Sorry for flaking out on you.... I don't have much of an excuse at the moment... but I have posted a last minute May Challenge... I promise to have something up for June!!!
I was re-reading my January 1st blog post about some goals for this year, and I thought I would update you on some of that. Here is what I wrote:
Hello 2011... the year I will hopefully get all of you to try a few new recipes with me through my 12 month cooking challenge. The year I hope to become more of a Locavore. The year I plan to succeed at making hamburger buns. The year we are going to try growing some of our own food!
I think I have made some good progress on this!
-I HAVE figured out how to make hamburger buns, finally.
-We are buying all of our beef, chicken, and eggs from local farmers, and we are even buying locally milled whole wheat flour. Once local veggies and fruit are in season we plan to do most of our groceries at the farmer's market.
-We have planted a garden! After two years of planting flowers and then not caring enough to weed, we have filled our front flower beds with veggies. One tomato plant is flowering and I have two lettuces sprouting. This has been a wonderfully great experiment so far, I can't wait to see what happens. Google "square foot gardening" if you want some great ideas for starting your own veggies on a small scale.
