Welcome Back!

Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back!

It's been a little while and like old friends reuniting after a long vacation it's nice to "see" you all again. Like after any break, it's share (or over-share if you like) time, tell me what you did this summer and more importantly, what did you eat???

It's been a tough season for some local produce as we had an entire month of rain this past June, the corn was late and I hear maple syrup is going to be on the expensive side this fall.

An emerging trend in food consumption is a true focus on quality v.s quantity. The perfect amount of something really good is always better than a heaping amount of low quality-over-processed garbage.

Yesterday I was at the deli picking up some rolls while I was having some cheese sliced, 1/2 pound of Boar's Head Lacy Swiss, 1/2 lb of white American and six slices of Muenster. Given the type and frequency of sandwiches consumed in my house that will last about ten days. A woman stepped up to the counter right next to me and said "what's the cheapest bologna you have? I'll take a half pound". I looked to my right and saw her grocery cart (they are mesh and rather see-through), she had Kellogg's Nutrigrain bars, Annie's organic Mac& Cheese, bananas, oranges, organic milk and organic apple juice. I can safely assume she was buying with a child (or child's palate) in mind. I wondered why she didn't continue the theme and make a better choice of sandwich meat?

So, I'm not judging, just wondering, why not just put the good stuff in your sandwich?
