We did this
once before. Feb 1 you eat 'a' foods, Feb 2 'b', and so on. I didn't look at the old list until I was done, didn't repeat much, although apparently "kinds of kale" struck my fancy back then, too. I did repeat one of the 'z' foods, a turkish dish involving carrots, lentils, and olive oil. The above photo is from 'n' day, noodles, nut sauce, nori, nasturtium. There were some good discoveries: I liked the Ethiopian dishes, the nut sauce on pasta was good, carrots good.
