Eating Locally


Yesterday, without meaning to, our whole lunch was grown locally. We enjoyed roast from a beef that our relatives raised, fried yellow squash (I used the egg from our hens for the batter), roasted potatoes with onions, and zucchini bread. I guess the only things we didn't get locally are the flour, spices and shortening. I thought it was kind of cool for all of our main ingredients to be home-grown.

How great is that? Your yellow squash look especially lovely. You can't beat homegrown veggies.

Awesome that is what Ben and I are shooting for. There is a sense of accomlishment when you know you raised all the food you are putting in your mouth. I love it!
