Title: Re: Organic eating Post by Jon on Apr 6th, 2012 at 2:47am
Hi again
I am underwhelmed at the responses so far. I hoped that there were a few more serious foodies in QJ. Kerry's advice was solid and I am generally following his advice but I was looking for a bit more depth. Are Quetico fish mercury free? I personally believe if you don't eat organically, cancer is in your future and may be anyway from the carcinogenic bath industrial civilization living entails. The least you can do is make an effort not to ingest chemicals or put them on your skin. Canoe trip eating is easier when giving in to the temptation to eat a lot of processed, preserved foods but it degrades the experience for me. I have a dehydrator and have done ingredients for spaghetti and soups. I was really hoping to kick start a conversation with a few like minded foodies who have found great things that work for them to maintain their healthy eating habits while Quetico tripping. As much as personally like MT and very much would like to spend a day fishing with him in Kawnipi so I can explain to him in detail why, when Jesus comes back to earth he will for sure be a socialist community organizer, his hunting advice was not helpful to the conversation. I have one meal I do repeatedly. Spaghetti made by sauteing fresh onions and garlic in olive oil then adding H2O and re hydrating tomatoes first, then adding celery, green and red peppers with Italian seasonings. Then adding tomato powder (available at food co-ops) and more H20 if necessary and some red wine. After simmering for 10 minutes or so this is fantastic. Whole wheat organic noodles and some freshly grated Parmesan can be produced in prodigious quantity to make a 2000 calorie meal if needed. Jon Bratt Bird Island |
