One of the smartest things I’ve done in life was to go to culinary school — not because I’m a chef, but because we eat like kings and queens every night with fresh ingredients and wonderful blends of flavor. I haven’t opened a box of processed food in years.

I don’t know if it will make me live longer, but at least we’ll go out eating well…

Yep, been doing the paleo thing, eating fresh veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, berries, shellfish, certain fish and only lean meat.

Only cook with olive oil, usually in air fryer, no rice, white flour, pasta dishes of any kind. No sweets.

Between that and keto lost 80lbs this year, never felt better.

(There is a t-shirt that says “health food phooey, at my age I need all the preservatives I can get”)

canned and processed food have their merits and places though

emergency supplies and longer term safe food supplies

and many side effects can be reduced by supplements

One of our sons went to a good culinary school, and he taught my wife some of his top recipes. He and a doctor friend taught me how to shop for good fresh food.

His motto was/is only buy fresh and real foods in season and don’t use poly syllable anything when cooking.

Olive oil, fresh Meyer Lemon from our tree, sea salt and fresh ground pepper are his basics in seasoning.

He taught my wife how to oven cook complete meals on parchment paper on/in a single cookie metal sheet. As the pot and dishwasher, I appreciate this. After dinner, throw the used parchment paper into the recycle container and wipe off the cookie sheet/pan, and load the other dishes into the dish washer.
