Tinky, I have one day left. I can’t find anything truly Massachusetts-ish so I might just do a recipe using our local produce. I know I have that old American Heritage Cookbook someplace. The cover fell off and some of the pages are missing, but I know I wouldn’t have thrown it away. My fear is that I lent it to someone. Anyway, a promise is a promise and I’ll try to get something posted tomorrow. But if not, I might hold the blogathon open (unofficially) for one more week.
Grad–You actually have TWO days left; we run through Saturday. Take your time–and if you can’t think of something I’ll still like you!
here is my next post on Callaloo and how my farmshare keeps introduces me to new food and keeps my diet varied
my third post in the Loving Local Blogathon on Jamaican Callaloo. Everybody say Jamaica! http://goo.gl/b/ujcg
Kel–I had NEVER heard of callalou before this. Amazing…….. I love what you’ve done with it!
