Eating at Home on the First

[errantember]

The first of each month I only eat or drink things I've raised or brewed on my property. This month I was worried, because while my potatoes are going gangbusters, they're definitely nowhere near harvest. I did start mounding up the dirt around the leaves today, though!



I had 5 eggs in reserve, and some very scrubby carrots and tiny sweet potatoes from last month. I also had salt, pepper, and butter that I had previously traded worldmegan kombucha for. I also had kombucha, but it's very *bad* kombucha. I drank some anyway. At least it's fizzy! Here are some shots of my biggest meal. More info and tales of dearth if you click on the pics!

Dude, the beautiful pictures make your sparsely-fed April 1st look WAY better than it sounded when we talked last night. My first reaction to this post was a tiny spark of envy -- delicious-looking house-made food! I know that's funny, given the gnarliness of the carrots and fewer eggs than expected, but it's still really COOL. ^_^

It feels really good to eat it. Normally, before I eat, I think about where each item in the meal came from before I do. Often this is a frustrating and very theoretical exercise that delays getting food in my hungry tummy, but not on the first!
