Gotta Make a Plan

One of the hardest things about moving into eating whole foods--whole foods that you've cooked yourself, and preferably in season and raised in a sustainable manner--is that you have to plan ahead. At least, you have to plan if you are in your twenties with an active social life and the tendency to jump back and forth across a large lake, using two refrigerators and pantries.

This week, I have a soccer game on Wednesday (Go Sounders!), a concert on Thursday (ANDREW), a baseball game or a social engagement revolving around sour beers on Friday, a baseball game Saturday and a softball game Sunday. And, y'know, work.

Add to this the fact that I've been at my parents house and will be driving home six hours and not arriving til 10pm and it's a bit tough to be certain there will be a healthy, non-processed lunch on Monday.

But I'm tired of making excuses. Starting Monday morning, it's on. Now I'm off to peruse the cooking blogs in hopes of foods that are easily transportable...as well as hoping for a divine dreamlike revelation that informs me what I might be eating at lunch on Monday.

And I went to see Food, Inc tonight. More on that tomorrow.
