Groceries

Nikki and I were both up this morning so we decided to head to the Arlington Farmers Market. From reading Omnivore's Dilemma I knew that Joel Salatin has beef there in the fall and winter. (Like fruits and vegtetables, his meats are seasonal. Also, I should say Eco-Friendly Foods is there, not Polyface directly.) Sure enough they had a number of beef cuts but we ended getting some delicious looking pork chops. I have had their pork chops before and they are incredible. We also got some grassfed lamb chops and free range eggs from Smithfresh Meats. We then went to Whole Foods and spent over 30 bucks on milk (this is a ice cream and cheese making weekend). Finally a stop at Trader Joe's for some cheese and staples.

I'm not sure what kind of ice cream I'm going to make. I have this Elderberry flower concentrate from IKEA that I am thinking about using. I also have a can of organic pumpkin on the shelf that would be good. I have a request from the pregnant lady of the house for some of fresh goat's milk feta so that's decided. Nikki can't eat soft cheese from the store because of the danger of listeria, so if I don't make it myself she can't have any.
