We are having duck which I have the butcher slice in half and I am cooking one half sweet with cherries/cranberry glaze and the other with jalapenos and spices tucked under the skin. I plan on duck hash on toasted baggets the next day when more company comes over. A lot of our vegetables will be fresh.: Salata de vinete, eggplant salad and I learned how to make marshmallows so they will go on top of the sweet potatoes. I am making mashed cauliflower. It is a great replacement for mashed potatoes. A casserole of Fava beans and green beans. We are not big on meat but it is still in our diet as a treat. The vegetables all local grown.

I will also be making homemade stuffing (for the first time) and using local flour to make the bread that will turn into stuffing. On that note, my dinner rolls will also be made with local flour. Hmmm.... I hope to use more local ingredients too! I am making apple pie with local apples.

Most of our veggies will be from our garden, and our deviled eggs will be straight from our own chickens. Next spring we're getting a turkey to raise for Thanksgiving, which I'm sure will be an adventure! It's so great to see so many people eatting locally! Fabulous post!! :-) Love, love, love it!!!!

Instead we head over to my aunt's and I can't be sure it will be local, but I am sure it will be delicious. I love your dedication though Katie!

It always has such a different flavor from what we usually find at the super market. I'm reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle right now and I feel like I'm nodding my head over ever single page! P.S. I will email you back soon - time has gotten away from me lately!
