So, this weekend I made my local meal without even realizing it. Michael Lee and I were headed to my aunt's house for some swimming and I volunteered to make potato salad. I have two young cousins (Hi Gavin! Hi Tommy!) who are allergic to several things so I decided to make 2 types of potato salad: one with blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese dressing, and sour cream (no good for kids allergic to dairy, but dang, I like my cheeses!) and one with red wine vinegar and olive oil. I had a bunch of white fingerling, red skin and blue potatoes that I bought at Robin's farmer's market down in Newark, DE, and I added some parsley, chives and dill from our backyard. I am not a fan of dill, but I have to say, it wasn't bad. Oh, and don't forget salt and pepper. That is always key.
I was telling Robin about and she said, "oh, so is that your local meal?" Yes! I was planning on having a summer veggie meal for dinner the next night, so I didn't even realize that I had done one already. Not to mention the several meals of leftover Tortilla Español I had. Local eating just gets easier and easier.
Finally, Michael Lee has enjoyed both zucchini and yellow squash this week. This boy loves his vegetables. It really makes life easy!
