Lapsing Locavoritude

Monday, December 24, 2007

Although I have not lost locavoraciousness, this time of year—lacking time and wheels and a taste for root vegetables—it’s tough not to skid off the runway of locally grown. I still have a few farmers market apples in the fridge, but that’s about it at the moment. Except for these herbs—the last scraggly tarragon from outside, some sage from a patch in the nabe, and some oregano I brought inside that’s hanging on—that I’ll mince and combine with butter and lemon zest (uh-oh) to slip under the skin of tomorrow’s Christmas turkey breast. (Don’t ask about the turkey part’s provenance, ok?)
