Sundays

The past couple of weekends have been spent getting over colds, trying to stay warm, and baking lots of bread. For Christmas we received a book called, In Defense of Food. The logo of the book is eat food, mostly vegetables. Kit read most of it and I read bits and pieces he marked for me. It talks about all of the preservatives in our food and how processed our food has become. It also states that food should be eaten slowly and enjoyed. He says we should not eat ingredients with high fructose corn syrup, modified corn starch, enriched flour, and xanthan gum. So we have been trying to buy foods with out those products while not spending too much money. It is very hard to find products these days with out these products. We always thought of ourselves as healthy eaters and tried to eat well, but everything has at least one of these products even the expensive bread. So we are now eating only homemade bread or co-op bought bread. We are also trying to eat meals that take longer to make and more natural products. Only if we had CSA's or even traders joes near us. Ah well hear are some pictures of our Sundays.

Having a picnic dinner with yummy local wine by the fire

French bread made by Kit and froze for the future. The Bread machine in the back, making yummy wheat bread.

And Marcello looking sour

A big snow ice storm is headed our way. Hopefully no school tomorrow and more time for sewing, knitting and making bread!
