July 9th, 2007 - Sadly, a non-local meal

I thought I was going to have a local meal last night. Until I read the ingredients list on the Great Harvest Bread. I think of them as a good, wholesome company baking bread daily that is much like homemade only in larger quantities. Hah! The bread included high fructose corn syrup for heaven’s sake! So what if it’s baked only 12 miles from my house. The ingredients are just as bad as store-bought bread.

So, although my cheese was local, I ate a nectarine with it instead of my local cherries.

I have an idea for next week: At the market was some popcorn. I didn’t buy it as I just recently bought some popcorn and Maggie and I haven’t had any anyway. (Too much fresh food around.) But we could have a LOVELY local dinner with popcorn and cheese. Perhaps next Sunday with Michael and Ann Marie. If I get to the market and they still have some jars of it.

    I know what you mean about Great Harvest - I am always amazed how LONG their line is at the Farmer’s Market - when it really isn’t anything “special” like all the other grower’s there.
