Today, I want to set a goal for myself: No fighting with the man, and to stop eating crap. The second bit has really failed, because all I've done since I woke up yesterday is eat. I really can't stop. However, I've found that if I have something healthy and crunchy, then I'm less tempted to snack. So maybe I should stock up on those Pogen Krisprolls I bought for a trial. They're healthy, really crispy and so so tasty on their own, even better with a light spreading of Philadelphia cream cheese. Sooooo tasty =D I've also just put on lunch. Oven roasted chicken portions, rubbed with salt, pepper and olive oil. They looked so yummy before I put them in, and I can't wait to see how they look once they're out. Although, what to have with them? Maybe stir-fry veg and a baked tattie if I can get hold of dad to take some new tatties home.
Honestly, there's nothing like having a supply of fresh, homegrown tatties to use in all my cooking. They're tastier than the ones you buy in the shops, and I know exactly where they've come from. Besides, there's none of this "organic" rubbish about them. Come on, it's impractical to grow it, because the costs are so high, and compared to the useable yield you get, it's pathetic and not worth the bother. Living on a farm has given me a taste of how it should really be done. None of this "organic" grain or straw or hay to feed our animals. How is nitrogen fertiliser bad, anyways? You're giving the plants EXACTLY what they need and get from the atmosphere. You're just giving them it in an easier form and they are able to get a lot more of it. I just don't agree with the organic thinking that this country has nowadays. It's all beef, chicken, pork or lamb. There is no difference in the animals. Let them eat what they want to eat, regardless of how it's produced. Our animals are tasty because they get good food and lots of it. They're not neglected and they don't want for anything because they're well looked after, allowed to go outside when they like, and have shelter if they want to use it. My dad must be one of the hardest working farmers, and the livestock are better for it.
Geez, that was a fair rant, but you get my point. There's no point in organic when you know what the animals are being given anyway. I just love tasty things, which is why I still write in this blog and enjoy reading other peoples findings about food and how to cook it, eat it and know when it's at it's best. I really do love my food, don't I? I think that's why I love eating, because I love flavours, colours, textures and mostly it just happens to be somewhat healthy. Or meat. I can't not eat meat. If I was told I could never eat meat again, I'd cry and go absolutely mental!
