We got home last night after spending 9 days in the Charente Maritime. The trip back was exhausting. It involved three plane trips for a total of around 14 hours in the air. Plus the rushing through airports/customs/passport control/security. Multiple times.
And then I only slept for about 4 hours.
I need a vacation.
This is the second week of our CSA participation this year, and the first week we have received strawberries. And all we received was a single pint of them.
Next week we will miss out, as we will be out of town. Some friends will take our share for the week. There might be a final pint or quart of strawberries the next week, but they will be about it.
I know we can get strawberries at the grocery most of the year now, but we are trying to be locavores as much as possible. Buying only locally produced, seasonal foods.
It's tough to do, but we do what we can. The CSA program has helped.
But it is hard to resist the nice looking produce at The Fresh Market and Whole Foods. Produce that has traveled thousands of miles to get here.
