City Cooks
One way to economize in tough times is to cook at home and eat out less. TheCityCook.com’s Kate McDonough and “roving gastronome” Zora O’Neill offer tips for those just starting to use their ovens for cooking, instead of extra shoe storage. Plus: reactions to Gov. Paterson’s budget proposals; and will there be room in Washington for everyone planning to attend the inauguration?
Question of The Day: The Budget and You
What feature of Gov. Paterson's proposed budget will affect you the most? Be specific! We've posted a link to the official budget overview below.

Koerner, contributing editor at Wired, respond to the Governor's budget.

Offended?
We are still interested in whether you were offended by the Saturday Night Live impression of Governor Paterson. Give us a call and comment below. We especially want to hear from our blind listeners. Plus, what about Obama's speechwriter, Jon Favreau, who now famously fondled a cardboard cut out of Hillary Clinton in a photo posted on Facebook? Was that offensive? Let us know what you think. You can read yesterday's comments here.
