I’ve been doing most of my grocery shopping at Harry’s Farmers Market recently, buying unprocessed organic foods. One problem with natural food is that it doesn’t last as long as the stuff that is chemically engineered to outlast even Keith Richards. So, my larder is mostly empty and I make frequent trips to the market to buy the next few days’ meals. The downshot of this is that if something interrupts my meal plans, I don’t have much backup in store.
Take today, for instance. I had planned a bowl of porridge for breakfast, a cup of microwaveable Campbell’s Chunky Soup (grilled chicken and sausage gumbo) for lunch, and then a steak and salad for dinner. Motivated by the desire to have a non-explosive lunch, I had a cup of microwaveable soup for breakfast, and I brought my salad for this afternoon. Yes, I’m having salad for lunch. The lettuce police can stop oppressing me now. You know who you are. :p
So, what does that leave me? A steak and a bowl of porridge for dinner. Actually, I do have a few fallback items in the freezer. I’ll save the porridge for the weekend and pull out one of those frozen veggie bags I bought during the bronze age. After I clear away the attached glacier, they should still be edible.
Warning - blog owner is old and cranky and if you leave a comment he will follow you back to your place and return comment which usually leads to drama and debate, so if your blog is particularly Jesus / kitty / kid-intensive, you may want to reconsider.

I'm doing it on my own. I started by doing the opposite of Morgan Spurlock in Super-Size Me, namely quitting fast food and processed stuff in favor of healthy organics for 30 days, and I felt so much better that it's evolving into a lifestyle change.
