What's in your refrigerator?

Colleagues,

We’ve gone through times here when we planned out our meals for the week and did all the grocery shopping at one time. This way of eating is sort of like big change:
  • We make a long-range detailed plan
  • We sink a lot of resources into the plan up front (time and money spent at the grocery store)
  • We inevitably wind up not following through with the plan
  • We have a bunch of wasted resources sitting in the fridge
 
If you can always follow your plan, then congratulations. Most of us can’t. We get invited out, or work late, or are too tired, and a meal goes unmade. Then we have leftovers pile up, so we skip making another meal on the plan.
 
So, what’s the alternative?
 
There are several other ways but what seems to work well for us is to identify one or two meals we want to make, get the ingredients for them, and then see what happens. This is the strategic action way of eating:
  • Invest a little time planning
  • Commit fewer resources
  • Adapt your plan as you go based on the results
 
I hope you eat well tonight.
 
Do good and be well,
 
Frederick
