Eat Local Challenge: Day 10

June 10, 2012

Brunch:
Made some local grits with local onion and not-so-local cheddar cheese that I needed to get rid of.  Plus, wheat chapati using the same recipe as Day 8 + blueberry sauce -- with local wheat flour and local blueberries, of course!



Snack:
Jason and I went to see Prometheus, and I ended up getting popcorn, which wouldn't be so bad, but I already used up my 3 non-local foods for the week.  Totally didn't realize it until after the fact.  This challenge reminds me of Lent in a lot of ways.

Dinner:
A good friend of mine came over for dinner, and I made cucumber and red onion salad with fresh mint and sweet basil with mashed red potatoes and not-so-local buttermilk that I've been trying to get rid of and corn on the cob with not-so-local butter.  I accidentally had some non-local white win with dinner -- another oops.



Non-local Foods for the Week: donuts, bagels, popcorn, white wine
Off the Wagon Meals Remaining: 0

--

The cheese, buttermilk, and butter should be added (if not already on it) to the list of exempt non-local foods since I had them in my fridge before I started the challenge.
