so I'm a food snob
This afternoon Chris and I went over to another couple's house for lunch. It was fun, relaxed, easy. We had spaghetti. It's what I would've made. We had a great time. Later one of us admitted to not feeling that great..not sick..just sort indigestion-y. The other said "me too!" Then it dawned on me. It was the prepackaged spaghetti sauce. It corroborated with other times we've felt like this after not eating at home.
I never buy prepackaged foods. Not because I'm some sort of major activist or something. I just like to cook and know that half the prepackaged food out there is easy as a pie to make from scratch (like spaghetti sauce). I don't even buy cold cereal (making my own granola). I'm not a huge fan of chemicals and faux flavors that go into most prepackaged foods, but I never thought about more specifically than just some sort of an "i don't like lots of chemicals" abstraction. Today it just struck me! Wow, so buying organic stuff really does make a difference. The abstraction turned into a reality.*
*Remind me to tell you about the chicken sometime.

seriously, it's so much better for you to eat closer to the earth. Like unprocessed foods and stuff you KNOW what's in. I made my own yogurt the other day. Happiness is homemade yogurt. :)

I am a firm believer in that stuff man, good for you. I don't think I've ventured into making my own spaghetti sauce just because I don't eat spaghetti that often. But making my own pesto and bread and granola (I was going to do that this week) is awesome. I also must add that I have so much freedom since I ditched using disposable diapers for my little man. It is such a rewarding thing to know that I am saving over 20 bucks a grocery trip! And it's the ultimate in stewardship of the earth. My water bill is no higher and my boy will be ready to potty train earlier than the kids in 'sposies'. no more artificial resin against my kids bumm.
