I can't add the dinner pictures yet. Why, you wonder? Because I'll be participating all week in the French Canadian version of the European show Come Dine With Me. It should be a hoot, but until the show is shown on TV, I can't say anything. So I will be uptating this week's dinners in about a month.

What is this blog about?
This is not a food blog.
Well, it kind of is. But mainly, it’s about the amount of money I use to feed myself, day after day. Why? Because I just don’t know. I (almost) never check prices when I buy food. I love to cook and I can easily feed six guests for less than 30 bucks (wine is extra, people), but I also spend ungodly amounts of money on grocery, then throw away a fifth of it. It has never been so easy to buy good food, but it often comes at a price. And it is even easier to buy cheap, unhealthy junk food that has an undeniable cost on our health. Where does my food budget go? How do the choices I make impact my budget, my health and the health of the planet?
