If you had to rely on what you caught/grew yourself, would you be well fed?

I've sown some spinach recently, it's about 2 inches tall. Cool Hopefully I'll get a crop before the Autumn! Rolleyes

Spinach isn't meat so you can't eat it on your diet. Tongue

I can't eat goosegogs or strawberries either,but I do at the plot! Smile I eat 97% carnivore, but I aint anal about not being 100%. I can't eat liver or mince without a bit of onion either! I class onion & garlic as 'flavouring', not a veg! Rolleyes I use fresh lemon juice to 'flavour' my drinking water which keeps my gut acidity right and gives me a bit of vitamin C. Cool

I've always figured psychologically that if it doesn't go on a plate it doesn't get 'counted'.  Biscuits and chocolate on the hoof and cheese during meal prep is a great way to cheat  Big Grin

When preparing cheese, have you noticed how the block keeps needing to be squared off before it can go back in the fridge?

Oh most definitely  and if there's a new cheese I haven't tried in the shop  I've just got to try it.  The amount of money I've wasted on cheese that I didn't like must be astronomical.

I don't dislike ANY cheese. My  favourite is Gorgonzola or what I used to call 'sweaty socks' cheese when my Dad used to eat it! Big Grin Kato's favourite is mild coloured chedder cos he's a wuss! Rolleyes
