Evaluation of our 120% financing

However, I consider a diet based on lentils to be extremely monotonous. Especially lentils would disgust me if I had to eat them too often, even though I can distinguish yellow from red, brown, and Beluga lentils.

I don't know if that was referring to me with the lentils?
The lentil share in our diet isn't that big anyway. There's one lentil dish a week and about two to three times a week homemade pasta that contains about 1/3 lentils. So maybe each (adult) eats 300 to 400g of lentils per week. I don't think that's that much. And then about every two weeks there are beans or chickpeas. (Beans mostly from our own cultivation)

Organic milk – the kind that still sours. Only Specki where can you get it for 1 euro? I pay 1.35 euros.

We have a Demeter farm with a milk filling station. I can go there and fill 1 liter of milk into my own bottle and that costs 1€.
So we get a liter about every one to two weeks. Otherwise, mostly only oat milk. Occasionally rice or soy milk.

sorry, but your horizon doesn’t seem very wide. Just because others are stupid, are you or we allowed to be as well? Same topic with environmental/climate protection? As long as you point the finger at others. Whine, they do it that way too, so I’m allowed to behave wrongly as well.
This way of thinking really disgusts me.

Lach...

... I find that quite a lot. That’s 50 grams every day or 100 grams every two days. But that may just be my subjective view, since I try out many recipes and therefore only encounter lentils 2-3 times a year. I’m also not constantly comparing the nutrients, but something that is in potatoes, rice, quinoa or other products is missing when “only” lentils are eaten.

Do you make lentil pasta yourself? Very interesting

We have a noodle machine (Pastamaker) and make our own noodles. 1/3 red organic lentils and 2/3 flour. The flour is again 1/2 purchased wheat flour from the local mill and 1/2 homemade flour from ancient spelt from the Naturland farmer nearby. And I think there is also one egg from our own chickens in 500g.

We eat quinoa only 2 to 3 times a year, because it comes from far away and I get the nutrients from other sources. We have rice only every 1 to 2 weeks. Potatoes are eaten 1 to 2 times per week. Unfortunately, the ones from last year from our own garden are already gone. Currently, we have some from my father, who knows a farmer that grows them on a medium scale. We had a 20 kg harvest from our garden. All nice, old and colorful varieties (see photo).

Yes, it all takes a bit more work. But I don’t have any industrially processed products, cook mostly fresh with lots of vegetables, and gardening is simply fun for me. Oh yes, and a few times a year we also have meat. But that is only when I slaughter one of my own chickens. Then I know 100% where it comes from, how it lived, and what it was fed.

I’m attaching a few pictures so you can get an idea since you find it interesting

We have that too and have wanted to try lentil noodles for a while, now I know it works, thanks!

That works wonderfully. They just need to cook a bit longer. That's why you should use quick-cooking lentils, otherwise it takes even longer. You can either buy the lentil flour or make it yourself from lentils with a mill, or we just put 200g of lentils in the Thermomix, run it at the highest setting, and then we have great lentil flour.

I also find it very interesting. I expressly praise the sustainability and the effort you associate with it. And it is exceptionally healthy. It probably wouldn’t be for me due to my eating habits, but that is my problem. And still, I consider the 300€/month to be below average.
