It’s tough, you know? I’d like to keep a record of what I make each day, so that even when I don’t have the energy to style and light my food to my satisfaction (which is usually what it takes for a meal to make it into a blog post) I still have an account of how I used my box. But if I keep this record, I am forced to confront how much take-out and restaurant food I eat, along with the whole non-local, non-organic, packaging-heavy karma that stuff brings. But then, on the other hand, I have chronic fatigue and some days it’s awesome if I just get dressed, much less wash dishes and make food, so maybe it’s a boost, even, to see how much I do cook. Or maybe it’s just enough – a simple record, that was all this blog was ever meant to be.
