produce

[cassidyrose]

I am routinely astounded by the sheer amount of produce this family goes through in one week. I always think I am buying too much but then it is *gone*.

I fear the teen years.

Onward.

I fear for your teen years, too. I was just relating to someone how, one year, when both boys were teens, I received a Christmas present from the manager of Safeway: a personal note from her and a $100 gift certificate.

This screamed, "You have spent way too much money at the grocery store."

I remember that, Kathy. I fear we are headed in the same direction.

When those years arrive...Let's just get a huge pot of pintos, a sack of masa and a tortilla press...and tell them to get busy.

Pretty much.

Teach them to garden large scale?

And it's cause you are awesome super mom and do all that cooking! I'm tryin, but not as cool as you. :-)

Ah, thanks. :-)

It is true that a whole lot of veggies get eaten up in what I cook, but the fruit...the fruit just *goes*.

Oh boy you have some fun years ahead.

[cassidyrose.livejournal.com]

I know!

Two boys? Oh yeah. :/

[cassidyrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and they are three years apart which means they will be teenagers together. Seriously, the burn rate of food around here blows me away sometimes. S. is a berry hound and one day we have berries, then poof, gone!

Wow, I hope I can read all about it on LJ! :)

Is your older son old enough to cook yet?

[cassidyrose.livejournal.com]

I am sure I will be reporting on it!

S. is just 4.5, so he doesn't cook, but he helps me cook and he certainly does basic food prep for himself like washing fruit, getting his own cereal, etc.
