I love cheap, nutritious food: lentils, rice, toor dal, and other beans and grains. Even popcorn.

You've undoubtedly seen this trick on the internet or from your beloved Italian nonna: balance a wooden spoon across a pot of cooking pasta to prevent the water from boiling over and creating an unsightly, sticky mess all over your stovetop.
