Getting close to the home stretch-- and starting to reflect on the lessons learned. Like:
1) corn meal pancakes are not that great.
2) coffee is really delicious. and very not local.
3) it's hard to eat anything quickly that's super local, except for cheese by the slice and hard boiled eggs.
4) it's easy to get sick of sliced cheese and hard boiled eggs.
5) there are plenty of creative purchasing options for local food in this area-- CSAs for not just produce but eggs, dairy and meat-- and we'll surely explore some beyond the produce in the near future
6) eating THIS locally isn't truly sustainable, because we have to make car trips to seek out the uber-local options (car trips we wouldn't normally make since our normal grocery stores are both within one mile, and easily walkable and bike-able
7) eating locally will definitely be something that sticks with us-- between the garden and csa we're focused in that direction anyway
What we're eating this weekend:
Saturday:
Breakfast--cornmeal pancakes with berry preserves. yuck (the pancakes not the preserves...)
Lunch-- scrambled eggs with spinach and 1/2 a leftover hamburger (meat from 39 miles away)
Dinner-- salad, leftover veggie stew, hard boiled egg, pears
Sunday:
Breakfast--CHANTRELLE and spinach omelette. OMG SO GOOD. oven roasted potatoes (with a "condiment exception", all natural ketchup
Lunch & Dinner-- yet to be determined, but we're off to explore the foodie farmer's market in town this afternoon, so likely something yummy, and more cheese.
