It is said that the Gods rejoice when a person keeps a vow.
Here is mine, after seeing the movie, Food Inc.
I will only buy the following items, ideally unprocessed, organic and very local when available:
flour
water
nuts
legumes
beans
vegetables
fruits
milk
butter
yogurt
eggs
spices
honey
sugar
oils
rice
A local seller on Craigslist is allowing me to get a $20 breadmaker in very good condition. That will allow me to take care of breakfast, with good chai on the side. Toasted homemade bread with local butter and farmer’s market peach jam doesn’t sound like scrimping to me.
Let’s see. What else?
