Tonight we officially began the One Local Summer challenge, and with the hectic week behind us, we were lucky for tonight's meal. A garden salad with arugula, red lettuce, radishes, and green onion; salmon from a friend, and a delicious (first of the summer season) homemade rhubarb pie! Unfortunately being new to the blog world and OLS, I'm working on remembering to document our meals with pictures. I remembered the salad, but alas my stomach took over, and we ate the food before there was a thought to take a pic. Next time I will remember.
The lucky part was having dinner at my parent's house, and a majority of the meal cooked by my parents. I presumed this counts for OLS, but I wonder, does it count if you go to someone else's house and they happen to cook local? Or is it like going to a restaurant in a sense, but then on the flip side, it was family. That should count for something, right?
This week also brought our first strawberry (seascape everbearing) of the season! Hip, hip, hoorah! The potato barrels are in the midst of their second topping off. I believe D and I are both having potato dreams, and think about when they'll be ready to grill, bake, saute, cream, and eat! So until next weekend, more loads of compost will be moved for the potatoes and garden beds for topping off.
