We made it to one month of eating local.
It's been a busy month of canning, baking and researching. We have cheated once or twice but, over all it wasn't too bad until this weekend. This weekend was Rissa's 22nd birthday and she chose sushi for her birthday dinner. I called Tona a few days before of course knowing that the fish was not going to be local. I was happy to find out they serve local produce. YAY! The next day she wanted to go to the Hogle zoo with the family. I cooked a roast in the crock pot the night before. I packed the roast in a zip Lock bag along with bread I had made a few days before, Gossner cheese and some nice apples. We stopped for lunch at one of the tables by the snack bar. I started unpacking our lunch and Madi says, "are you kidding? I'm done with this, why can't we just eat normal, I don't want to do this anymore." A few days before she was eating some of my freshly canned apple sauce and said, "I think this is great we should eat like this for the rest of our life."
After the zoo we stopped by cousin Annie's home and she shared some beautiful peppers from her garden.
I am so jealous that you guys can do this . We don't have anythng anywhere close enough to be considered local. Such a great idea for the zoo too!
