There is a lot to be said for home grown and local food. We are very
lucky in the PNW to be as close to our food as we are. Not as crap
free as we might like but definitely a cut above.

Still, a meal of your own grown stuff is pretty special. Summer is
best. Not much left in the garden now, a little mizuna, some Italian
bottle onions. some neglected apples. But still have a little bacon,
some ham, some chops from the last pig, and a couple of bottles of
cider whose sugar has made the conversion. Nothing like home grown to
awaken and feed the inner peasant.

And a friend just presented us with some nice Alaskan sockeye and
halibut fillet.
