Dreaming of Simplicity

 Praise his name for the cool air that has settled in for the day! This past week was a scorcher with highs near or above 90 most days. I do not like heat. Today it is so much nicer. I actually baked today and did not find myself melting into a puddle. Thank you Lord! I want to make zucchini bread and freeze green beans today. I have about five pounds to freeze.

 Here are the local items that were on our table this weekend.

Specialty hamburgers (sweet onion and bacon with VT cheddar) made from beef from http://boydenfarm.com/. This farm is very close and we pass by it when we pick up our CSA share. We picked these up from http://www.sweetclovermarket.com/reachus.htm .

 Organic corn on the cob that we picked up from the farmers market that came from a farm that is in our town. I would have bought directly from them but we were at the market and I was using farm to family coupons that WIC offers to low income people to buy fresh produce at farmers markets.

Vermont butter of course.

Our own eggs scrambled for breakfast, and also in muffins which contained fresh organic blueberries from our CSA share.

Tonight we will have tacos made from ground beef from the local butcher, Vermont cheese, tomatoes and lettuce from our farm share.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Saturday, August 18, 2007 - Local Food

After having my eyes opened to the harmful effects of shipping food across the country, I have been wishing to find more local foods also. Unfortunately the only local food I can find is eggs. Nothing grows here. Looks like you have many good options though.

Thanks for commenting on my blog.
