Some of it is focused on post-partum, but anyone can benefit, especially if you have chronic pain issues.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-522357892777101972017-01-23T13:23:20.366+03:002017-01-23T13:23:20.366+03:00I remember reading an article about 50's (?) h...I remember reading an article about 50's (?) housewives and how shopping consumed their days since they would go out and get fresh groceries each day, cook it all, etc. Yes, it would be time-consuming. I wouldn't mind if only it were fresh. Normally I just select meat based on the packing date, and it's rarely the same day.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283395756742923658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-15945280494101988752017-01-20T06:29:38.566+03:002017-01-20T06:29:38.566+03:00I was just thinking I need to look at some of the ...I was just thinking I need to look at some of the blogs on your side bar (I'll be avoiding "Fit Mommies" however, as it is too late for me.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2949422246633548404.post-82579470868604871452017-01-20T06:28:21.900+03:002017-01-20T06:28:21.900+03:00Ha!

One of the things I actually enjoyed about Russia was that it WAS rather "minimalist" - You didn't seem to see the steady "lure" to buy things that no one needs (i.e. sausage keeper). Here you now see all sorts of special vegetable "keepers" that look like the vegetable - onions, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. The thing is, after you cut some of it, it's no longer the shape of the container, so that's a moot point. <br /><br />Strangely, the other day I was just thinking that we'd be better off buying groceries as we would in Russia (or NYC, for that matter) - just what you need for the day - but fresh and without all the needless packaging. At least when I lived in NYC, there were specialty shops for everything - bread, dairy, meat, produce, fish, and then the much smaller "grocery store" was not a place you needed to go all that often. I can't hardly do that here, because all of the individual shops I'd like to go to are spread all over the place. Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.com
