They have enigmatic names that are hard to get right, like DNA and CPR and properotters and Vitamin Why and diefoxyboxyribbonnuclear acid. I can't remember what they are all for now, which I gather is an Ominous Sign and Not To Be Taken Lightly. I think they will stop my joints getting creaky and my vision getting blurry and my brain packing up completely, or something. The brain part worries me a bit, if possibly not as much as it should do; but I feel I should make an effort. So all these bottles of capsules cost a lot of money but the things make me feel sick if I consume a whole bunch of them at one time. I haven't eaten any of them for days.
If I'm honest I prefer the ones like these

that came out of the garden.
Oh look, there's a cat under that bench.
I have to agree I far prefer the natural items.
ReplyDeleteYep. Eating actual food just feels better — though I do appreciate the boost offered by the supplements.
ReplyDeleteI take a few supplements when I can remember to do it. But there's nothing like a good salad, piled high with colorful, chopped fresh vegetables, sprinkled with a few nuts/seeds, and my favorite homemade blue cheese dressing tossed in. I know a vinaigrette would be a healthier choice, but oh well. Do you ever eat raw salads? With any kind of dressing?
ReplyDeleteI love this time of year - eating fresh-from-the-garden, thanks to generosity of gardening friends and our own two tomato plants...
ReplyDeleteHello Julie B — I occasionally make vinaigrette but most of the time I cannot be bothered. I don't so much cook as throw things on a plate. So yes I do eat raw fruit and veg but more as a heap than a salad. Today for my supper I had strawberries, raspberries, radishes, 2 sticks of celery, half a Little Gem lettuce (small), a poached salmon fillet with herbs on it, a couple of slices of Jarlsberg cheese, and an olive. Just one olive. Don't want to overdo it.
ReplyDeleteHi Rebecca — yes, isn't it amazing how many servings of veggies one plant will give you!
Your "cooking" life sounds like mine these days. My health is very happy about this, as is my daily schedule.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe how much of the first sixty years of my life I spent in the kitchen. Hours a day. Now it's closer to fifteen minutes a day, some days less.
Freeeeeedom!!!!
It does free up a lot of time, doesn't it? A deep inertia overwhelms me when I think about recipes.
