Part of living in San Francisco is coming to terms with the exorbitant price of living here; just now I was at a hoity toity speak easy bar with a killer sales pitch of not being allowed inside without a password off of a random word generator (just like this blog title!), buying 14 dollar cocktails and enjoying the novelty of drinking inside a fake library. The city is full of these little delights, dark corners with high prices and once in a Monday experiences. The issue is that you can only keep living la dulce vida for so long, and damn if the more you make the more you spend.

And so I present to you reader(s), “Light Pockets” – an amalgamation of cost saving activities, recipes, diversions, and whatever I feel like posting under the tag. If you don’t like the breadth of it, well fuck off this is my blog.

One of the easiest ways to pinch pennies for any aspiring billionaire playboy is to learn a few simple, 5 ingredient recipes that fill the stomach, stimulate the tongue and don’t look too shitty on instagram. And so I present to you Las Enchiladas de Pollo Borchornoso.
