As Opposed to "Deep Pockets"

It is August 3 and I am about a week away from turning in my resignation letter.  Yes, I will be leaving my cushy job at LCA and plan to be unemployed for at least 3 months.  This leap unto unchartered territory is something I've been planning for a while now, so please don't be alarmed and trust me that I have very good reasons for doing this.

With that being said, my "high-earning" income will no longer be turning up on my bank account every fortnight.  I will be living off my savings and will be budgeting like crazy.  Sorry my dear friends but the days of me paying for rounds of drinks and making sure the bill+tip+tax is fully covered are coming to a close.  My pockets won't be deep anymore.

If you know me at all, you should know that I love food. I eat. I cook. I research. I experiment. As much as I cringe at the sound of it, many would call me a "foodie".  So herein lies one of my "problems"... how, at a limited budget, will I go on with this love affair I have with food?  She is one high maintenance mistress!

This blog will chronicle my efforts to satisfy this lover, even with these shallow pockets of mine.
