What’s a frugal trick you’ve chanced upon recently?
I accidentally semi-reinvented the “trencher”. Basically, in medieval times, food would be served on a slab of bread and that would kinda be the plate. Or, you know, bread bowls for soup and the like.
I have an air fryer, and I’ve learned I can line the basket in a large flour tortilla, and it generally keeps whatever I’m cooking/warming up from getting the pan too dirty aside from some easily knocked-out crumbs.
I hate washing things, and I hate wasting paper liners, so it lets me cut down on those, and I can just eat the tortilla.
Only downside is if you didn’t grow up with someone showing you the ropes (or you did, but moved far enough away that mushroom species changed), a bad identification can put you in the hospital or kill you.
I didn’t get the benefit of anyone showing me this stuff growing up, but I’ve been very carefully educating myself. Like you said, mushrooms are tasty!
I only started picking mushrooms this year actually. But I’m also very careful and don’t pick anything but good newbie mushrooms without risk of dangerous mix ups.
