Let me tell you a little story about acting. I was doing this Showtime movie, Hot Ice with Anne Archer, never once touched my per diem. I'd go to Craft Service, get some raw veggies, bacon, Cup-A-Soup... baby, I got a stew going.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going

Another good thing is if you drink soda, set up a cut off time in the day and switch over to water; it'll save you a little money and you'll won't get as wired.

Fruit-wise bananas and pineapple are fairly cheap, use the first in cereal and the second in yogurt or something. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=46152 2011-02-18T13:08:18 -05.00 Zoso471 46 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=7&threadid=46152 2011-02-18T12:16:00 -05.00 Zoso471 46 Originally posted by: AllYourBase

I have no idea how to take this, but it's awesome advice. I think. Or an awesome porn story. Needs more cowbell either way.


And as has been said time and time again, it doesn't frakkin' matter about organic or not. That label is expensive just for the sake of bringing in a huge profit. I'm talking about nutrient value only here, not whatever hippy-sticker qualifiers they're going for about pesticides or happy cows or whatever. A carrot is a carrot is a carrot. It is worth keeping in mind that local will be fresher tasting most of the time just because it can be picked later and delivered faster. Again nutrient wise there isn't enough difference to write home about, but it's worth remembering your local farmers markets if you can. The prices aren't (at least here) too much higher than grocery store prices when the growing season is on.

Oh and make sure you get your fiber. Good for the pooper, and that's important you know.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of mushrooms...

Yes, they pick mushrooms, but berries too.  They have this whole foraging thing going on.  I don't mean living near berries either, they'll go out into the forest specifically to do this, even if it's not anywhere close to where they live.

Hmmm, you have a Slavic background (Polish, Russian, etc.)? That's a big Slavic thing to do, especially for the older generation that would be most of our grandparents.

Well, I'm Ukrainian on my dad's side, but it was my mom's dad I did this with.  Never knew my dad's dad, he died in '85, I was 3.  Pretty sure I met him, but it was long before I ever got to a point I'd remember him.  No, it's my mom's dad that I was telling the story about, and he's Italian

I'm pretty sure picking berries is a big thing to do for anybody that lives near wild grown fruit...
