We had a lot of "Whoops" moments this week. It was hard to determine a definition for "rot." For example, baking powder loses it's leavening effect as it ages but it never really rots (we ended up deciding that counted as rotting because it's food purpose deteriorated). Salt was another tricky one. If salt is exposed to moisture it hardens but it does not rot. Apparently, it can be broken apart and be just fine (we determined salt was out, but we accidentally used it a few times). We made our own wings this week with homemade bar-b-que sauce and blue cheese dipping sauce. AMAZING. Then we realized that vinegar (in our organic ketchup) never rots. Another WHOOPS. I took pictures of the beginning of our wing-making experience but was so excited to eat them that I forgot to take pictures of the finished product.
Happy Fourth of July everyone! Our mission today is to find hamburger buns we can eat, I hope stores are open today because we did not plan ahead on this one......
For next week our rule is:
Eat foods made from ingredients that you can picture in their raw state or growing in nature. At least we can eat salt because I can definitely picture those Salt Lake City salt flats.
PS: We are dog-sitting my childhood puppy this week and I have to include a picture of him because I think he is the prettiest and best dog in all of the land. Here he is playing in the meadow next to our house:
