Oy, what a month. that wrap up is late considering I spent the last few days of August fretting by Hurricane Gustav and thereupon evacuating. All is well but evacuation can really take it out of a girl. So, I am sorry for the late post.

Now that that’s out of the way,

eating like a locavore is HARD, particularly when there is no grain withing 100 miles of my house. I did come to appreciate some new vegetables but additionally longed for the ease of pasta. I could not do that full instance though I may challenge myself on occasion to cook a completely local meal here and there.

I have done two personally difficult challenges in a row. For September we will be doing something easy, fun and effective.

How did you do?
