I joined the Eating Local spring challenge a week ago and have just managed a whole week without any major difficulties or disruption. Not too hairshirt and the resident curmudgeon I share the house with was at last persuaded it was a good thing and came on board when he discovered that Waller’s Butchers at Mitchams Corner do local rabbit, pigeon, venison and beef. As I usually do not cook meat, he was pleased to see I am making concessions for these 6 weeks by carnivore cooking. Tuesday’s beef stew made from cows that grazed Midsummer Cmmon last year plus regular supplies of homemade bread converted him. Did not stop him escaping to Germany for the week however.
