I haven’t shared a cheap eating recipe in a long while. This is a sad thing. While Sci is no longer a starving grad student, I AM still a post-doc, and we don’t get paid much better. And living in a Big Honkin’ City is no financial treat, either. This recipe, which I snagged from […]
Sci recently got a slow cooker (aka a crockpot, aka whatever else you call those things). I’ve been wanting one for ages, it seems like a fabulous way to eat cheap and healthy, not to mention one that is suitable for the academic lifestyle (chuck stuff in the pot, go to lab for 8 hours, […]
I have to say I had a rough time organizing this post. So many recipes came in, through all different methods! Comments, emails, TWEETS. Sometimes, I think there are too many forms of communication. And there are SO MANY RECIPES!!! SO MANY! They just kept coming and coming… So I tried to get them all, […]
Sci’s been in grad school, not so long ago. She knows how HARD it was to make ends meet, and to eat even close to healthy on a budget. But over time, she learned that it wasn’t impossible. There are good foods out there, quick to prepare and tasty to eat! And as grad students, […]
Sci will be hosting a Grad Student Eating in Style CARNIVAL on November 1!!! I’d like to have a cutoff for submissions on the 30th. SO, you have 18 days to give me your recipes!!! MUST they be healthy? Not really. MUST they be low calorie or contain veggies? Nope! MUST they be CHEAP?!? ABSOFRAKKIN’LUTELY!!! […]
Firstly, I’d like everyone to note that there is now a specific category for Grad Student Eating in Style! Hopefully I will get a few more recipes in there soon. Every time I tell someone I’m making Okonomiyaki, they ALWAYS look at me with an eyebrow up and say “what’s THAT”? Except for MicroDoc, who […]
The things that Sci thinks of when she hasn’t had enough coffee… So here it is. Sci often trades recipes with people. Cheap, easy ones mostly, the cheaper the better. She has posted some of her own on this blog. And then one morning I thought, wouldn’t it be GREAT if hungry grad students could […]
I’m sure you all know how much Sci loves her baked goods. For those who don’t know yet, check out my scone recipe! People who have tried it (n=5 at last count) all say it’s tasty. Go Me! But of course, you can’t have something sweet for breakfast EVERY day. Well, at least, I can’t. […]
Anyone who follows Sci’s twitter feed (you can grab it in the upper right of the blog! Is that a cute feature or what!) will know that Sci LOVES her scones. And cake. And cupcakes. And croissants. Basically, I love baked goods. They are made of awesome and win. I was listening to a podcast […]
First off, Sci would like to extend a pleased and blushing THANK YOU!! to all the people who voted for her in the Three Quarks Daily Contest. We’re in the top 20!!! I’m so thrilled by all the love. And by the fact that hyena mating is CLEARLY some sweet stuff. Well, of course it […]
