Tonight’s Dinner : 100 Percent Organic, 90 Percent Local
Tonight’s dinner: Pasta with lemon-basil pesto and sautéed tomatoes.
Organic whole-wheat spaghetti from DeBoles, manufactured in Melville, NY, which is about 35 miles of NYC, where I picked it up. On sale, too (20 percent off, baby!)
From my CSA organic farmer: A Cherokee purple heirloom tomato, a hybrid tomato I forgot the name of, garlic, sweet onions, and lemon basil. The only non-local ingredients were the olive oil, salt, pepper, and dashes of dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, and oregano) from my spice rack.
Tasty! I do love me some lemon basil.

That is one gorgeous meal! And it totally qualifies as an entry in my One Local Summer challenge, if you’d like to participate this week. (just let me know!)
