Eat Local & Seasonal in August

2:46 PM

'Tis the season to eat vegetables!  Get yourself to the Farmer's Market, my friends.  Just about everything is in season right now.  Fill your fridge.  Get your canning supplies together and start gathering up your favourite berries and fruits.

It's insanely hot right now, and no one wants to spend a day or two over a hot stove.  I know I don't; but just think of how happy you'll be when it's snowing outside and you can pull a taste of the summer sun off the shelf of your pantry.
