I think my food is about 70-percent slow. I'm interested in hearing more about how convenience foods came about. I think I remember hearing once that box mixes, etc, came about to aid the home cook because it wasn't fashionable to be a cook. Many housewives would think it was beneath them, so the quicker the meal could be prepared with less "effort" the better. That makes some sense, but it doesn't match the family legends I have thinking back to my grandmothers. So who knows, but they both liked recipes that call for Campbell's condensed soup. ;)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14917367078025519399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-18858752432424029112011-02-06T19:10:42.867-05:002011-02-06T19:10:42.867-05:00Great post, Ali!

Similar to salsa on salad, kind of. My food philosophy is a lot like yours. I've been eating pretty much everything homemade for at least the last three years. Another bonus to the "slow food" is that when you cook, it is calming and I think that helps a lot of people to not overeat. Also, the work and the smells and the entire experience of cooking and working with your hands is satisfying in a way that also helps you not eat as much - you feel as if you've already partaken of a meal. Or at least, I do. :)<br />Thanks for the link to the tea site - I just had my last cup of my new favorite tea which I think is seasonal!

At the moment I am loving "Youthberry", "Frutto Blanco Pearls", and "Go Go Goji". One of my friends likes to combine "tropical rooibos with jasmine pearls". Those are also on my list to order next. I love tea! ;-)<br /><br />thanks again,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-17746720545608005192011-02-06T09:14:45.222-05:002011-02-06T09:14:45.222-05:00Brandi,

It is nice to have my exercise out of the way but I would like it more if I didn't have to get up early since I am not a morning person. LOL<br /><br />I hate getting stuck! *ugh* I do drink tons of water just before and do some arm exercises too.<br /><br />A neighbor taught me the veggie pizza idea when I was in high school. I have loved it every since.<br /><br />talk to you later,<br />AliVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-62277238561333313802011-02-06T09:07:32.704-05:002011-02-06T09:07:32.704-05:00I have a tea at Teavana you might like.

I love berries!! <br />I am sorry you had to go get stuck at the doctor. I too am a horrendous stick. I ahve to get a remicade on Monday and I am not looking forward to it. Here is a littel advice. Flood yourself with water. As much as you can ingest before you go and they can sometimes float the veins and get a clean draw. Just a thought. <br /><br />BTW...your "veggie pizza" I thought I made that up....darn it! LOL<br />Great minds....<br />Have a great night<br /><br />B~crunchyveganwifelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486855455879424793noreply@blogger.com
