Dark Days Challenge, Week 1

Dark Days Challenge Week One

So we’re participating in the third annual Dark Days Challenge, dedicated to local eating during the winter. Our good food habits have been slipping a bit lately, and I wanted to work on being mindful of them. This seemed a good way to get started.

My mother-out-law made dinner (I am seriously lucky) Thursday night (that’s my long teaching day, this semester): roasted potatoes, green beans (last of the season), country ham, and tomatoes (we’re lucky enough to get tomatoes year around here, as we have some very successful hot house farmers; I don’t know if these were hot house or not). Everything came from our local farmer’s market, and everything was dead tasty.
