The Weekend Food Roll… Small Household Food Strategy Example
First off, in case it is not completely obvious, I really enjoy and am grateful for what I get to eat. I am also very grateful to have as few compromises as possible to deal with when buying, selecting, and preparing meals.

This was not a good thing, but still I kept … [Read more...] about An Experimental Workbook and Interesting Things to Think About
Borrowing an Idea From Tim Ferriss – Five for Friday… and Another Poker Chips Workout

An Efficient Approach to Dinner for One or Two, or How to Take Full Advantage of a Giant Red Cabbage

Some of my online friendships are VERY old, in fact, my oldest maintained online friendship will "turn 20" next year.)
