1. Sunny, what was one highlight of the Local Foods Challenge this fall during harvest time?
There were so many highlights during
fall harvest. Just getting back in tune with the natural cycles and
gaining a greater appreciation of food preservation was pretty
profound. Whether it was canning tomatoes at our 'Tomato Fest' party,
churning butter, learning not to leave bags of acorns inside the
house, or that one should wear gloves when chopping jalapenos, all
these highlights have imprinted themselves in a very deep way.
2. What can be a typical meal for you in January?
My quick and easy meals are wild rice with ground buffalo and wild greens -or- pasta with pesto sauce and various frozen vegetables. Other favorites include lasagna, soup, and soft-shelled tacos.
3. How is your pantry holding up now that winter is in full swing?
I have been hoarding my food and finally realized that I have some serious eating to do. There is easily enough to last for two seasons. I am currently feeding a 3-person family, but could easily feed 6.
