Yes, there are many myths.
Beans and rice are cheap here, but fish is a lot cheaper, for example. Believe it or not, fresh vegetables are not cheap here, and we also get a lot of imported foods thanks of our failed economy--long story. Anyway, at the moment, with two jobs and etc., I have little time (and energy), but I try to make vegetable dishes everyday, vegetable milks... Little by little, lifestyle changes for the better if you put your mind to it.
Thanks so much for the tip on tempeh. I'll look into it ❤️
I know you guys have been put through the economic grinder. It's so sad. How tragic that you have to get so many imported fresh items. The people of your country are some of the strongest with the warmest hearts in the world from my experience on Hive. I hope sometime things can turn around and you can forget at least one of your jobs. I am tired with just one. Thank goodness for your talent in the kitchen that you can make some things from scratch.
I'm going to attempt bread soon inspired by your method. Crossing my fingers.😊
