On Today's Menu

Today Eric, one of the interns at the house, decided to try and do all of weekly grocery shopping at Whole Foods instead of Costco. This is because the two of us want to eat more organic and local food, because it’s better for everything except our wallets. Usually, we would just go to Costco and buy things as they looked good, but today we planned a menu for the week. Unfortunately, due to obscenely high price of organic bacon, we had to change a lot of our meals around, and in the end we were both happy with what we purchased: close to 90% of the food was organic and nearly 50% was produced in New England. However, none of this would have happened if we weren’t flexible with our plans. Bacon was one of our staple foods, but we had to replace it with grass-fed organic liver. This saved us a ton of money and probably adds a ton of nutrition to our diets. Going into events with a plan is generally a great idea, but, in all likelihood, something will come up that derails the plan and leaves you hanging. I think that it’s best to hope that your plan will go through as directed, but don’t be afraid to do some informed freestyling when it doesn’t.
