The Midwest: Norah (Aagaard Farms) is glad to have participated (glad to have you!) and feels that she’s made at least a few important people more aware of local resources. Last week they enjoyed cottage pie – also known as shepherd’s pie – with homegorwn pork, onions and a topping of German butterball potatoes. They [...] The East Heading back into the archives, Stacey (Fessenden Farmstead) makes a repeat Dark Days meal of broccoli quiche with winter CSA vegetables and local dairy. On the side, dilly beans from last year, and a mixed-greens salad — spinach, mustard, chervil, sorrel and lettuce — from her cold frame and even an apple tart for [...] The East: Stacey (Fessenden Farmstead) couldn’t decide what to do with the vegetables in her crisper — golden beets from her winter CSA, and the last of the garden’s parsnips.

Over at my house (Married …with dinner) Cameron made a traditional [...] An over-the-fence gift from a neighbor — freshly caught fish her sons brought home — helped Carly Mae (A Growing Girl) rejoin the Dark Days fold this week. Into the cast-iron skillet went the cleaned fish, plus heirloom tomatoes from the freezer and local onions; then the whole delicious dish was cooked over a backyard [...] The Midwest: Norah (Aagaard Farms) is scraping the bottom of the pantry and root cellar, but she still managed a mostly local meal of their own pork chops and a side dish of half local Cavena Nuda (the rice for the prairies) and traveling rice. Now I want to try this nutty oat variety! There [...] The East: Jenny (Daftly Smitten) packed her lunchbox with SOLE foods all week. Fresh fruit, local sauerkraut, a mash of boiled root veggies, smoked Swiss and Colby cheese cubes with boiled eggs, and my favorite – fridge-pickled carrot sticks!
