Monday mornings are usually spent taking refigerator inventory, making my grocery list in my head and getting ready for work. I like shopping on Monday since there are less people in the stores.
I have a lot of fresh vegatables left from the farmer's markets and stuff a friend gave me from her CSA (community supported agriculture) pick up at the Wilson College. That's where I got the garlic snakes (scrape) from.
I used some of the snakes by cutting off the ends, cut out the bulbous part and chopped them up. I then washed and cut up some little new potatoes and boiled them with the garlic snakes then mashed it all up using butter, skim milk and my emersion blender. It was very yummy. I also chopped up some snakes along with a green pepper, and onion, adding it all to some ground turkey I got at the farmer's market. I added a bit of salt and pepper and made it into patties. The potatoes, turkey patty and small salad was what I had for dinner last night. For lunch I brought a left over patty, red leaf lettuce and vined ripened tomato. Everything on my plate last night and for this lunch are totally local ingredients. I'm proud of myself!
I don't think there's much I need from the store so my list will be short. Anyone who says eating organic and local is expensive hasn't done their homework. It's less expensive for me and I feel good supporting the farm families in my area.
