One Local Sunday, week1

June 8th, 2008 · 2 Comments

This week kicks off the One Local Summer challenge, hosted by one of my favorite eating local blogs, Farm to Philly. Because we often eat at least a couple local dinners a week during the summer, my personal challenge is going to be to eat local all day on Sundays. This will require a little more effort and planning, particularly when it comes to snacks for the toddler. But the first week was fairly easy. Here’s what we ate:

Brunch of baked eggs with sausage and chive blossoms (sausage VA, eggs & chives PA).

Snack of carrot corn muffins with carrots & strawberries (corn meal MD, berries VA).

Dinner grill-roasted pork shoulder (VA), basted with VA beer; morels (PA) in butter; fried red tomatoes (MD), mozzarella (PA) and basil (MD).

Will post some recipes later — posting from the road.

Update 6.10.08: View the first week OLS round-ups to see what others are making with local-to-them ingredients from around the country. Apparently FoodieTots in VA is in the Southern region, though many of my products are from the Mid-Atlantic (MD & PA). I still need to check my map though as I suspect some of our PA sources are technically too far away. I’ll be trying to buy more VA products as the summer goes on. Stay tuned!
