What is this blog about?

Hello beautiful burners!

Welcome to my little blog! This is all about what to do with that cheap ass, disgusting food you don't usually eat but you bought for the playa and didn't eat. Why did you buy it for the playa then? Because it came in a can. Why didn't you eat it on the playa? Because you forgot your can opener or couldn't find it under the piles of fur and fluff. Not to mention you were sidetracked by the smell of bacon wafting over from down the block...

Now you have all this food that you would normally never buy, much less eat. Short of donating it to a food bank what else can you do with it? I myself am on disability, thus very poor and in need of food donations myself sometimes so giving it away is not an intelligent option. Therefore, I shall scour the web, finding recipes that incorporate my $.88 cans of generic "food" and tweaking them to my satisfaction. Or, I'm sure in some cases, not my satisfaction and the dish will go either down the drain or to my cat.

Allow me to make my introductions...

This is me, my name is El. It's an old photo but I look pretty in it so I'm using it :) I've gone through many playa names including Esby, This One and Bootnapper. I've also been with a few camps including PlayaQ, The Department of Mobility and most recently (and permanently, they can't get rid of me now) Videogasm. I'm an eight year burner and the coordinator of the Rocky Horror Picture Show on the playa at Videogasm. I am known to be a fantastic cook (did you get one of my fried pickles on the playa?) and can do a lot with very little. I get very creative in the kitchen and have also been known to set off the smoke alarm more than once. Live and learn.

This is Deb, my wonderful roomie. I will force her to try the creations I concoct, no matter how gross they sound. Luckily, Deb lives off Top Ramen so she gets excited whenever I make anything to share.

This is Sally Mae and her big orange balls. She will be the very happy recipient of anything I make that I can't force down my throat or my roomies. This cat will eat anything and I mean anything. She likes cabbage. Cabbage! She's a furry garbage disposal.

This is my savior.

I am sure I will have more victims as the days wear on but this is our core taste-testing group for now. 

So grab your dusty leftovers and your Pepto! It's time to cook some cheap ass playafied food!
