One Local Summer, Week 1
I’d had a scheme in mind, where all of our OLS meals were going to be new recipes. However, the first week crept up on us, and that didn’t happen. Instead, our first one local summer meal was last Sunday, and it was a simple tossed salad. Lettuce was hydroponically grown and from Weatherhand farm (along with a couple of heirloom tomatoes that he threw into the bag for us); green peppers and cucumbers were from Faucette Produce; eggs (which we hard boiled) were from Ward’s Happy Chickens, and country ham (sold by Faucette Produce) was from W. G. White. (There may have also been some non-local ranch dressing in here. Ahem.) I also microwaved myself a potato from Faucette Produce and mashed it up with a little butter made from cream from Homeland Creamery. All ingredients were purchased at our local curb farmer’s market.
So, dinner was nothing fancy, but it was tasty, and tasted like summer. Picture forthcoming, if I can find the camera cable.
