This Week's Food Waste
None Found
This Week's True Food Confessions
 |
| A sampling of a few things we had this week. |
We had a pretty good week. We ate mostly at home except for the night that I went out with friends and Wally and Ward had Chinese. Also, we didn't get a chance to try a new recipe this week, but we did try a couple of new products that you will see below. Both were a hit and will be on the menu again.
Now, I'm leaving on a jet plane tomorrow and my bags aren't packed and I'm not ready to go. (Does anyone get the Peter, Paul, and Mary reference?) Better get busy.
Until next time...
But wait, there's more:
How many misspelled words and omitted words can you find in this post? The first person to find more than I just found when I read it, will get a special shout out.
Congratulations on zero waste :) You're really getting good at it now. The quinoa looks nice :)
ReplyDeleteWe haven't had much time to go grocery shopping. That helps with the no waste goal.
DeleteHa! No shout out necessary. :-)
ReplyDeleteSafe travels.
Sometimes I think that I should never reread posts because it just drives me crazy.
DeleteJust what we like to hear!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to be able to write that I have no waste.
DeleteGood job on no waste! I need to climb back onto the zero/low food waste bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I bet we see you on the no waste side next week.
DeleteHave a great trip, live and learn!
ReplyDeleteI've made a pilaf before that is both savory and sweet, with onions and carrots, plus dried fruit. Very yummy! I
ll have to see if I can find that recipe again.
I generally don't like to mix savory and sweet too much. However, this mix seemed to get it just right. Enjoy your pilaf. I look forward to hearing about it.
DeleteGreat work on no waste! I like quinoa too but it made the news in quite a big way over here during the Easter hols - demand from richer countries is pushing up prices where it's grown so that locals can no longer afford to buy it...check this link - http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/eats/ethical-eat-quinoa-article-1.1245075
ReplyDeleteThe article you referred me to wouldn't come up. However, I did read a couple more about the same subject. Then I had a lively discussion about several of the things brought up from both an economical point of view and and ethical one. The conclusion was that we didn't need to stop eating quinoa. Market forces would probably take care of the price problem and different local farming and distribution practices could also help. I was disappointed the articles I read were alarmist and were not accurate in a some places. That made me take everything else they said with a grain of salt.
DeleteThanks for calling my attention to this issue. Although it has been discussed over here, it sounds like it didn't get the same amount of press as you saw. Nothing is every simple, is it?
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you'll wait for me, hold me like you'll never let me go.... Not sure if anybody else got it, but this former folk music school director sure did! And BTW, Peter, Paul and Mary may have had the big hit with it, but it was written by my childhood hero, John Denver.
ReplyDeleteAnd no... I didn't notice any typos... but for a dyslexic like me that's sort of a trick question!
Anyhow, congratulations on your no waste week and have a wonderful trip!
John Denver. Lot's of great memories with him also. Now, I'll be singing his songs all day. And that's a good thing.
DeleteI spent the whole of last weekend singing this song. Seeing as I couldn't remember more than the lyrics of first line (until I read Cat's comment), there was a lot of improvisation!
ReplyDeleteI improvise lyrics all of the time. It drives my sister crazy.
