Eat Local Challenge: Day 25
June 25, 2012
Breakfast:
Nil.
Lunch/Dinner:
Half off-the-wagon meal at Domenica. I didn't realize that the Eat Local Challenge dish was going to be $28, so since we were there during happy hour, I got the eggplant pizza instead for $7.50. The waitress said that the majority of the ingredients they use are local, so I thought figured that I put my best food forward on this one without having to not order a meal.

Eat Local Challenge: Day 22
Late Night Snack:
Jason and I went to see the midnight showing of Disney Pixar's 'Brave' and I fell pretty to the corporate junk food system and indulged in popcorn, soda, and Sour Patch Kids. >.< =D
Breakfast/Lunch:
Local grits with seasoned with local salt and a few local plums.
Dinner:
Made a second attempt at stuffed local patty pan squash, which went a lot better than my attempt on Day 2, probably because I didn't use under-cooked beans! I used instead local grape tomatoes, onion, green pepper, garlic, salt, and shredded Asiago cheese with not-so-local ground cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, and sage leaves. I also made some blueberry cornbread to go on the side! I used local blueberries, sugar, and salt, but the egg, cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and baking powder weren't local.
Non-local foods for the week: Popcorn, Sour Patch Kids, Diet Coke
