I thought I’d try my hand at one post a week that wasn’t necessarily food-related.
For my inaugural FFF, however, I realized I am still focused on meal time!
Does anyone else have a neurotic dog that has a hard time walking on wood floors?

Tonight was one of those nights that I really didn’t want to cook. I wanted someone else to be in my kitchen when I got home, frying up some chicken and making me some sweet tea (I’m not sure where this came from. I’m not from the South, nor have I ever fried [...]
You’re not from around here, are you?

In the spirit of being able to blend local, seasonal eating with practical realities, I present tonight’s dinner.
I love a mushroom. It might be because usual preparations around here often involve salt and butter, which, frankly, could make the contents of my compost pail taste good. I can’t buy mushrooms that are grown in [...]
Happy Thanksgiving! DDELC #6

Like many others this week, my spotlight local meal has got to be the pretty kick-ass Thanksgiving meal I cranked out (if I don’t say so myself…looking humble, with averted eyes)!
It would almost be easier to tell you the menu, and then list the only things that weren’t local. So, I will.
Free-range, local turkey
Bacon, onion, [...]
Kinder, gentler locavores.

I know you’ve already heard that the Oxford English Dictionary declared “locavore” their word of the year, and the four women who coined the term should feel pretty good right now. Now it’s our job to make sure that the word begins to describe more and more people, rather than to exclude anyone. [...]
Market Report
Posted in Local Food, New Hampshire on November 17, 2007 | 7 Comments »
It seems to me that the indoor holiday market sponsored by SeacoastEatLocal and McIntosh Culinary Academy was a rousing success. I arrived as the doors opened at 9:00, and it was already bustling with activity. By the time I left at 9:45, the market was lively and crowded.
A cooking demonstration was beginning, and [...]
Dark Days Week #5
Posted in Cooking, Dark Days Eat Local Challenge, Local Food on November 16, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Can you believe it’s been over a month since Laura launched the Dark Days project? Just think of all the local farmers and food producers we’ve collectively supported!
I’m off to the Seacoast Eat Local-sponsored farmer’s market tomorrow, which Sarah so eloquently wrote about on the Eat Local Challenge website. I look forward to stocking up [...]
My tomatoes only travelled 1.5 miles…

Interesting article in Slate re: China’s tomato business. Kind of scary. Can’t help but wonder if there’s another recall in the future.
And, while I don’t want to appear smug, these sure do make me happy:
Cheesy
Posted in Cooking, Local Food on November 12, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I made another batch of mozzarella using Ricki’s cheesemaking kit. This time, I took some photos along the way, and I thought I’d share my own discoveries about the process. She claims it takes just 30 minutes, but it’s more like 45 for me, which is cut down from the first time I tried [...]
Thanks, Liz!

I imagine that many of the folks who find their way to my blog are of the same ilk, and share many of the same interests, so I can only assume that many of you, like me, are missing your regular updates about life at PocketFarm.
Now, I completely respect and understand Liz’s decision to close [...]
