Okay, I know I'm ridiculously behind on posting stuff here. (Blame it on the recent release of The Sims 3.) However, I did want to make a quick post that Garrick Veenstra (of Veenstra's Vegetables) is now the proud papa...

Sunday, May 31, was a day for lazing about the house and recovering from Saturday's trip to the renfair. One consequence of going to the renfair on Saturday was that we missed the Old Capitol Farmers' Market. Eek! That meant...

We spent Saturday, May 30, at the Greater St. Louis Renaissance Fair in Wentzville, MO. If you go back to the Renaissance yourself, you'll find that they apparently imported all of their food from far, far away. We didn't expect...

Breakfast On Tuesday, May 26, I was a bit slow getting moving in the morning, not to mention a bit tired of eggs for breakfast, so I had a very non-local breakfast of cold cereal, albeit with (semi-local) milk from...

Brunch Monday, May 25, was Memorial Day. My dad and step-mom had finished visiting, and I had the day off work, so that meant we could have a nice, relaxed day at last! Actually, it was such a slow day...

Brunch Sunday, May 24, got off to a slow start. My dad and step-mom were in town visiting, so we told them we would serve them lunch at our place. Somehow, we never quite got around to breakfast. (Actually, I...

Breakfast Saturday, May 23, began with a quick breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast. As before, the eggs were from Triple S Farms (Stewardson, IL, 77 miles SE of Springfield), and the honey on the toast was from from Sasse's...

Saturday we went to the Old Capitol Farmers' Market preview day; Sunday we planted about half of our garden; Monday night something ate nearly all of our strawberry plants. But that's not what I want to talk about this time....
