Food I ate Day Three, a Continuing Challenge.


Two books by anthropologist Colin M. Turnbull that changed how I thought about life. Maslow and Turnbull would agree about the fundamentals of life necessities. Live in an abundant world where food is at your fingertips, and where no words for anger, fighting or stress exist. Or live in a world where one's very means for being are stripped from you, and watch the social fabric and its community threads unravel. Still worthy reads, years later.

Now what I ate.  First a little change in the oats, hard flaked this time, $.32, which I nicely toasted in the oven first. Brings out a nice sweet crunch. I ate a cup with, again sliced 1/2  banana, Two new ones for $.55.  That with a 1/2 c of my still abundant Rice Dream box. And I had breakfast, which is something normally I don't always do.  I have on a few times have had Korean for breakfast, go straight to lunch I guess,.  Made a big decision to go off a vegetarian diet because honestly that is not who I am. I'm a carnivore. So when I found a nice package of organic chicken drumsticks for $3.17 I could not resist. I roasted these at 425 for 15 minuets then down to 325 until tested done. (initial high heat seals in the moisture and browns nicely) drizzled with a little EVO and lots of salt & pepper. I then stripped the meat off the bones and took that to work with steamed organic broccoli, about 1/2 c ($.36). Then at PCC I found some beautiful organic grey-green lentils ($.52) which I cooked up Al Dente, mixed with some squeezes of  organic lemon ( $.99) chopped organic celery ($.12)  and chopped organic green onion ($.82). Delicious. That was my dinner! Will write more later. Hierarchy of Bloggers Needs. I need to get to work!!!!
