I bought these damned mushroom for a bison and mushroom dish and the stupid shrooms are slimy... after one day in the crisper.

That's fast. I've had them last up to 4 days before. You need a couple of cans as a backup source.
I find I have to pick and choose so carefully what to eat first, what lasts the longest, how many days to buy for. I try to only go to the store once a week. Vegies and fruits are getting so expensive these days, and in the winter some things in the produce section are already crap by the time they get to the store.
That supper dish sounded good. I like both bison and shrooms.

The way i see it is that people really do not need that much food to eat really to live.
We all in the west could cut down our eating and we still would be ok and able to live. I know you may not like to hear that, but it is true. I have cut down on my eating alot over last few years, and you can survive on very little amounts.
But i agree most food in big stores today in uk is not as nice as it was, but you still have to eat, and drink, and the ptb know this, and they know you just have to accept it.

WoW! You must have a huge family.
I spend about 40 euros every two weeks to eat and drink. Less when my garden is harvestable.
Am I doing something right?edit on 25/1/2011 by nerbot because: spellig mistale

That meal sounds so good. I would say you're healthy because you're making real homemade food. Up here, the meat has gotten cheaper, and the vegies way more expensive. I only buy meat on sale though.
When I buy leaf lettuce, I sprinkle with a tiny bit of water, and then put it in an airtight plastic bag, with lots of air in the bag. The bottom shelf is where it sits, it doesn't fit in the crisper. It gets it's own little environment that way. It seems to last a long time that way.
Instead of regular house plants, I have growing parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme ( I know, sounds like a song), and mint. Next year I need to expand my indoor herbs. I should see if I can get a tomato plant growing indoors through next winter.
Just read your above post. Our grocery up here doesn't have the sprinklers, but they sit things on crushed ice. Carrots and other root vegies have to be dry for storage, I now wrap them in paper towels when I first store them in the crisper.
Lettuce is OK with the water, but it needs to be in airtight container, air + water is bad for lettuce.edit on 25-1-2011 by snowspirit because: addededit on 25-1-2011 by snowspirit because: editor stole my carrots.
