Thanksgiving Recovery

It has been surprisingly hard to get back into focussing on local food after travelling for the Thanksgiving holiday. Our holiday host did have a local Thanksgiving turkey, but might have been all. When we returned home, we ordered our staple foods from Neshaminy Valley Natural Food Distributer. We also went again to Good Fortune Farm to get our local, free range turkey - all 39 pounds of him! Thank goodness it is cut up into small pieces and frozen; it is our meat supply for many months. Today I made pizzettes using some of the last sprig of fresh basil. I ordered organic citrus already from Hickory Tree Grove. No organic grapefruits for us this year though (sold out already). I know, the citrus is not local, but I am supporting a small family-owned farm and it is way better than buying from the grocery store.
