The Six O’Clock Scramble – Quick and Easy Recipes for Busy People
I’ve been using recipes from Aviva Goldfarb’s The Six O’Clock Scramble: Quick, Healthy, and Delicious Dinner Recipes for Busy Families for a while now, and it’s a must have even for you busy-but-frugal yuppies that don’t have a lot of time but are getting sick of that “take out” taste of food you don’t make yourself.
Unlike usual recipe books, this one organizes meals in the form of weekly menus, grouped by season, that then translate into your shopping list for the week. (If you follow an entire week’s shopping list, she has them on her Six O’Clock Scramble web site, too.)
Broke Ass Stuart: San Francisco Tips
The no-longer-resident ABM thought I deserved a copy of Broke-Ass Stuart’s Guide to Living Cheaply in San Francisco. (Why? I wonder…hmmm).
Broke-Ass Stuart is known for his writings in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and he’s the honorary, charter, uber GrubBoy. If only I were that motivated to go to as many places as he’s gone. I’ll go where no yuppie has gone before for y’all, but he hits up not only a ton of cheap (and not-so-cheap) eats in the various neighborhoods, but he gives you the scoop on cool attractions, bars, or events to check out, too.

Eos Happy Hour: $1 Oysters
Eos
901 Cole Street (at Carl)
San Francisco, CA 94117
415-566-3063
I’d been meaning to go to Eos for a while, and a friend let me in on his little happy hour secret. Well, except it’s not really a secret to those in the Cole Valley neighborhood, but I digress.
Sundays – Thursdays, from 5:30pm – 7:00pm, Eos serves fresh oysters on the half shell for $1, and has $5 wine and sake specials.
Corn-Fed Tilapia
A brain health blog written by the brainiac folks over at Lumosity warns that not all fish is brain food. Apparently, fish like tilapia don’t contain the right fatty acids in them to make them exactly healthy.
And there I was, thinking tilapia was the new chicken of the sea — white fish, kind of tasteless, a little cheaper, and takes on whatever flavor you put on it. Guess not.
Of course, there’s another side to the story, as one commenter duly notes. Corn-fed fish, in general, are not full of the good fatty acids. (When the heck did fish start getting fed corn, anyway?!, is my real question… but then sometimes it’s just better to be in the dark.)
