wedding food...


hello again!
we ran into a bit of local-food difficulty last weekend. my sister got married in dayton, ohio and we had to travel there for the weekend. unfortunately, we couldn't bring all of our food with us... so we had several things that were local to the dayton area while we were there...local wine, Indiana ketchup and green beans, (they are around 20 minutes from the Indiana border), and we ate in a locally-owned Mexican restaurant...although I can't speak to where the food came from.

This has come to be by far the most difficult part of this experiment...how do we deal with eating off of our "home turf?" at home, most things (generally-speaking) can be found locally, but when we leave our home base, it becomes difficult if not impossible to maintain enough control over the food situation to find local stuff... just an observation.

Otherwise, I've also come across people thinking I'm crazy for conducting this "pointless experiment" (their words not mine). This is frustrating, as I don't think much thought goes into where these people get their food from, and the impact of that choice. Anyways, enough ranting for now... 'til later.
