Small Dishes and Eating where you are ...

I was recently chatting with a friend about small dishes, buying food frequently, generally eating low volume high quality food. It reminded me of an entry I wrote when I was back in Seattle, about how you eat where you are . In Seattle I was in the international district, and eating japanese. Lots of fish, seaweed etc. Also living above a groc store -- shoped every night. Definetly the mode of eating she was discussing.

But now I live in New Mexico, not particularly close to a grocery store -- certainly not close to a gourmet one with lots of fresh ingrediants. I cook a lot more starch - rice, potatos, oatmeal. And cook more out of the pantry -- rice, potatos, oatmeal. Things that keep. Things that start frozen -- also things that end up frozen, so we can lay them away and eat them at a later date. That means we cook a lot more food so that it can feed us for multiple days - and days in the future.

It's a very different style of eating but I still eat well, and like what I eat.
