| Did you make the yogurt? (Yes) |
Years ago, a friend introduced us to a game that has since become a fun and thought-provoking tradition in our household. We call it the "Did You Make" game.
Whenever she came over for a meal, she would ask us if we had made various components of the dish we were serving.
For example, if we were having burritos, she would ask:

For example, if we were having burritos, she would ask:
- Did you make the wraps? (Yes)
- Did you make the salsa? (Yes)
- Did you make the yogurt? (Yes)
- Did you make the cheese? (No)
- Did you make the Mexi-fries? (Yes)
- Did you make the guacamole? (Yes)
Although we've since moved away from our curious friend, we continue to play the game between the two of us.
When we sit down to a meal, we run through what we made and what we didn't.
When we come across something we didn't make, we decide if it should go on our list of things to make in the future.
Our goal is to always make more and more of what we eat, striving for greater self-sufficiency and appreciation for the food we consume.
More fun, tastier meals, and less unhealthy highly processed killer foods from the Big Food Industrial Complex.

Today: tomato salad with tuna. Bought tomatoes (nothing edible from garden yet), but not prepacked, and not used a plastic bag offered by shop to bring them home. Tuna canned. The worst part but DH loves it. Onions said bio by shop. Dressing, yes home made. Oil, vinegar, mustard, salt pepper, arlic. Nothing comparable available in shop anyway.
ReplyDeleteMost excellent! Yes, we do a lot of this too. The other game we play is "So, what would this cost if we ate it at a restaurant?"
ReplyDeleteA very good exercise. We have also done that in reverse - "how many groceries could we buy with what this restaurant meal costs?"
