Money Pizza

pizza

Money Pizza is an promotional concept for an imaginary pizza chain that sells a $5 pizza. The magnetic fridge-based coin keeper holds $5 in change. As its creator, artist Matt Brown, says, “The concept eliminates the shame people feel when they pay for something all in change. No counting involved with this, both cashier and customer know exactly how much money there is on that pie.”

If I owned a pizza place, I would definitely use this. (via Slice)

Simple Pasta

I rarely make up my own recipes, but tonight we had enough stuff laying around the kitchen that I out together a pasta that turned out really good.

Recipe:

  • First I diced a shallot and cooked it in olive oil and butter until it was soft.
  • Added 1 clove of garlic and cooked for about 1 minute.
  • Poured in about a cup of chicken stock and let it reduce over medium heat for about 6 minutes.
  • Added some shrimp.
  • Seasoned with salt, pepper, crushed red pepper.
  • Added pasta (I had spaghetti on hand) and some pasta water to the pan.
  • Let it go for a couple minutes then added bread crumbs and parmesan.
