planning  goes a long way when time is short. Busy dudes seem to squeeze more in when there is a lot on the plate anyway. Want to cook up something quick and easy? Watch 30 Minute Meals...heck Rachael Ray does it! You might say " Dude, I can't cook!" Dude says " If you can read you can cook!"  Just buy a cookbook or download some recipes off the interwebs. Some of the food is so simple you will want to cook it all the time. And...dudes, the ladies are impressed with a man that can cook.

I also find cooking as a way to escape and test myself. Nothing beats watching other people rave about the food you have cooked. One warning...if you experiment with a new food, spice or recipe, try it yourself first.
best to upset your stomach or contract food poisoning on your own.
