Local Food Challenge - Day 1

This is an accounting of the local food that we all ate today. I'm a baby, but am pretty savvy on the web, apparently, and was able to list resources for some of the foods that we're using in our house. So, for any locals who are reading this can check out some of these vendors. It sure makes me feel good to support the local farmers and local economy... almost as good as a nice clean diaper! ahhhhh.

• Breakfast for me: A cut-up piece of French Toast (Daddy made it Sunday - yum!). The bread came from the Great Harvest bread store in Duluth. http://greatharvest.com/ (They had a booth at a festival we were at and they gave us yummy samples and then we got a whole loaf because I liked it so much.
• my Lunch was some left-over pasta with broccoli mixed in. The broccoli came from our CSA and was previously chopped, steamed, and frozen. Mom will sometimes make my baby food -- especially if we have a lot of veggies on-hand.
• my Bottles today were filled half-way with formula and the rest was local milk. This is new for us! Mommy sought out the local milk because of the local food challenge. She didn't know that it was even available at our Whole Foods store. She even got to meet the man from Sparkman's Dairy because he came all the way from Moultrie, Georgia to give away samples of drinkable yogurt. http://www.sparkmanscreamvalley.com/
• for Dinner, i dug into the CSA bag and pulled out a zucchini. I threw it on the floor, but Mommy washed it, cut it up, steamed it, and i ate it with applesauce
  
• Mommy's breakfast: left over french toast from Great Harvest Bread (mentioned above)
• at Lunch she ate some left-overs from the weekend which was made 90% from our CSA (veggie chorizo from Trader Joe's braised with cabbage, tomatoes, and potatoes)
• she had yogurt as a Snack and dropped in a handful of local blueberries from Byne Blueberry Farm in Waynesboro, Georgia
• Daddy went out to Lunch with his co-workers, but he ate yogurt as a Snack too - he put Pure Bliss "Acai Blues" granola (made right here in Marietta) in his yogurt. pureblissorganic@bellsouth.net
  
• for Dinner, mommy & daddy had a nice meal after I went to sleep. Mommy had bought pork chops from the Whole Foods butcher that were raised at Thompson Farms Pork in Dixie, Georgia. There was some sort of grading scale on the meat from this farm. It was labelled as a Level 4 meat on the "humane" treatment level -- 5+ being the best. <.... oh yeah.... i have a short attention span... > back to the meal: They made Pork Chops with Balsamic Peach Sauce. (Georgia Peaches and Vidalia Onions were in it, of course!) They also had rosemary dusted potatoes. The rosemary came from a rosemary bush at our own house. The potatoes came from our CSA. Mommy had a rye beer from Terrapin brewery in Athens, Georgia. I've never had beer, but I see mommy & daddy drinking it sometimes. funny. I drink from a bottle. Sometimes they drink from a bottle. http://www.terrapinbeer.com/

Not too bad for our first day, huh?
