Purple, Green, and Brown

Keeping this blog is helpful because it provides a clear picture of our current cooking/eating trends. I noticed while looking at today's meal and previous blog entries that recently we seem to be seeing a lot of purple, green, and brown. Today's menu: miso soup with onions and Okinawan potatoes (purple), napa cabbage and tuna stewed with soy sauce and sugar (green and brown), and mixed rice (purple). I remember hearing somewhere that the more colors you can incorporate into a meal the better, because it shows a good representation of different ingredients and nutrients. Maybe that will become my new theme for menu planning once I have graduated from my purple potato phase.
