Dark Days Eat Local Challenge

I hereby accept Urban Hennery's challenge to cook at least one local meal through the lean days of winter. I don't have anything frozen or canned so I will probably have to learn a lot of new sweet potato recipes. Want to take the challenge? Here's the rules:
  1. Cook one meal a week with at least 90% local ingredients
  2. Write about it - the triumphs and the challenges
  3. Local means a 200 mile radius for raw ingredients. For processed foods the company must be within 200 miles and committed to local sources.
  4. Keep it up through the end of the year, and then re-evaluate on New Year’s Day
  5. The challenge starts now, or whenever you sign up.

Terri, this is a great way for folks to understand what is locally grown and in season. As you know this is one of my goals for 2008. Please let us know if you discover any food finds. The more information we get out there, the easier it will be to meet the challenge.
