I wish I could blog today about our wonderful local Easter meal. However, it is not to be. The items we are serving are sustainably grown, but with the exception of some local flour, local cream cheese, local milk, local butter, and potatoes from Michigan (not 100 miles by any chance.) We kind of got what we could get...
Easter is probably the holiday you need to plan for most deliberately for local items... I was going to serve a butternut squash soup, with the last of the butternuts from our garden last year. But alas when I cut into it it was not to be. We did not do well growing carrots last year, so we had none left in the ground to dig up for our carrot cake. We also ran out of beets and turnips long ago, so our roasted root crops will be organic, but not local...
Year by year we will get better at this eating local thing...
