Holy Hannah! What a wild ride the markets are on. Yes, Wall street but also the one where we get our food. You see? You see? I have been saying for so long that we need to cook at home! It saves money, calories, time. All those who figured, nah, I have enough money to eat in restaurants forever are singing a different tune. One from Fiddler on the Roof, dadle, deedle, dadle, diga, deedle deedle dadle dum. Cooking is a skill that those who have been through hard times know.
How to stretch a chicken, how beans are cheap, excellent protein. How growing tomatoes and roasting them takes pennies and adds way more nutrients, flavor and pleasure! The good news is when we do these simple things we are actually saving the world and ourselves. The impact of a less expensive, vegetarian diet on the planet is well documented and leaning (no pun intended) toward vegetarian is better for the body too!
How our perspective changes when the paradigm shifts. I sound less like chicken little now and more like Tevye wishing for chickens to fill my yard. But I will always dress a little better.
