Between the garden and other activities around the house, writing this blog is proving more difficult than I would have thought!

I keep thinking that so much of the food our family eats isn't local. It may just be when I compare myself to my mystical ideal (who has local tea and chocolate, too!). As I am the one in the house who handles most of the food purchases and the only one for whom buying locally is really important, I often feel burdened with the work of sourcing most of our food locally.
