Eating Local Week 5
Is it week five? I’ve only been keeping track by this blog.
As usual, local eating doesn’t feel so unique. I have fallen in love with my old friend the cameo apple. Normally I’m a macintosh girl, but the cameos this year are amazing. But the cameo is simply the perfect apple: tart, sweet, and extremely crisp. (I feel like an old lady blogging about socks.)
I got a big box of fruit again (20 lb) but i’m not really feeling the pears so sadly it isn’t being eaten quite yet. They’re the green d’anjou’s and I find them too sweet. anything I can do with them?
My meals are far too simple and boring to blog about them. When I have time I’ll make something beautiful from local ingredients, but for now it is still salads, soup, and smoothies.
[p.s. I am so sorry I have been absent for so long! I promise I will be back soon — my tests end (for now) this coming Tuesday so I should have some time. My mind is overflowing with thoughts and ideas so stay tuned!]

You could make pear-infused brandy from the fruit that’s too sweet to eat. It’d make great holiday gifts, although the flavor is best right after it’s made, so maybe you could cold-store them a week or two longer?
