Errk!

 ML> "Can do better" isn't the issue. If I went out only to

Agreed! And I do eat out occasionally for all those reasons. 

 ML> even raw economics.
 ML> I can go to the 99 and get a fried seafood platter for
 ML> $12 that would cost me that much for the ingredients alone

But that's not true here. I can't think of a single meal out that isn't
at least triple the ingredient cost or double my retail cost.

 ML> of course, there's the beer thing

And beer's cheaper at home too.

Plus I don't have to tip the waitress, just give her a kiss or a pat
on the bum.

     Title: Halvas Moraitikos (Halvah Moraitikos)
Categories: Candy, Greek
  Servings: 8

    3/4 c  blanched almonds
      6 c  water
      1 c  butter
  2 1/2 c  sugar
      2 c  farina (cream of wheat)
      2 TB cinnamon
      3 TB sugar

Chop almonds except 8.  Put the water, butter and sugar into a wide
pot, mix well to dissolve sugar. Bring to boil, then add farina. Stir
the mixture rapidly to prevent its sticking and forming lumps. Simmer
over low heat until it thickens, stirring constantly. Add chopped
almonds and half of the cinnamon; stir well. Pour into buttered pan,
spreading mixture evenly.  Cool, and score into squares or diamonds. Put
a whole almond on each piece. Bake in 350 F. oven for 15 min. Remove
from oven. Sprinkle with cinnamon and the 3 tb. sugar. Cool; cut and
serve.
