This is kind of random:
One of the things I miss in the OHMD is rice milk, of which I previously was a voracious consumer. Of course, my rice milk is produced in New York state and even if there were a local producer, the rice itself certainly is not grown within 100 miles. [...]

1/2 day into vacation and my first meal away…thai! definately not local. While we aren’t sweating the details on vacation, I was hoping to find a local foods restaurant in Portland but didn’t get it together ahead of time. It’s always the preparation that gets us. Chloe was clearly excited at dinner to see her old friend rice as she tossed [...]

I was chatting about OHMD with the owner of Dandelion Botanical Co., and mentioned that one thing I miss a lot is salt. So she gave me a sample of dried Kelp from the San Juan Islands. mmmm… my tastebuds were in salty heaven! I was having kinetic visions of surfing in the ocean, foam [...]

I’m disposing of so much less packaging than normal, since most of my food comes home with me straight from the farmer’s market stall in canvas bags, and the occasional [...]

I decided I need a pressure cooker, after it took me about two hours to cook the farro, never mind the instructions say it should take one hour, which is still an ungodly length of time to cook something. But the thought had occurred to me before. Shorter cooking times = less greenhouse gas emissions [...]

Just came across this story in the Organic Consumers Association newsletter. Buying Local: If it’s local and out of season there may be better options. Local, Organic & Seasonal, what else should we add to the list? Well, of course, there are plenty of other things to be aware of, if you [...]

I dropped in on the Phinney FM at the Phinney Neighborhood Assoc. building, running into Jenny and found that Port Madison Farms from Bainbridge Is. sells out of yogurt pretty quickly! The vendor told me that PCC sells it, so perhaps I’ll stop to get some the next time I’m biking the [...]

I just went to the original 100 mile diet website to get the address for another posting and lo & behold, they have an article about us on their front page. I sent them an update on our progress yesterday and there we are.
Thanks James & Alisa!

Well, after returning from my vacation, I got a cold and haven’t left the house much, so I am headed up to Phinney Market this afternoon, because I’m getting bored with what I can grow myself and have eaten most of what is ready in the garden right now anyway.
Here is what I’ve been eating [...]
