Well, I just picked up a book on a whim at Costco while buying the ordinary things (diapers, detergent, strawberries). It's called Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and is about a family who decides to eat only locally grown food for one year. Well, it turns out that much of it reminds me of the propaganda exhibits I saw in museums in Germany, but there is a lot of great info in there, too. I'm muddling through it to get to the good parts that are actually about the family and their food trials. But preachy as it is, it is also inspiring in parts, and makes me yearn to go the Farmer's Market. Yes, I think I'll go this week.
