You gotta love the irony in the disconnect of our modern food supply. I was eating fresh strawberries, watermelon and an orange for breakfast today looking out my window at an inch of freshly fallen snow covering the ground and streets.

it's amazingly status quo! i work pretty hard at being a locavore esp where fresh perishables are concerned - not super rigid about it and it's still not exactly easy.

It sure beats moldy rye grain though.

my preferred local craft bakery and purveyor of fave locally sourced and produced rye bread was bought out relatively recently by a mexican multinational manufacturer. call me delusional but i'm still counting it as local.

Wednesday morning's fruit: navel orange, strawberries, watermelon and a granny smith apple. Yum. Outside: -2 °C.

mixed berries purchased from a local farm and frozen last season. enjoying these today in a bowl of steel cut oats and milk topped with flax seed and maple syrup.

OT re lunch: leftover casserole (fresh local onions, potatoes, mushrooms, homegrown dried herbs and frozen peas with west coast wild tinned salmon) on a bed of local cabbage. seasonal and sooo tasty.
