Just watched Supersize Me and was absolutely disgusted. Just.. gross. In fact, it disgusted me enough that I'm really, really tempted to try an experiment in January: not eat out at all.
I'm wondering if I can pull it off - everything would have to be made at home, and I could take it to silly little extremes to make it a little more entertaining:
- If I can make it at home, I cannot buy it (bread, tortillas, pasta, frozen foods, instant meals like tuna helper, canned good like chicken broth or soup, alcohol - hey, I still have gallons of mead in the storage closet! - and non-alcoholic drinks like juice and whatnot)
- Leftovers can only be kept for the nutritionist-recommended three days (I'll have to look that up for sure)
- If someone wants to go out for food, I have to offer to make food
forthem as well instead of just declining; either cooking food in their kitchen or going shopping to make the meal for us, and - I'll have to record everything, with as much pictures, prices, and recipes as possible.
I'd have to pick up a couple of things just to help myself out. Pasta rollers, ingredients, dish soap and dishwasher detergent, stuff like that. Some more tupperware, sandwich baggies, and plastic wrap would help, too. I can probably borrow my mom's pasta rollers, which would be the biggest expense, but does anybody want to 'sponsor' me with some of the other things? Already got a bunch of food from James. :3
Also, if this just plain uninteresting, I'll leave it out of here
