Awesome first meal! Mine was so bland by comparison :). Great start! I'm sure you'll do fine - even come November.
Thank you Wendy, it tasted it really good! I'm still struggling with getting over 75% local in most meals. Those pesky grains always kill me!
Ahhh, that's why I said grains don't count. ;p~~~
You at least can get the Daisy Flour. I can't even get that without an arm and a leg for shipping. I wish they'd get a supplier somewhere out this way.
Looks wonderful Christy! I'm glad you decided to join the challenge!
That's so great you're doing that. I think it would definitely be harder in some places than in others.
I'm in Delaware so it won't be as hard to do as in some places but harder than others. I do believe in a month or so it really will become a challenge.
Danielle - I've found a closer source for my meat so I won't be going to the source for Daisy Flour anymore. Not sure what I'm going to do about flour. I may go with King Arthur being regional. Not sure yet.
