That's great that you made a spreadsheet, and awesome that the average distance was well under 100 miles. I did my best as well, though a lot was out of my hands. But, just today, before I left for the bi-weekly farmers market run and Trader Joe's, my mother in law asked me to get TJ box of clementines. Don't you like the local ones? (I asked) Oh yeah, those are fine (she said). So, every little bit helps. :) Like most things in life, I think you just don't like BAD pumpkin pie. I love it “geek is the new black…”.

But anyway, I'm so not sick of turkey...yet, because even though I cooked a 12-lb. turkey, my 5 cousins and I finished it all on Thanksgiving day. Quite incredible considering there were only 2 boys. But they were (and still are, I suspect) 2 very hungry boys :) That’s so awesome the you try to eat local :) Being situated in Illinois, it’s a challenge for me to do so just because all you can find grown within a 100 mile radius of Chicago is probably corn and I don’t even really like corn…
