Vivian on 
100 mile dinner
My friend (and bridesmaid) Amy’s doing the hundred mile diet, and it’s sorta my fault (long story).
It was Friday afternoon and we had invited her over to dinner that night, when we realised this. Ooops. We couldn’t just show up at the grocery store and grab whatever’s there…
Thankfully, we live in a delightful little neighborhood that happens to have little local and organic butchers, bakers, cheesemongers and green-grocers – all within a 1 block radius of each other.
We picked up some local sourced pizza dough from the Brick Street Bakery, some organic local sheeps-milk gouda from the Leslieville Cheese Shop, some asparagus from my parents backyard, and took it all home where we made it into a pizza blanco with some butter and my home-grown, sun-dried heirloom tomatoes (from last fall’s garden).
It was, hands down, the best pizza I’ve ever had.
There may be something to this whole hundred mile diet thing…
My goodness that looks so bloody delicious!!!
is the 100 mile diet to lose weight or is it just to be more conscientious about what you’re eating?
Thank you, Kayla. You need to come over for some of my cookin’ soon!
Christine: I think it’s definitely more of an awareness thing. Although depending on how well you do it, it might cause some weight loss.
Quote Beth, “depending on how well you do it, it might cause some weight loss.”
I suppose it can be a diet if you can’t find any good food w/in 100 miles.
Yeah, that was pretty much my point.
Thanks for the asparagus dad. It came in handy.
And the comment, actually. You can comment anytime!
Oh, I have wanted to try this for awhile! Perhaps this is the summer that we do it as I finally have a garden to perhaps grow some goodies. And HEY methinks we live in the same ‘hood! How funny! If you find a farmer’s market nearby, you have to share the details!
