Challenge update - week 3

Monday, September 24, 2007

I can barely believe this is the last week of the September Eat Local Challenge - this month has flown by!  So how did we all do last week?

Naomi made local corn bread and a tofu stir fry, and shared the cornbread recipe with us.

Anj canned peppers in oil and vinegar, and made a great vegan vegetable soup using leftovers for the stock.  Better yet, she has promised to share her canning technique!

Jeanne collected a gorgeous CSA share from Greensgrow Farm this week, and went on a little shopping trip to the Schuylkill River Park Farmer’s market for peaches, figs, apples, and carrots.  Her local meal was a mostly local vegetable soup she had frozen earlier this Summer.

I tried a couple of locally produced cheeses, and made three local meals - Daikon ribbon pasta with tomato basil sauce, and two meals using Butternut squash.  And I made pickled carrots.
