Q had told us all so many times that she had a tiny apartment and we wouldn’t be able to cook in her small space…  So it was particularly wonderful to arrive and find not only her wide smile but a very spacious, lovely home with a huge table to

Eating Locally, Acting Globally – Session 7

I decided to supplement the box a little bit but keep to the spirit of seasonally appropriate foods.  So I added a bag of red potatoes, heads of garlic and two dozen eggs to the two boxes of produce from Tomato Mountain.  I was so glad I did as these
