1. I enjoy the break from screens and by the desire to make loved ones happy and full.
2. I have a good sense at the supermarket of what I have and what I need.
3. Stews and soups, seared meats, pastas, rice and stir frys, and salads and sandwiches, tacos and nachos, occasionally sushi. Oats and eggs for breakfast, fruit and cheese/crackers for snacks.
4. I prefer meats and veggies and fruits.
5. a) The basic mirepoix (celery, carrots, onions) adds a good base to many dishes. Prepping it takes ten minutes. Throw into a pot or pan, saute, and start adding other ingredients. Potatoes and rice and meats and it's an easy stew with water. Adding other veggies and meats without water is an easy stir fry. b) I try to grocery shop only every two weeks. It forces me to finish things in week 2 that need to be finished.
