Cleaning our Food

Our diet is limited to whatever the markets have available. We try and get as many vegetables as possible. That usually means a whole lot of carrots, potatoes, bell peppers and lots of candy. Since we aren't washing our produce in the Clorox and water combo we are washing and peeling most of our vegetables. Especially our carrots and potatoes. The amount of dirt on them is mind boggling. We also have lots of fresh eggs and I say fresh because there are still feathers and poop clinging to them.

Carrots and Swedish Turnips.










Amy's favorite pickles and my not so tasty instant coffee.








Fresh bread for less than 60 cents.










Carrots before cleaning.

  1. Hey! Fun blog. If you guys can find Czech bread, it's a few tugrick more and is a better bread, I think. Looks similar, big and round, but usually more of an actual crust, and softer and firmer inside.

    You know what's funny, I was trying to remember this kind of bread, and before my brain got to Czech, I thought of Turkish and Polish. Weird. Anyway, finally got ot the right country. And it's just "chex" talx in mongolian.

    Wow, this was a really long comment about bread.
