The method sounds almost too simple — but to my astonishment, it worked.

It sounded both too good to be true, and like delirious freedom. I had to try it.

So for the last three weeks I’ve thrown out any attempt at planning ahead — except for a couple special Sunday suppers — and freewheeled it, shopping for our family of three at our local bodega as much as possible, and just for kicks, at a different grocery each week for whatever I can’t get there. I’ve bought things I wouldn’t normally, just to see what we can come up with — red cabbage here, bok choy there. And to my utter astonishment, it’s actually worked.In fact it’s become like a game.

Will I go back to menu planning when the world gets easier? Honestly, I don’t know why I would. If this can work in the dead of winter, imagine what’s in store when we can shop the summer farmer’s market!Dana McMahan
