our local day - go local - week 9

Tracey enjoying a caprese sandwich

I just went to visit Tracey for a few days in Moscow. While we were having fun around town we decided to have an all local day on Thursday. On Wednesday night we went to the Moscow Co-op. While we were there we picked up some Moscow Sourdough bread (the most delicious whole wheat sourdough ever) and some local mozzarella cheese. The next day we went to the most amazing and affordable little produce shop called Ottos. While we were there we got beautiful yellow tomatoes and some perfectly ripened peaches.

Local grilled pizzas

The menu for our local day looked like this:

• Breakfast: Moscow Sourdough bread toasted with either local honey or local raspberry jam
• Lunch: Caprese Sandwiches: open-faced sandwiches with tomato, mozzarella, and farmer's market basil.
• Dinner: Grilled Pizza made with tomato, basil, mozzarella, and grilled summer squash. A side of tabouleh salad made with farmer's market cucumbers, basil, tomato, and garden mint (not local...bulgar) and grilled peaches.
  
• Dessert: Peach Pie

It is such a great time of year. We are happy to say that almost every single meal this week contained something that was local...corn, carrots, tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, green beans... just about everything is ready to eat!
