The following weekend I surprised Jeremy with a farm fresh breakfast. We found an awesome guy at City Market that we try to always buy from. I got eggs from him. I had been very weird-ed out by eggs that aren't refrigerated but decided to go for it, started out by only cooking with them (adding them in recipes that called for eggs). I finally got up the courage to make some omelets. I was so ecstatic to see the bright and beautiful shades of yellow & orange of my finished omelet. It was as beautiful as the morning sky was that same spring day! In the omelet, and also from the market was: grilled zucchini, tomato, and green onion. On the side some turkey bacon and a tall glass of Shatto milk.
An experiment in eating fresh, locally, and organic. My plan is to only get 10 itmes at the grocery store. If it can be found locally then it can no longer be store bought.

I would walk 500 miles....
Actually I wouldn't. No way, wouldn't make it. I barely make it 3 miles in this heat. I don't feel bad about it, our two dogs want to take a rest after a 3 mile walk in June.
I will however buy and cook food grown within 500 miles of where I live. I was very pleased two weeks ago to finally have made an almost complete meal from locally grown foods, and I did much better than the 500 mile DGD (day-goods-distance) allowance. Everything from the milk, herbs, and vegetables are were grown within a 2 hour drive from my house. The only thing I didn't get locally was the chicken but it was organic. here is what was on the menu:
Honey broiled chicken (honey was local)
smashed red potatoes and turnips (Shatto milk used)
Sauteed snap peas
