I got really hungry today and decided to make an omelette. Not just any omelette, but a healthy one. Whatcha mean? All omelettes are healthy, aren’t they? As I began my food search at home, my stomach decided that I couldn’t do this half-heartedly or take time to go shopping, so I got to work immediately.
I first grabbed four fresh Omega-3 eggs out of the refrigerator, spied the left over salad, decided that the greens were perfect for my omelette and a half-eaten pack of white-sliced mushrooms, some left over old cheddar cheese, a half head of celery from last week, cut up a week old garlic bud, and some potatoes left over from last year’s crop. Mixed it all up with a little fresh milk, sprinkled black pepper, and hot red curry powder we picked up in Grenada almost two years ago, and voila my huge omelette was ready to mow down.
As I settled down to fill my two hollow legs, I mused how much tastier and healthier this would have been if I would have put in only fresh local Lanark County herbs, spices, farm eggs and vegetables from the Herb Garden and our local farmer’s markets. Wow! I could have had a better, fresher, more nutritious omelette and helped out our local economy at the same time.
I am committed (after this meal) to endeavour to eat healthier, and to help share our community’s responsibility in the support of locally grown organic foods as much as possible. My main focus will be to engage myself and others to pursue the local farmer’s produce markets, and disengage mine and others of our plastic bottled water bottles. Current statistics indicate that 45% of the water is awfully expensive, ordinary tap water anyway.
Have you ever thought about how your water affects the success of your meals?
I have been using a five-stage premium reverse osmosis drinking water treatment system for 17 years that has revolutionized my hydration habits. Uniquely designed to produce up to 175 litres per day of only pure clean H2O that doesn’t leave an aftertaste of plastic while still removing the taste of chlorine and all dissolved contaminants for only pennies per day. Try to get that out of a vending machine, eh? I also purchased locally food-grade stainless steel refillable drinking bottles for my family that completely replaced any plastic status symbol. You should too, try the Granary in Carleton Place.
Maybe like me you will upgrade your ordinary tap water by investing in this viable premium, lower cost water alternative. Contact me for details on how to drastically improve your home water source for your whole family, before you purchase another 18 litre jug or plastic shrink wrapped case!
What are you buying for $5 a week anyways?
