So, I’m sitting here eating my, (admittedly late), breakfast of French Toast. It’s made with store-bought whole-wheat bread, which means that it’s pretty much white bread in a different bag. Speaking fo bags, it comes in a bag within a bag, but that’s another whole post. Back to the breakfast, it’s definitely not a Food Matters style breakfast. It’s better than bacon & eggs, but it could be a lot better, and I’m thinking that I’m generally not thrilled with the variety of what I eat in the morning. Oatmeal is great, but I don’t want it every day, toast is, well, toast, (and I don’t have an amazing source of bread yet), and that’s pretty much all I eat for breakfast. Every once in a while we make an omelette, which is more like fried vegetables with some egg mixed in, but that takes a while and I’m usually in a hurry in the morning.
I’ve also come to notice that eating like food matters had become a bit more time-consuming in general, (or at least it seems that way). I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of days now and have come to a realization: I need to reboot my system. When we started out we had a system that always had vegetables chopped in the fridge, stock in the freezer, and more. We’ve let that lapse and as a result are struggling. We need to start pre-preparing vegetables in quantity, making stock, and planning and even pre-preparing some meals when possible. This won’t always be possible, but when it can be done it should.
Time for a reboot.
