Here I am on 14th Street, shopping for the ingredients, which were all readily available at
1. Trader Joe's |
2. the Farmer's Market |
Here are the main ingredients
And here is how much the ingredients cost (keep in mind that the bread, butter, cheese, and milk I will use for several other meals):
Organic Swiss Chard $ 3.00
1lb. Organic Whole Wheat Bread $ 4.00
1/4 lb Organic Cheese $ 6.00
1 qt. Organic Milk $2.50
1 lb. Organic Salted Butter $4.79
1 lb. Organic Tomatoes $3.49
Red wine 4.99
The flour and spices I already had at home. The whole meal, then, comes under $30.00 and it serves 6 people, so it comes to $5.00 a plate (with wine included).
