Chia, in between mouthfulls of rabbit food spoke elsewhere...  "I stuff my veggie sandwiches with a good handful of spinach or other greens. Salads, sometimes, but I'm more a sandwich plus fresh fruit person."

Good call.  I'm not much of a sandwich person right now.  Part of my problem is I don't want to put a fridge on the boat.  Too bulky and uses too much energy, and I'm too dang lazy to use my icebox more than a day or two.  I'm stuck buying potatos and onions, with greens a bit at a time as I uses them.  I found a nice clumping of miner's lettuce the other day.  I think I'm more likely to get my veggies browsing style right now.

I love fresh fruit, and need to stop by the farmer's market again soon.

One of the first things I did when I bought my boat in November of '06 was discover the farmer's market.  I would pop up there in the morning and get two giant apples and a big cup of Earl Grey tea.  Nothing beats cold november apples :-)

I saw some West Bend waterless cookware demonstrated, and was amazed at how flavorful and tasty the veggies were cooked that way.  I discovered a whole new world of yams that way.  They are actually pretty dang good after all.  

I may get a West Bend skillet, but dang are those pricey!

I get the sprouted grain

I get the sprouted grain bread from Grocery Outlet, when it's stocked. Only $2 per loaf, there. No flour. Flax is my favorite loaf. Also, you don't need a refrigerator for nut butters. And those apples slice nicely on a PB sandwich! So do bananas...YUM! Blackstrap molasses doesn't need refrigeration and adds important nutrients like calcium and iron, if you like the flavor.

Veggie Protein Sources:
2 slices of flax bread = 10 grams protein
2 tablespoons PB = 8 grams protein
1 large apple = 0 grams protein

Don't eat meat, ride a bike...that's how you can brake global warming, the head of the United Nation's Nobel Prize-winning scientific panel on climate change said...

Thanks

 I love blackstrap molasses.  I'll eat it right out of the bottle!  Nut butters the same way, grab a spoon and dig in.  In fact peanut butter and molasses together is quite tasty.  Ya know, I forgot all about the healty aspect of molasses.  Thanks!
