Pests in New York State?
POUND RIDGE, NY -- June 23, 2006
By Eliza Mutino
May 21 I began my all-local diet and I will continue until the end of September. It's for my school science research class, and also a personal endeavor - and I love it! I'm having pesticide levels monitored in my blood at the beginning and end of the diet to see how they change.
The first week was a bit rough before I found local flour. I cooked a whole lot of rhubarb with honey and consumed many more eggs than I usually do. My grain came in the next week so now I have pasta, bread, the works. Another great alternative I've found is cornmeal, made into cornmeal mush with maple syrup. Delicious! I also tried venison that a friend hunted along with lots of radishes and plenty of other memorable meals.
