Eat Local Challenge: Day 17


June 17, 2012

Breakfast:
Off-the-wagon meal of roasted garlic and spinach quiche and blueberry ginger muffin at Satsuma Cafe.  I met up with some friends for breakfast and when we got there the power was out so we couldn't order any of their other dishes.

Lunch:
None.  Though I decided to bake some wheat rolls using the same recipe as I used for hamburger buns for Day 12.  I just divided the dough into 16 parts instead of 8 and it worked well.  I ate mine with ginger pear butter from White Wood Farms, while Jason spread some butter on his.


Wheat rolls minus two that Jason snagged before I could take a picture

Dinner:
Roasted local potatoes, eggplant, and green peppers with local rosemary and raw cane sugar and not-so-local balsamic vinegar and olive oil.  I tossed the veggies together with the rosemary, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.  Then roasted the potatoes in the oven for a half-hour.  Immediately after, I tossed the remaining veggies with balsamic vinegar and a little bit of sugar and let it sit until the potatoes were done.  I added the them to the potatoes and roasted for another 30 minutes.  The eggplant and green pepper really absorbed the balsamic vinegar this way.

We also had an adaptation of Moros y Cristianos using local rice, salt, onion, garlic, and Camellia brand beans that I had cooked on Day 12.  The non-local ingredients were thyme, bay leaves, ground cayenne pepper, and canned Rotel.  Had another wheat roll with apple cider butter from White Wood Farms and washed it down with some Abita Golden Ale.


Yummy!


Non-local foods for the week: Rotel
Off the Wagon Meals Left: 0
