Cape Breton Local Food Adventure

Dave here…

Looking forward to the Sydney Farmers’ Market tomorrow as we are running low on a few things.  It can be hard sometimes on this diet because you often can’t just whip up something quick.  For a quick snack I’ve been resorting to boiling up a few eggs or having a bowl of applesauce.

It’s hard to beleive that there are only fives days left.  We are going to try and continue to eat as much local as possible afterwards.  Moreover than that, we will continue to focus on “real food” – food that hasn’t been processed or altered to any great extent.

Breakfast: Potato Pancakes

The potato pancakes really enjoyed the addition of home made ketchup.  Faith didn’t taste much, she’s all stuffed up with a head cold.  I still haven’t talked about Kholrabi Saurkraut – I’ll have to do that in an upcoming post.
