Working with and Paying With

Okay here is what we are working with for the next few days plus garden resources. The tomatoes make a mean sandwich or peapod salad for lunch. The MI peach makes a mean roasted fruit selection. The onions mixed with mustard greens, collard, and romaine makes a delightful shallot infused salad for dinner with purple asparagus and chickpea mash to provide the protein. Eggs supplied for the next several days and we are off and running to make it until Tuesday. The typical commentary of this would have to include the ability of folks to pay for Farmer's Market produce and feed an entire family. Aha... the industrialized food conundrum. Since Wednesday of this week, just to feed me, I have had to lay down 32 smackeroons. I am grateful that I can run this experiment this summer as I realize that not everyone can do it, even if they want to do it. That's the question, folks, that's the problem.
