I call this “Day -10″ because while I was slated to start my personal 100-mile diet today, September 21, last week I found out that there is an official Eat Local Challenge that happens in October. So my month-long 100-mile diet is really about 40 days. I unfortunately haven’t had time to do any research other than finding out that I can buy olive oil that is produced in Wimberly, TX (28 miles) so I am really jumping into this pretty unprepared with the thought that it will force me to learn about this quicker than my 2-job schedule will allow. So it’s Monday morning and I am foodless until tonight. I usually don’t really eat during the day anyway so I should be fine along with the fact that I ate everything in site this weekend in preparation (including vegan wedding cake that was not wheat free but I didn’t care and am paying for it now). Matt, my husband, was sweet enough to take a trip to the Austin Farmers Market on Saturday while I was at work to purchase some local squash, okra and mushrooms which will make up my dinner tonight. Did I mention I don’t know how to cook without a recipe? This should be interesting.
