After a couple days of eating locally in an un-planned, not well-prepared fashion (cheese curds for lunch, bread with jam for dinner, etc) my stomach has brought me back to my senses. Last night was (yes, again) grilled cheese with tomato. But I made a little extra effort and made pancakes this morning (Wild Hive flour, Evan's Creamery butter and buttermilk, local egg) with raspberry sauce (NJ raspberries--there are still some here in the store, you should grab them!) and there is chili in the crockpot for dinner tonight (VT turkey sausage, almost local, Threshold Farm Onion, Cauyuga Pure Organics chili beans, NJ pepper & tomato) as well as local beer (PorkSlap from Butternut Brewing in Garrattsville NY, slightly beyond the 100 mile range). Last night I also made syrup from local grapes, and tonight's project is peach jam and peach butter from NJ peaches (yes, the sugar and lemon are not local, but they are indispensable). Don't forget to submit your "Eat Local" recipes to get in the drawing for the "Eat Local" cookbook! -kp
