[…] Anita (Married with Dinner) continues to impress me with her meals and photos. Of course I’m just generally impressed with her blog, so that’s no surprise… Last weeks meals included zuni chicken & bread salad, pasta alla gianni, chili and carolina coleslaw. […]

Jen: Honestly, changing the way we shop is of the best things I’ve ever done, and it all started with your challenge. You have a lot to be proud of.
Jennifer: Oh, just you wait. This current week’s meals are going to be ugly. So ugly, in fact, that I haven’t been taking photos. I think I’ll do a theme post I’ve been mulling, in place of the weekly roundup. Cameron’s traveling, and I have been subsisting on mac & cheese, sandwiches, and cereal… all local, of course, but the food equivalent of sweat pants and an old T-shirt.

Cookie: I’m not entirely sure it was the ingredients’ fault that the cornbread failed; we need to give it another try with a bulletproof recipe. But it’s definitely giving me pause to think of using an unknown flour in my pie crusts next week. Maybe I’ll just use a token amount of local flour.

Really sorry the cornbread flopped. I just don’t know what to think about their milled products now. (And I’ve got bags of the stuff in my freezer!)

Three cheers for Jen! That the word has gotten so much ink is a huge victory for everyone…

So this is a tough week?! Those dinners look amazing… what do you make when you’re NOT working crazy hours?

I’m super impressed.

Hi - thanks for your shout out! It’s a very strange thing to process, I can tell you that. The only reason that the word has gotten as far as it has is because of people like you who show that you can eat local in a “normal” life and that it can be a mainstream movement.
