Breakfast:
I actually ate one today! Fruit salad with peaches and blueberries.
Lunch:
None. During my lunch break I went to Sankofa Farmer's Market for some produce and to take advantage of the ELC discount. I was hoping that they'd have some prepared food for sale that I could eat, but the food truck only had meat products. =(
Dinner:
Stuffed patty pan squash (sans celery) and smothered okra with popcorn rice
Non-local Foods for the Week: Fruit Punch Crystal Light
Off the Wagon Meals Remaining: 2
Rules Questions:
Referring back to my questions from yesterday, I've decided on items in my pantry/refrigerator that are fair game to be non-local unless I run out. This includes mainly includes dried spices, herbs, and "staple items":
- sugar
- cinnamon
- oregano
- cayenne powder
- sage
- cumin
- coriander
- turmeric
- baking powder
- baking soda
- buttermilk
- butter
- thyme
- brown sugar
- bay leaves
- olive oil
- white vinegar
- soy sauce
- balsamic vinegar
- paprika
- celery seed
- corn meal
I also decided that my homemade cornbread from two days ago *would* count as 8 non-local food items (well, sans the items on the list above) -- because it's homemade and I have more control over the ingredients that went into it. However, if I purchase a prepared food item, it would count as one. This would be applied to meals in which I might make one all-local dish and get lazy and buy a non-local food to supplement (like a bread or salad).
