Things In My House Thursday # 25

I suppose that this is the type of post that could stand on its own, but I think we all know that I have a dismal track record posting outside of my meme.... and it IS about something IN my house.

I've gone through health food / organic / homeopathic - type phases for decades. I vacillate from totally committed "hippie / freak" to simply having made some good changes and being more aware.

One thing I am consistent about is reading labels. It's usually depressing.

While I was at the store yesterday, Mary called to say that she needed some of this:

sugar, dextrose, modified food starch, salt,

disodium phosphate and tetrasodium pyrophosphate,

diglycerides, yellow 5, yellow 6, artificial color, BHA.

YUMMY!!

How does this fit with the simple idea that you should recognize all the ingredients in your "food", be able to pronounce them, and either have them in your kitchen or be able to find them at your local grocery ?

Not very well.

But she needed it for one of her dessert concoctions.

Before you google it, here's the sugary, starchy, salty, phospatey, glyceridy, colored goodness:

Guess we're going to have to start making our OWN organic pudding. Recipes, anyone?

And, maybe, we should start dedicating some of our TIMHTs to our pantries. Muddy came close to this format when she posted about a single serving of mayo.
