well, i guess a really good start would be to ask, how ripe, or not ripe, should my fruits and vegetables be? obviously if i’m gonna cook with it right away, ripe is the way to go, but if i’m not going to be able to get to it for a day or two, what should i be looking for?

then, the next question would obviously be, how do i take care of my produce. i have crisper drawers with dials, but i have no idea how to use them.

are there any foods/brands that are non-perishable (soups and so on) but not full of preservatives and sodium? that seems to be impossible and the more i eat them, the more its all i can taste.

i hope that helped. i feel redundant redundant redundant.

[...] Yesterday’s post focused on how we can use nutrition labels to gauge what we eat. It briefly mentioned that calories are units of energy – but today I’ll explain what calories actually do. [...]

Hi Steph! There are numerous ways you can buy fresh foods and keep them for longer. I’ll write a post about it soon! Maybe you’d like to ask a few questions that I can answer to get the ideas flowing.

i wish i could take you grocery shopping with me. and have you in my kitchen when i cook. i tend to buy packaged soups (i.e. ramen and thai kitchens and kitchens of india) which are full of preservatives and sodium. i tend to shy away from picking up fresh fruits and veggies coz my roommate is too shy to share with me, so i can’t eat anything fast enough. aaaand, i tend to pick things that are either too ripe, or not ripe enough.

aka, i waste a lot, so i pick things that i cannot waste at all and those things tend to not be very healthy for us.

but something tells me, you have a better handle on these things and are quite useful at the grocery store and in the kitchen.

le sigh.

perhaps i’ll pick it up by way of this awesome blog. because CLEARLY, you know what you’re talking about.

and so … i wait!
