Comments on: Dark Days Challenge - Week #3 Recap http://urbanhennery.com/2007/11/04/dark-days-challenge-week-3-recap/ thoughts on country living, farming, gardening and eating locally Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:58:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: LeeAnn http://urbanhennery.com/2007/11/04/dark-days-challenge-week-3-recap/comment-page-1/#comment-211 LeeAnn Sun, 11 Nov 2007 01:00:40 +0000 http://darkdayschallenge.com/?p=266#comment-211 Laura, thanks, I'm still trying to sort all this gluten-free vs. local foods stuff out. Obviously, meat and produce is still on the shopping list, as well as dairy. It's just figuring out what I am going to do about corn tortillas, gluten-free cornbread, rice, and other staples of the celiac diet that is puzzling. I've bought some Bob's Red Mill flour alternatives in the meantime. I've never heard of "emmer". What do you use it for?

Bluebird Grain Farm sells Emmer flour which is apparently okay for celiacs, depending on how many of the different glutens you're "allergic" to. I know a couple other people with Celiac's here in the area, so let me know if you want me to ask them about local and non-local resources for you. Sorry to hear that LeeAnn.

We did make a local foods only meal but life has been too busy to take pictures. Today I received back some test results and found out I and my children have celiac disease. So now, trying to figure out what this means for me in the kitchen.... At least roesti is still on the menu! :) Sorry I didn’t post anything this week.

And making a squash galette. Thanks for another terrific recap. All I can think about now is eating steak with some Italian red wine!. And making a squash galette. Thanks for another terrific recap.

We had perch from a local fish farm, CSA potatoes with CSA brocoli and local sour cream and butter. With that we had CSA spinach salads and homemade bread made with local wheat, butter, milk, honey, and nonlocal salt and yeast. Very tasty! We continue to have lots of local food at the rest of our meals too. I'm not ready to shop at the local grocery store just yet! Connie from WI Our local meal this week was wonderful!

We would sooooo like to have chickens, goats, and ducks. Unfortunately we rent our house, and the landlord lives just above us on the hill. She's a bit prickly, as my grandmother would say. We had to fight just to have a small dog! But we're making do - a local farmer friend of ours has great eggs, so we get them about 5 miles from here. Looking forward to hearing all about your splendid meals in Italy! Hi Laura, welcome back!
