*Cost...contrary to popular belief it is cheaper to eat fresh fruit, veges, breads, meat and the occasional baking or dessert treat than to buy readymade, prepackaged or processed foods.
*Health...it is nearly impossible to avoid nasties in processed foods...check out this site for info on trans fats...ugh!!!!

*Satisfaction...there is something deeply satisfying about serving up freshly homebaked bread with peach jam made the month before; or mango chutney on a lentil burger...now don't laugh, they are scrummy...really, truly...come visit and we'll make you some.
So what was on the lunch menu today?
Our one and only, lonely, mutant cucumber
Itty, bitty cherry tomatoes...the kids eat them like candy...okay these never got to the plates...cos y'know it is candy..."Must have candy"
A plateful of goodies...and a beautiful Princess
Provita crackers, cheese, tomato, cucumber, raisins, dates, mesclun salad and sunflower seeds.....mmmmm.
