[...] Anita, at MarriedWithDinner, has been happily moving into fall menus, and enjoyed a full week of local goodness. Her chili dogs would make any baseball fan happy while watching Boston in the playoffs (and is there another team playing – here in NH we are very firmly entrenched in Red Sox Nation!). [...]

LaMar: See, women know everything
If you’re curious about eating locally, here are a few good resources:

Panda: Well, maybe not the squashes, but pretty much everything else

Nicole: Yeah, next year we’ll preserve even more. But honestly, other that tomatoes, I am over it all. I found a bunch of summer fruit in the freezer and the thought of making a pie or even a cobbler with it was so unappealing; I’d rather have apple or pecan pie or pear crisp or… maybe I’ll feel differently later in the year?

Kim: Oh, we ARE enjoying it, but it’s still surreal to read everyone else’s posts. (ps: GO SOX!)

Looks great, Anita! You’re right about my small amount of jealousy when it comes to the things available to you year round. For crying out loud, enjoy it!

Most of our farmer’s markets here in PA are closing soon for the season, but it’s still really easy to eat local here – it just takes a bit of planning and work. I did a buttload of canning and freezing this Summer. Of course, I’m still jealous of you, though – you definitely have a wider variety of things!

Hi Anita,

This is a wonderful entry. As I read and came across the term “eating local” I mentioned it to my wife and to my surprise, she is very much aware to the term (Where I am not). This actually kicked off a good discussion between the two of us and we have you to thank.

can’t wait for the next entry.

Mansi: Oh, sounds fun. I don’t think I’ve seen peaches or nectarines at our market in a while, but I’ll keep my eyes open.

Bri: You’re so right. I really do feel like I’m cheating! It’s not just a cook-at-home phenomenon, either. We went out to dinner at Nopa last night and realized that their menu was largely local, too — I don’t know if they’re hitting the 90% mark, but they’re sure talking a good game. Tomorrow we’re going to Fish & Farm, where the chefs say that the majority of their raw ingredients come from within a 100-mile radius. Anyway, that’s another post…

Anita, it’s so great that you are highlighting how lucky we are to have so much amazing produce. With semi-local olive oil, local butter and cheeses, meats and veggies, it’s so easy in California to be a locavore.
