When I first tell people about this self-imposed grocery deprivation, their response is nearly predictable: "What are you going to do for fresh fruits and vegetables?" I don't quite know how to respond. For thousands of years humans have gone long periods of time without fresh fruits and vegetables; it's called winter. It's really only been in the last hundred years or so that we have had the luxury of fresh produce year round.
While the fresh stuff is nice, I don't quite feel deprived. We have lots of canned and frozen stuff on hand. I have also planned on bartering for what we need. This weekend I traded with my sister, Charlotte, for the lovely grapes you see above. In exchange for the grapes, I gave Char some powdered cheese sauce mix.
Anyone else want to try the cheese sauce mix in exchange for something? Fruits and veggies are good, but I would also love some chicken. Just let me know and I will work out how to get it to you.
I made it into the blog--woot, woot! Plan on using the cheese sauce tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteI am sure that making it into my blog is the best thing that has happened to you all week. Thanks again for the grapes. Kimball is a happy camper.
