hi, nice blog PeteSolo! i am all about the food since hitting level 38 but i was not fond of the bistro look so i only got 2 to get me there. now i want lots of apples. i have also transitioned from short recipes to medium recipes in the day, more for sanity than profit.

i did enjoy having a few nurserys around before that for experience so on previous levels i also bought a lot of stones. i also enjoyed the toy shops for quick profits. the return for teradactyl trainer and woodwinds was also welcome so i had to balance resources for those too.

i just swap in resource collectors from inventory once a day to shop in the market and top up other materials and i fill up on food anytime by keeping one farm out; we do not have to staff the collectors to go to market briefly. it also helps to keep the smoke down.

one thing you do not seem to address are profitable decorations, i am thinking mainly of the lamps, garden trees and venus fly traps for money and the windmills for XP if one has crystals to spare before level 38. we can balance the foodie approach with coin and XP that way too until the apple stores line up.
