Eating differently
I’ve been quite busy with the garden (pictures coming) and I’m eating a lot more thoughtfully. There are volumes to be written about that, but what I mean is more or less really thinking about what I’m eating instead of just cramming (fast, bad) food in mouth as quickly as possible so I can move on to next thing. This has lead to a continuation of a blossoming trend in enjoying the preparation of foods as well. I always enjoyed baking but now entrees are a fun new land to explore.
Then there’s the cost factor. Money can buy a moderate amount of crap food or a smaller bit of good food that makes for more “life, experienced, now” moments. Who knew parsnips were so sweet? I mentioned the garden, right? Reminding myself a watched seed doesn’t germinate. It’s a process. Anyway, I really enjoyed this article at Salon by a woman who answers the question “Can we afford to eat ethically?” by which she means sustainable, local, organic. Some good links in the article as well.
One stupid mistake yesterday: I dropped one of the pots of leek seedlings. I may’ve saved most of them; we’ll see.
On the other end of things: for a bit of perspective, who was dead at your age?
