The night before we had a small celebration so I had purchased food. I went to famous Dave’s and for 60 bucks got enough sides and meat to feed everyone.
I asked the youngest if on Thursday he had a choice between Famous Dave’s or a repeat of the Garden dinner what he would choose. He said he didn’t like the famous Dave’s all that much. He said there was not much meat on the bones and it wasn’t very flavorful just covered up with sauce.
That’s what I’m finding too. The things I thought were so good either have no flavor or are so over flavored they just aren’t good. I don’t think I could convince people to eat fresh or local just by talking about it. Just like I don’t think I could convince them to drink Beet Kvass. I think if I feed it to them for a month … heck even a couple weeks the difference in health and tasted would be noticeable for them when they returned to their normal life.
It’s a tremendous deviation from what we have been use to. I guess 8 months ago I would have said it’s a lot more work I find that interesting. The payback from all of this deviation is worth it to me which I find REALLY interesting. Unplugging and working together with my wife on bread and all of the other mini projects we have to sustain ourselves and eat better lets us chat and laugh more. The two hours we spend watching a movie is spent in silence staring at a TV. The two hours we spend on a project is all talk and togetherness followed by a better way of life.
Is it just? Because as I watch the news it seems like the entire country is facing some kind of technology repulsion.
