Celebration!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH???

Yup, that's right. Tuesday, September 18 marks a month of eating within 100/250 miles of SLC. It has been a short and sometimes long road so it calls for a celebration, one last Hoorah!

Please join us at our place at 7pm for a potluck extraordinaire. (We'll supply the dishes and utensils this time!) Just bring a local dish (must have ingredients that are from less than 250/100 miles away only!) to share and something non-local that you really missed. Wrap that non-local food up and at the end of the evening we'll exchange the mystery foods with one another!

Please RSVP if you are coming to: heidinger at comcast dot net and we'll send directions.

Kickoff Party!

This Sunday we'll be eating local brunches and loving every bite! So, we thought we'd send out a more detailed blog announcement about the Kick-off Party. The blog has reached even more people, so this promises to be one great starter event! On that note here's the details for you and feel free to pass them on:

Where: Mike and Andrea's House: Please e-mail us for our address,
heidinger [at] comcast [dot] net

When: Sat., August 18, come anytime after 7PM (This should give you time to attend WCG's Salsa Party, and even enter a salsa for details check out: http://www.wasatchgardens.org/)

What to Bring:
A dish to share made from all local ingredients and marked as being within 100 or 250 miles.
A hard copy of the recipe of the dish you brought (we'll post them for people to copy down). Some utensils, plates and/or bowls to enjoy the fine vittles with!
Any type of drinks you'd prefer.
Any extra food you would like to trade for other food, i.e. we'll have flour (lots of unbleached and whole wheat) and maybe cucumbers and herbs.
A t-shirt design if you've got an idea... maybe we can get grocery bags instead?

We'll take care of the rest and can't wait to see you all!

Until then, good luck in your preparations,

Mike and Andrea

Why are YOU taking the challenge?

Lis asks, "I'm curious to hear everyone's motivations for taking on the challenge. What motivates you? what do you hope to gain? how are you interpreting 'eat local'?"
