Down To Earth

Locavore Day 1 Bart:

Eating healthy for being healthy?  Sounds about right. 

You know that saying about money burning a hole in your pocket, well, that's what it was like sitting on this $15 coupon for Main Market co-op.  It broke down like this - $5 off your purchase, $5 more off if you are a member, and $5 more off if you alternatively commuted there (bike, bus, carpool).  So couple that with the $25 that the federal government pays me each month to ride my bike to work, and that's $40 of healthy-living incentive money to put towards buying local, sustainable, and damn good food. 

Which is exactly what I did.  Hello Small Planet Tofu, Petit Chat Bakery bread, organic veggies, Spokane Family Farms milk, Bumble Bars, and DOMA coffee.  Oh and when I was in Sandpoint over the weekend I stocked up on Dogzilla IPA from Laughing Dog Brewery as well. Combine that with the pickled veggies and jelly my neighbor Joe swapped me last harvest season and the salsa and preserved fruit and veggies I made myself and I have no worries in the world.  Except that I'm late for work and haven't eaten breakfast yet.  Hardboiled eggs and toast to go.

Spokavore on!
