As many of you saw last week, StuKitty was the first one to try out the Project Food Blog cooler, leaving little room for the food...
That's better! Now off to weather the elements...
Good thing this thing's waterproof!
Waiting for light rail in the great hurricane of oh-ten. Okay, so it was just a mild storm, but I'm from California & genetically predisposed to be anti-wet stuff.
A quick jaunt through the Amtrak station under I-5, and voila! You're in Old Sacramento...
History never sleeps in Old Sacramento! And I suppose I shouldn't be complaining about wet feet when she's in a DRESS!
Some of the shops in Old Sacramento...
Coulda passed for a real "old time" photo had it not been for this sedans parked in front... note that "Trail Mix.net" is next to "Candy Land". That's like putting Weight Watchers next to a Krispy Kreme, right?
All the Old Sac buildings are all dressed up for Halloween
Old trains in the Old Sac rail yards. Some of these are still used for tours throughout the Old Sacramento area...
Like the "Spookomotion" tour, complete with haunted house runs and spooky conductors dressed as ghouls.
The full spread of delicious, whole grain goodness. Yes, even the cake is good for you! Except for the frosting, of course. ;)
Spicy White Bean, Beef & Amaranth Soup with Tomatoes & Kale
Hot, tomato-y, beefy, amaranth-y goodness!
Spicy Red Quinoa & Shrimp with Tender Kale
Hearty deliciousness on palm leaf plate...
Red Quinoa, Apple & Cranberry Cake with Homemade Cream Cheese Frosting
It's just so pretty once it's sliced! And that frosting....... *faints*
I really should have brought the whole cake; one slice was NOT enough!
Agua-panela... warm, sweet, and comforting
Home & dry at last after a long, stormy day and ready for a nap. Come to think of it, this cooler doubles as a nice pillow...

How to eat ridiculously well on a minuscule budget.

I created Poor Girl Eats Well in August of 2008 as a fun way for me to share how I make it possible to eat quite well despite my limited means. After some bad financial moves of my own and several strokes of really bad luck over the past few years, I ended up in one of the worst personal recessions I have ever been through and though I’ve always been pretty frugal when it comes to food, I really had to buckle down and force myself to stick to a budget and get really creative if I wanted to eat.
