Made From What delicious dinner have you made from random ingredients on hand?
Totally out of our normal groceries, last night I had to come up with something for dinner. I ended up with the most delicious spaghetti and meatballs using half a jar of tomatoe sauce, a can of V8, and some frozen Swedish meatballs from Ikea. It turned out so well I will make it again.
So, my question is, What have you made from strange ingredients that turned out well?
Once when I was out of food and didn't want to go to the store. Company came by (of course at the wrong time) and I made spaghetti with garlic and it was really great. Used olive oil and minced up about 8 cloves of garlic let it cook in the oil for a few and added oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Then I tossed in the pasta. I was surprised at how good that was because I usually eat pasta with sauce.....every now and then I make it on purpose and the company I had will ask me to make it for them. LOL...
Rated: RSynopsis: Made drops two floundering amateur boxers (Vince Vaughn and director Jon Favreau) into a money-laundering scheme that takes them from tedious L.A. day jobs to the heights of New York club life. Favreau the filmmaker tries a little of everything -- jump cuts, freeze frames, contrapuntal sound, indie-flick ukulele-strumming and the half-asleep glory of Peter Falk, who here plays a mob boss. The result is a vibrant genre salad -- the boxing movie punching on the construction-worker movie, which plays voyeur to the stripper movie, which shimmies next to the mob movie, which badda-bings the hip-hop fantasia, which washes all over the late-Woody Allen handheld photography. Packed with appearances by Faizon Love, Jennifer Esposito, Drea de Matteo (The Sopranos), Famke Janssen and Sean "P-Diddy" Combs, not to mention rivers of Cristal and after hours booty-jiggling, the film is Swingers in a ghetto fabulous thought bubble. In this reunion of Swingers co-stars Jon Favreau (making his feature directorial debut) and Vince Vaughn, the two star in a new Mob comedy set in the underbelly of New York City. Favreau plays Bobby, an aspiring boxer who has a lackluster record but refuses to give up his lifelong dream. Ricky (Vaughn) is a loose cannon hanger-on who dreams of breaking into the mob. When Bobby begins to get close to old-time Mob boss Max (Peter Falk), Ricky believes it is a way into organized crime. Max is more interested in Bobby carrying out orders, but he allows the two to perform a job In New York under the supervision of a smooth crime lord (music mogul Sean Combs). Ricky then is powered by the idea that he and Bobby are bigwigs in their new community of acquaintances and begins to assume the role of a high roller -- at the expense of his friend. Made, also written by Favreau, also features Sopranos regular Vincent Pastore, Famke Janssen, and Faizon Love in supporting roles.

How many frames in all can be made from this original piece of cardboard? What is the total area of all boxes?
A more detailed question is as follows:
A framing shop uses a square piece of cardboard to create a set of square frames, one cut out from the other, with as little wasted as possible. The original piece of cardboard is 50 cm by 50cm. Each of the “nested” square frames has a border 2 cm thick. How many frames in all can be made from this original piece of cardboard? What is the total area that can be enclosed by all these frames together?
The smallest frame that can be made is 4 by 4 (since 2 x 2 won't have a hole in it...)
46/2 = 23 frames can be made.
The total area enclosed is 2 * 2 + 4 * 4 + ... + 44 * 44
