expensive food = dent in wallet but good in quality? maybe?

I recently bought a starbucks meal for $11 it consisted of a strawberry banana smoothie, some wheat crackers, brie cheese and few cuts of fruit  it tasted good, but it was such a hefty price and made me think about where did my $11 go? and why was it soo expensive later on that evening my mom and I went to Costco and I got hungry once again and purchased a hot dog and pop for $2. I felt filled up with the hotdog but I also felt gross at the same time, where as the healthier food choice made me feel pretty satisfied, but sad because of the cost also the fact that I bought it from Starbucks..a little indulgence I suppose. I need to find a food medium any thoughts? Especially living in a highly suburban area there are very FEW places that meet at the middle in terms of quality of food and cost. I wanna hear your food comparisons in terms of cost and quality, guilts? and fraustrations? 

the secret to green guacamole

Not a very flattering picture, but the secret to evergreen guacamole, you have to keep the seed in the middle of the guac! 

if you want the recipe to the guacamole...that might be a little harder to get ahaha but with enough convincing I will definitely reconsider.

Food fair

I know this is very late, but better late than never and these pics are pretty solid on all the hard work that each group did for their poster presentations. Onto the pics :)

and Rob for the win
