A
TV chef who used to make wonderful
meals, in which the
ingredients didn't cost much. A few of the items in his
recipes were pricy, but his point was that you should only spend money on the ingredients that really had to be high-
quality. That's the distinction between being
frugal and just being plain
cheap.
Rumor has it he was charged with a crime and taken off the air; this reporter is too lazy to do his homework.
