It been 28F all day with freezing dizzle...I was go to Harbor Fright, Tramlaw, TSC, and Kroger today but my truck has no heater so it not safe for other drivers if I went. <LOL> My front deck has more salt on it then I use have cook with in the last 12 months. Still learning this No Salt diet the doctors got me on. Boy food tastes terrible without at least some salt.
A little off topic .
I have been on a low salt diet for decades.
The big change was nuking the veggies
So now just about all cooking is done in the microwave ( yes I have 3 at home & 2 in the workshop )
Nuked veggies taste a whole lot better than boiled or baked ones and after you do some testing to work out the exact amount of cooking that suits you, there is perfect veggies with every meal.
The "advised" cooking times were a long way away from the way I like them so I ended up with sticky notes on the side of each one with actual cooking times for the veggies I cook.
However most of what we eat we grow and there is a massive difference between the taste of what comes out of the garden & what you buy fresh or frozen .
What is even better is because we now grow, the diet changes with the seasons where as before we basically ate the same menu all year round .
What was amazing was the root veggies as supermarkets only buy veggies that are large & heavy because they are sold by weight.
The taste of a 3" long carrot , turnip, parsnip or sweede was a real revelation as was eating carrot tops & sweet potatoe leaves.
