I've decided, probably with my better judgement though it might be a little sticky every once in a while, to document 30 days of eating as traceably as possible. This means I'll be making sure that I can trace all the food I eat to the source of where it's made and grown.

 

Johanna and I will be coming up with guidelines for me to go by.

She'll also be in charge of helping me find the ingredients I need.

I do realize that not everyone has the luxury of having a forager next to them 8 hours a day but we're here to share the information with you. We'll be documeting what I call the "replacement items". Finding completely tracable pasta, olive oil, salt and then highlighting the artisans, farmers, miners and how she went about finding them. I'll have a little leeway with item like spices but there will also be entries on what we're doing to

find tracable pepper, turmeric, paprika.

 

This should be as educational for us as it may be for you.

 

I'll also have a list of restauarants in our area that have been staff approved for me. They'll have to be at least 45% traceable.

 

Yup, we've found traceable, local vodka.

Holy cow.

 

So check in and watch me tackle yet another thing other than work, toddler and my own random stuff.
