So, the past few months I have been peetering (teetering)? dangerously close to full blown vegetarianism. The recent crisis of the rising cost of food is the straw in the camel's back, for me. It's easy to feel disconnected from the severity of this crisis and going veg is a way I can remain with those who are feeling the full effects. And I don't mean veg with tofurki patties. I'm talking simple grains and seasonal veggies, or the half rotten ones from the discount section. I feel strongly called to a life of solidarity with the poor and in my insular posh "rich" north america, this is one tiny way I even come close to living with my proverbial hand in hand with their proverbial hand. or something like this.
I am going to bulk buy organic pulses this year and try to experiment more with different sources of protein. I will try my best to share all that I learn in the world of cheap, delicious, socially concious food.
My husb wants to try to go vegan 2 days a week. We have quickly learned that almond milk and tahini are going to be staples on monday and tuesday.

I enjoy reading your blog; there are so many ways one can cook creatively and nutritiously with less meat in our diet. I am just reading a book called "The Longevity Diet" and there is a list of the top 25 foods that one should have on a regular basis; and not one item is a meat product.
