This morning on the Today Show I saw a very informative segment on how to barter. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but something about highly paid people in expensive suits under studio lights giving me tips on how to participate in a prehistoric economy gives me a whiff of the Next Great Depression, 21st-century-style.
Next: Rachel Ray cooks up some hobo chili, Martha Stewart makes origami figures to stuff in her poncho for insulation, and Jim Cramer goes long on toothpick-enhanced cigar stubs.
Today’s Iron Chef ingredient: a dented can of expired beans.
