sapotelunchI discovered to my chagrin that not only is there totally still a weekly farmer's market (in three locations around town), but that it's full of not just hardy greens, but also radishes, lettuces, cheese, sweet potatoes, and greenhouse sweet peppers.
I really think I want to try a localvore month sometime in 2010. In the meantime, getting back to cooking regularly (and by "cooking" I mean "more than combining yogurt, cereal, toast, and eggs all day") is my first priority, but my local co-op now stocks locally-grown and -ground flours. This makes the list of local products:
Vegetables (year-round)
Fruit (summer)
Sweet potatoes (winter)
Potatoes (summer)
Flour (whole-wheat and white)
Eggs
Milk
Butter
Meats of various sorts (not a big carnivore).
Pecans (expensive)
Honey.
It's that combination of flour, butter, milk, honey, and eggs that really makes it possible for this lacto-ovo-type, though I don't know whether cutting out coffee and spending the first week of this experiment with a pisser of a headache hating everyone would be worth it (given that I drink snob coffee that's been through four or five different certifications, especially). I am ordering a full CSA share this year, which means a return to the days of fearing the kohlrabi man. Maybe that's enough of a start.
