last of the 2010 market loot

ah, last day of 2010. i really don't feel like doing any kind of end of the year re-cap and i certainly don't wanna make any resolutions for 2011. so for this post i'll just go on business as usual. however, there is one tiny little project that i would like to resurrect from the past and feel free to join me if you'd like. it was an idea that i had way back in october of 2008. i was on top of it for a month or two (well maybe that long) and then like all other projects i start, i either forgot about it and went on to something else or just got lazy and didn't do it anymore. so being who i am, i can't promise that that won't happen again this time. but i really want to try this particular food project/challenge again. now there are quite a few local food challenges out there that i could sign up for, such as this one or this one, but that takes a wee bit more commitment than i'm willing to offer up at this point. i mean really folks, i cant even decided on whether i wanna comment to this free community garden class. did i say free, yes it's FREE and i still can commit. what on microbial earth is wrong with me?? but anyway, back to the project. for this new year i am bringing back to this blog the 3G project!!!!!! (if you're like me and can't really remember the gist of the project and would like to refresh yourself as to the basics go here.) i think i will be making a few adjustments in the project which i'll talk about in the next post. i'm also thinking about signing up for a CSA. but for now let's kick off the project and take a look at the little bit of loot that i scored at maude's market yesterday.
