the Eat Local Challenge.  I cannot believe it is the last week of the eat local challenge.  I had all all intentions of doing most of our shopping at the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market  but I got a late start today and I am coming down with a cold.  So, I did one stop shopping at Whole Foods.  90% of the groceries were local and/or organic. A weeks worth of groceries including 3 bottles of sustainable wine and an additional dinner with dessert to take to a dinner party came up to $175.00

This week’s menu will include:

Straus Yogurt for breakfast

Fair Trade cafe lattes w/local milk
