Did you make the Cute Squash Button using some online button generator? I need a button for my local foods group, but all the generators I can find are offering 80x15 or 88x31 buttons.

I just found your blog and I think it's terrific. I live in Newtown, CT. I have only been "putting by" some ingredients for Thanksgiving, so I don't have what I'd call reserve stock. Most of the farm stands and all of the Farmer's Markets are closing soon, so it's going to get interesting--but I'm up for the challenge.

I have done so for years, sometimes out of necessity, and was often asked by friends why bother when it is so available in the groceries. They cannot match the taste and satisifaction of having prepared it yourself, and least to say what is in it and what is it's origin. A few years ago M. Strewart had something like canning 101 on her show, then I had friends ask for me to show them how to do it. Ha! Finally I'm cool. Count Me In! Looking foward to a cosy winter snuggled up by the fire with my dog at my feet and a warm cup of soup in my mug.

I live in southern Wisconsin, fortunatly near one of the largest farmers' markets in the country (Madison). I've signed up for my CSA's T-giving box and also the winter storage box. We've got lots of frozen food that I've preserved and I even did some canning this fall (first time!). So this will be fun. I wonder how long my bounty will last.... I’m in!

This will be our first year shooting for a four season garden, so it should be interesting. Looking forward to participating!

Here in Maine, believe it or not, the local thing is actually a breeze. I've even found a local winter CSA and a whole pig we're going to purchase :). Sounds like a blast! I’m in!

The one meal a week is a great idea. And who knows, maybe with time it will get even easier to do so it can be expanded to more. I am so with you! The one meal a week is a great idea.
