Ok. I'll say it. Whole wheat, organic, GMO free spaghetti is completely and totally disgusting. You can inform Mrs. Carb that home made whole wheat spaghetti noodles are even healthier and taste better! That's saying, of course, that she learns how to make it the proper way...of course. Fresh home made noodles can be much better than anything you buy in the store...organic or non-organic. Time consuming though. I suppose the same holds true for many things made completely from scratch. I was reminded that I should thank my wife and be very grateful to her the other day. She had spent 5 hours in the kitchen making dinner, so when I asked if she had done anything that day...and she glared at me a little...I knew I had gone the wrong direction. I remembered something (and sometimes we forget the same thing over and over again...though we shouldn't) I should always remember...that it can be hard work putting together a good home made meal at times, depending on what it is, especially if you grind your own wheat and other things. She had spent the day in the kitchen. I did remember to tell her that the meal was absolutely fabulous and fantastic though. anatess2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to find them tasty. I have a grandson allergic to Twinkies. Luckily he doesn't really like them. We still do not know what it is inside of them that he is allergic to. When he eats them he breaks out into one giant Hive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't buy anything labeled 'organic', but this is a huge time saver for us as well. I think I'm too frugal to be willing to pay for actual home delivery, at least with our current income. I plan to do this this summer when, for the first time ever, I'm going to do my long travels without my kiddos... I'm gonna do the grocery shopping online for the kiddos to pick up and I'll have the meal prep list prepared for them. Then I know they're not ordering pizza everyday.

Yeah, well, we signed up today. At the Farmers' Marker where I am drenched in hipster sweat. And they even offset our sign-up cost with a basket of fresh, weird produce. Honestly, I don't know if it's healthier or if they're actually organic, but it sounded convenient and may prevent us from running out of Foot Path's milk at midnight on Saturday night. Years ago we signed up for Winder Farms home delivery. I enjoyed the service. It was handy, and I made fewer trips to the grocery store. Then I quit my job and we couldn’t afford it any longer. I rather miss the convenience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
