Early Round-Up

I was looking at another blog in which the author is doing the 100 mile diet. I've never aimed for a 100 mile diet (New Mexico was way, way to spread out for that) but I did aim for 500 miles. Reading Gavin's post, I found it interesting that he's including % of local in his weekly accounts. So, even if you're not particularly interested in my local percentage rates, I am, and I think keeping myself accountable by putting the figures online will help me figure out where I am with staying on track. I'd like to get to about 90% local.

Saturday 1/9
Breakfast: N/A
Lunch: I don't remember, scavenged from refrigerator
Dinner: Lasagna. Noodles (not local). Sauce (home canned :) the last :( of my tomatoes this year) veggies (all Boston organics), three types of cheese (all not local) Cost, about $30 for 4 meals.
Total: 70%

Sunday 1/10

Total: 60%

While I realize this is a somewhat guestimated calculation, it's as close as I can get to realistic without becoming too anal retentive. No idea yet what I'll do about Friday. I'm possibly make another loaf of bread and buy some local cheeses. I still have to use up a brassica, carrots, turnip, and some lettuce.
