    HIJACK.......dont feel like creating a new thread...


    I finally copped some Callaloo from my local green market. My supermarket is quite diverse but they never stock this shit.

    Any suggestions???

    Just cook it down and thats it? Scallions, Garlic, Scotch bonnet pepper.......

    Or the Trini way w/ okra and coconut milk?




    I also copped some "Red Russian" Kale. Easy to cook.

    I don't buy all organic all the time, just certain things (garlic is the big one) - generally speaking, I am not a big junk food person. Every now and then, I'll get a bottle of this and basically finish it and a bag of chips in a week.



    I have an ice cold Coke once every few months, that's a pretty exciting event in my life.

    Probably not the kind of answers you were looking for lol

    I haven't in a long while, but put a package of Nutter Butter in front of me and watch it disappear with the quickness.

    Here???s How U.S. Food Items Are Labeled Overseas

    by JacobSloan on June 25, 2013 in News
    Supermarket shoppers in other countries are informed that American processed foods contain GMOs and artificial coloring dyes linked to childhood hyperactivity. Why aren???t we told this? Food Babe writes:

    The NY Times verified that this is in fact a real label on US Kraft Mac & Cheese sold in the UK.

    We know that Kraft does not label, distribute or export the US version of Mac & Cheese officially. (To echo my quote in The NY Times, I find it extremely bizarre that Kraft had no knowledge of their products being sold and widely available in one of the largest retailers in the world (Tesco) and are trying to pass this off as a black market supply.)

    Kraft customer service confirmed use of GMOs in their products. Given all the public statements that Kraft has made to the media about this label, they have not attempted to refute their product ???May Cause Adverse Effects On Activity And Attention In Children.???

    I used to keep things in the office that I could gnaw on while I worked, especially pistachios or olives (back when I worked close to Fairway on the UWS) since those will distract you long enough without having to take a total break. But when I couldn't find pistachios I'd go with one of these options:







    and these are like crack:

    My dad's addicted to Haribo Sours. I hadn't eaten sweets for about a decade before spending some time with him. That shit is way too addictive for me. Had to break the habit by moving over to soft/dried bananas and mangos. Still full of sugar but much better.

    For Kraft Macaroni Cheese; E102 & E110 are red-flagged food additive codes, giving them to children on a regular basis is madness.

    Thank God there is another 7 years of recession ahead of us, more people will get sick of consumer culture and make an actual change.

    I gotta go clean my carpet with Mountain Dew now.

    I don't necessarily buy organic but fresh, healthy food as regional as possible. Have been reducing my meat consumption drastically and about 90 % of the stuff I eat is cooked freshly at home. Once in a year I feel the need to eat one of these:

    Yea.
    I know I am preaching to the converted here, but it is so much cheaper to make food with fresh ingredients than buy processed. This woman at work who basically only eats yellow, beige and brown foods* (and the fluorescent pink stuff they put on chicken balls at Chinese food spots) was amazed that I make my own pasta sauces....and that they're not all red. It takes 15 minutes and $3!!!

    Seeing other people's groceries is as fascinating (and sometimes as depressing) as seeing their living spaces.


    *not on purpose or anything, that's just her range

    I try not to, but I'll still give into some high fructose corn syrup every now and then (read: still far too often). But aspartame, hell no...keep that poison off the market, let alone my plate.

    Have you tried making pasta sauce with pumpkin or red pepper as the vegetable base? They're both amazing. Just grab them when they're cheap and in season, roast, and puree. Then a little herb and spice action and you're in business (sage kills it with the pumpkin, and I usually go strong on the thyme with the red peppers).
  • bassiebassie 11,710 Posts
    Pumpkin and sage sounds amazing...especially with loads of butter and garlic over tagliatelle!

    I am not a bell pepper fan : /

    Yep, a lot of italian food is fast food in the best sense of the word. Very few fresh ingredients, short preparation time. That's why McDonalds has never been successfull in Italy (unlike France, where traditional cooking is really complicated and time consuming).

    my weakness is grapes and homekist oatmeal cookies.

    the + about the homekist cookies is their thinness. :puto:

    this thread really speaks to my heart....im definitely feeling where people are coming from and also that yall got weaknesses.
    i try to get my animal products small farm organic and local on the milk and eggs. rarely buy meats. big on fresh veggies,fruits, etc etc. Cooking meals daily brings me all kinds of joy

    but good lord do i have a sweet tooth.
    so many irresistible varieties of potato chips and sugar cereals.
    and cocacola is real nice with some rum
    who cares? live life and stop being rigid as long as youre health consciousness and not frequently eating like shit

    I just had a tripe stew called mocot?? at the in-laws the other day, it's like mondongo with white beans or something (never had mondongo so can't say exactly what the difference is). I put lots of tabasco on mine. Can't really go wrong with hotsauce.

    ^^^ That sounds killer.

    My weakness is Pork. I'll make a big batch of Carnitas or Pernil like once every two weeks. I can't imagine living without it.

    I usually have a cheat day once a week and that almost always involves some breakfast items with lots of maple syrup.

    The last few cheat days have consisted of a lot of fruit salad with chile powder and lime juice.

    I also *really* love those doritos tacos locos. No joke.
