When I was a student I had a cooking partner - she was great company, and we kept each other on track about the healthy cooking :-)CelloMomhttp://www.cellomomcars.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235446006357589887.post-61140564244071164962012-09-14T11:11:34.406-07:002012-09-14T11:11:34.406-07:00Great post with useful suggestions!

This year will be my first year shopping for myself (the past 2 years I was eating dining hall food, and before that I lived at home with my parents), so it's up to me to choose whether I eat locally or not. I will definitely keep these suggestions in mind as I plan for the year.

After all, I'm in it for the long term.<br /><br />Speaking of which, I talked to "my" CSA farmer's wife (who is the farm manager) about a winter share, and she says they're actively looking into it this winter and may have a pilot by next winter!

No point sweating things if you can't buy local 100% of the time as it sounds like you've made a couple of big changes recently what with the gluten-free cooking. But I think you've got a solid base here from which to grow your efforts as the years go by.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830736633775557510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235446006357589887.post-59340923580912562712012-09-04T09:22:55.679-07:002012-09-04T09:22:55.679-07:00That's a great idea, CelloMom ...

I think it will take awhile for this challenge to become part of our lives. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323775808390175925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235446006357589887.post-61153958153285193522012-09-03T16:48:36.932-07:002012-09-03T16:48:36.932-07:00The Farmer's Almanac!

And come next spring you could pose the twin challenge of putting up what we can from the summer bounty. I suspect the whole process will be a long learning curve with many iterations & many adventures.<br /><br />Thanks for fielding the challenge!CelloMomhttp://www.cellomomcars.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235446006357589887.post-89454764960199142922012-09-03T16:30:24.045-07:002012-09-03T16:30:24.045-07:00I just love this challenge and thank you, so much,...I just love this challenge and thank you, so much, for suggesting it. I thought that running it now would be ideal with the end of the harvest season approaching ... but in reality, I wish I would have posted it in spring so that we could have prepared. What this challenge has done for me is really push me to consider ways of preserving food ... perhaps in small batches to accommodate my Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323775808390175925noreply@blogger.com
