Welcome to the site!

I was inspired to start this blog after reading Michael Pollan's book "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto." Pollan argues that a lot of the food that we eat today is not really food - instead, Pollan argues, we're consuming "edible foodlike substances" which are "no longer the product of nature, but of food science."
I want to eat real food! But eating real food is not always cheap nor is it easy, so that's why we need each other for advice and encouragement.
Feel free to share your adventures (or misadventures...) in growing, purchasing, cooking, and/or eating food. Any and all stories are welcome! Just as long as they relate to real food in some form or fashion. And don't forget to include your recipes! Share away, everyone!

I love baking with honey.

I bought this 5 lb jar of honey at the farmer's market in Waukesha for $25. With the way honey prices are right now, I was pretty psyched. The first jar I bought was $23, but I gave it to my parents because my dad loves honey and was totally eyeing it up. When they went home, they left me some cash and a note that said, "Honey Money, Honey." Haha.

    Karlye! Best idea EVER! Uff-da!

    I will definitely contribute to this soon. Working at a Food Bank and doing gleaning has given me all sorts of food-related thoughts and ideas. However...the corn and apples won't glean themselves, so I'll post when I can catch a break!

    On the note of honey...my uncle swears by this. He says, buy local honey and you will become more immune to allergens from your area. It makes sense - the bees are playing around in the flowers, and when you take that stuff in your honey, then your body can make antibodies to that stuff. Well, of course, it makes sense to me, the astronomer, but let's ask Dr. Karlye...

    It does make sense! I think. You're going to have to wait another 7+ years to ask Dr. Karlye, though... But I'm sure your uncle is right on. I will continue buying massive amounts of local honey.
