Making organic your league



Recently a colleague had explained why organic is the way to go. So my interest in the book peaked when it said Frugal Budget.
Its a simple but effective list of things we can do in terms of procuring organic food. Growing your own is probably the coolest idea. Monsanto and farmer related cases regarding seeds are very interesting to follow, but I never spent time in thinking that organic label would not just be limited to the method of growing but to the seeds themselves. I found the easing into organic food idea starting from whats in the fridge very practical.
Paragraphs with sub titles format worked well in the book. I find that the reader is kept at a distance through the formal style. Few recipes shared or an anecdote or two about why the author made the transformation would let me engage with the book. As soon as I read 'Advice for Eating Well on A Tight Budget, from a Mom who's been there' article on NPR, I got to making the Garlicky kale salad

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
