Food Revolution

March 25th, 2010 at 06:42 pm

Just as a Follow Up to my earlier post:

Yesterday I went to Kohl's. I bought a wonderful blouse for my presentation. Between the clearance price and my 15% off coupon, the shirt was only $12.57. I love that store. The clothes are adorable and normal.

Just watched Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. I thought the show was really great. I know that the school lunches are really awful around here. My husband started packing his lunch after 1-2 days of school lunches. They are so inexpensive though! His meals cost $2.50 and most of the students get them free/reduced.

My grandma grew up in West Virginia and after the depression, she used her Home Economics degree to teach women how to clean clothes and cook "healthy" meals. Of course even with this most of her recipes are pretty heavy. My mother is always amazed that we cook from scratch, but most of my recipes are just easier that way.

    I gave someone my 1939 copy of Yankee Magazine's New England Cookbook. Those had some economical Depression-era and older recipes: squirrel pie, buckles, and other regional specialties. I cook from scratch too, but I don't trust nutritional labels.

    Your view of the clothing at Kohl's is very different from mine. I can't find ANYTHING that resembles "normal" there - not in my eyes. I just like plain and simple and all I see there is just outrageous. Funny how different points of view are.
