good luck!!!! eat local!!!!!

i wanted to write a quick post to wish good luck to all those wonderful souls out there participating in the october eat local challenge. here is a website that you can look in on to see how others are doing with the challenge. val over at the illustrated garden is giving a day by day rundown of her challenge, along with some super visuals. i will share as i find more folks doing the same, and if anyone knows of others blogging about there eat local challenge please send me the links.

my thoughts are with you. as is the guilt i will feel this month every time i consume any non local products. although i did not sign up for the challenge myself, i feel the need to participate in my own small way. for the rest of the month i will try to focus more on eating local. i should perhaps swear off the BBQ, but i don't think i can. at least once a weekend we go out to eat. this will be my down fall for sure. i wish more and more restaurants would try the switch to local goods as well. i think here in greenville we have 1, yes count it, 1 restaurant that is really giving it a go. so with all this in mind, i will try to do better. wish me luck and new garden picture will be coming soon. (boy this sure would be easier if only i lived in portland!)
