More Menus

Guess we're moving into the home stretch here. I haven't been feeling well the past couple days, and I was very much missing my convenience foods. I am on the one hand really looking forward to October first, and on the other hand thinking I'm going to miss the discipline of eating entirely locally. It will be interesting to see how many of the new eating patterns stick once the month is over.
