Story in OCA newsletter

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 […]

Locally-grown yogurt is popular!

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 Burke-Gilman […]

We are on 100milediet.org

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!

Day Four, for me

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.

Cracker recipe

Potluck anyone?

Scott and I were thinking about throwing together a potluck for next week.  Tuesday seems to be the only day we’re avaialble.  Anyone interested?  Any ideas on a good park with picnic tables in Ballard to gather?

Whatchoo Readin?

CSA’s are a good option for us

We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids.   We are busy, but still enjoy sitting down to a meal together.  We just don’t have too much time to shop and cook.  Being more intentional about eating locally produced food has evolved over the past 2-3 months for us.  So, this challenge  came […]

Shopping whilst hungry is a bad idea

Shopping with a growling stomach is bad enough, but trying to restrict myself to 100 miles… argh!!
Random things I miss: Nutella, corn chips, olives, yogurt (need to track this down at a farmers market!), good fruit juice (I eschew sugar water, e.g., cola)
I missed last Sunday’s Ballard Farmers Market, because I was on a personal […]
