Eating Local

In late winter, my friend Jessica introduced me to a Barbara Kingsolver, et. al. book entitled "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" and I was hooked once again on gardening and farmers markets and eating local. I know this will fall a bit by the wayside come winter because I am just not that hard core about it but I love knowing that the food I am eating didn't travel far to get to my mouth from the ground and that the money that I paid for it helps the farmer down the street. The farmer then buys other stuff that eventually helps us all! I get my CSA share on Thursdays and go to a farmers market on Wednesday. Come Tuesday night, I am ready to go to the farmers market again. I rarely buy veggies at the store and since the meat truck was at the farmers market this week, I didn't even get meat at the store! Something in me doesn't want to mix store-bought stuff with local stuff so I try to make meals that consist of only one, if possible. This was our Locavore meal on Wednesday night.
