OLS Week 6 - Meal in a Scramble

It occurred to me today that I hadn't managed to eat a single completely local meal all week. So much for "getting a bit easier with each week." You can't eat locally without thinking about it, apparently. So this morning, I quickly did a bit of a copy-cat meal and made up a kale and onion frittata with new potato homefries. Relatively easy and I used up some of the leftovers from the week.

Despite the fact that I hadn't eaten a completely local meal all week, I did eat a number of local side-dishes and used mostly local ingredients in everything I ate. There was plenty of basil and parsley from my tiny little garden. From the farmer's market I had:

• zucchini and squash
• onions
• tomatoes
• freshly baked rolls
• red new potatoes
• apricots
• white peaches
• Bing cherries
• Swiss chard

And from the CSA:

• kale (left over from the previous week)
• 2 small heads garlic
• 1 lg. bunch scallions
• 1 lb. red new potatoes
• 1 head of lettuce

Week 7 probably won't be much better on the meal development side. I'm heading out of town at the end of the week and have a lot of work to do before then, so I'm not sure if I'll get in a local meal, but I'm going to try. I skipped the farmer's market today because I didn't want to end up with a bunch of food I wouldn't eat before I left. I've still got veggies from the CSA pickup last Tuesday and I'll be getting more in two days, so there was no sense in buying additional stuff at the farmer's market. I did stop by a produce stand to get a few tomatoes for the week, but other than that the goal is to use up what's already in my refrigerator.
