So I begin the second full week of January ready to put a bit more into the planniing end of changing. The seal on our chest freezer has come loose which should be expected since the freezer is over 26 years old. We purchased it at Montgomery Wards. Remember them? Ah. Something the current generation will never know. It has served us well and moved with us five times. It is still holding its own as far as keeping things frozen but I am now on a time crunch in using up or disposing of its contents. I'm sure there are things in the bottom of it that will leave me wondering.
The holiday sweets are about gone with just a bit of fudge remaining and I must admit that they did not have their same allure to me this year. Like so many decisions, adjusting one's mind really does cause everyting else to come along.
Recent articles in various news reports and journals reveal more and more the contamination of our food supply. It serves to strengthen my resolve to eat cleaner and really look at what food I bring into my home. My choices seem to vary each week as I keep reading labels. I have been unable to find saltine crackers made in the USA. They are only distributed by American companies and so we have been without saltines for over four months. That just means that I will need to find an alternative. I did find some oyster crackers at Aldi's that were made in the USA but a visit there last week shows only distributed by products again. Time to get the bread machine going. Who can disagree that the smell of fresh baked bread is much superior to opening crackers from a box?
I hope each of you are thinking more about your food supply each day. If you find saltines made in the USA, please let me know.
