Food

Hanging out at Midtown Coffee in Quincy, Ca. Rainy day. Reading, drawing, and this: Coffee: Ethiopian dark Grub: Cherry turnover

Found a can of this at C.A.N.: It’s delicious, smoky, and hot, man! I’ve been adding it to spice up my fixin’s and I’ve learned to moderate it.

Coffee: San Francisco Bay French Roast beans (Costco) Adulterated with: Kirkland Organic Virgin Coconut Oil Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter (unsalted)

I usually don’t like cooking in the Summer. Heats up my kitchen. Since I don’t have A/C I want to avoid this. Here is a solution. It’s kinda fun to play around with different food stuffs to cook. So far mostly it’s been veggies and chicken.

This seems tragic to me. Roughly one third of the food produced in the world for human consumption every year — approximately 1.3 billion tonnes — gets lost or wasted. 

Industrialized and developing countries dissipate roughly the same quantities of food — respectively 670 and 630 million tonnes. 

I occasionally work for a local food bank called Community Action Network. It’s a great service to a community that has people in need. They distribute food for free to folks that need it. I like to help out and I get some free food. I’m amazed how much overproduction of food there is floating around. The are a lot of canned goods, but loads of fresh foods too. Much of it is approaching expiration. If you go look you can find surprises there.
