I ...Jennifer - I liked the sauteed spinach with it. I couldn't believe I was able to score that at the market! As for the halfway mark of OLS? I don't know. I mean most of my diet is local anyway. The only thing that isn't is the bread, which I could get local, but I'd rather make homemade. It's that one little hiccup that keeps ALL my meals from being completely local (except for salt, oil, etc). So I suppose, to answer your question, I'll keep eating as I am most of the time and not continue with the strictness of the OLS meals. This woman needs her homemade bread! :)<BR/><BR/>eco 'burban mom - That's what my mom used to say "who cares what the pie looks like. It's tastes good." She could never get those pie crusts to look like they do in the magazine and it frustrated her to no end. Some of the photos people take are super professional looking. Geez! I'm a total amateur. I'm lucky if I remember to take a pic and if I remember, I have to cross my fingers that the one set of batteries has enough juice left :)<BR/><BR/>I guess I could get local bread for OLS days from our bakery, it just seems silly when I can make my own. But in making my own, it's no longer local because it's comes down to ingredients, right? We definitely chow down on the bread around here. I can make it so cheaply and it's very filling (of course with my homemade butter and jam). Mmmm.hmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13424022504830645523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-79380323370744674312008-07-18T13:14:00.000-05:002008-07-18T13:14:00.000-05:00You know I love the bread!!

If I had your homemade bagels hanging around, I would be eating two a day!<BR/><BR/>And, I think the polenta lasagna looks yummy. I know what you mean though, all the OLS pictures are so nice, mine always look like slop on a plate! It tastes good, that's all that matters, right?EcoBurbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931648017376435556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8862121314003712764.post-53846349136398665102008-07-18T10:51:00.000-05:002008-07-18T10:51:00.000-05:00I can't blame you for being a little bread heavy, ...I can't blame you for being a little bread heavy, if I could make my own bread, all of my meals would center around that. <BR/><BR/>Wow, your version of the polenta lasagna sounds fantastic! Don't you just love using a recipe as a template to create your own tasty delights?<BR/><BR/>Does it feel good to be at the halfway point? Are you going to be happy when this challenge is over or are you going to continue on with it?Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760009169211682230noreply@blogger.com
