Okay, so I didn't have a day of super local foods. Our daughter is sick with a nasty bug and the day was cold, rainy and frankly, uninspiring.
Yesterday was better. Warm and sunny. We ate fried egg sandwiches (eggs from the ladies), bread from Zingerman's. Also had sauteed spinach and onions, both from the garden (the few leftover onions from last summer) and steamed fingerling potatoes from Shannon's gifted CSA share of the week (thank you, Shannon!), topped with Calder Dairy butter and chives from the back door! Very yummy!
Today I made a scrap-together sort of casserole consisting of onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, corn, and red lentils. After cooking all of the above, I put it into a casserole dish and topped it with a cup of fresh bread crumbs mixed with a 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shreds and chives. Baked at 350* for 30 minutes and had a lovely, filling dish that makes for good leftovers.
The bread crumbs came from the end of a home made loaf, flour from Westwind.
Also made scones with raisins today. Topped with a coffee glaze-- one tablespoon of incredibly strong hot coffee mixed with 1 cup powdered sugar. Made a lovely stripey glaze on the scones. Ate only one, the rest I took to the Ypsi Food Co-op's Community Meeting potluck. Unfortunately, I was too stuffed from my own dinner to partake in the potluck action. Such a shame! I live for potlucks!
At any rate, things are taking off in the garden thanks to all the rain. It's so lush and crazy out there. I hard boiled eggs today to enjoy with tomorrow's salad from the backyard! Can't wait!

Wow, I'm finally catching up on 8 or so months of posts on several blogs I (was) following. I'm so jealous! For several reasons - we've got roughly the same lot for growing stuff as your family, but we're not allowed to have chickens. :/ Calder Dairy doesn't deliver this far north (although I think a place called Home Pride does), and we're only a couple of miles north of where they stop. Plus, living so close to Zingerman's... My sister lives a mile away and I beg her to bring me fresh mozzarella every time she comes out here. The solution will eventually be to make my own. Just popping in!
