One thing that is becoming very noticeable is the lack of carbohydrates in the 100 mile diet. The reduction of grain consumption has been pretty noticeable…the funny thing is, we haven’t gone nuts eating ourselves silly trying to replace them in our diet. Today, however was the first day that we’ve seen potatoes at the Farmer’s Market. We bought a small container of them that will probably end up on the grill and will most definitely satisfy our carbohydrate cravings.
Dinner tonight saw us heading back to Di Mare Seafood for some steamers…I cooked them up in about an inch of water along with some thyme and garlic. They hit the table along with some cooking broth, butter (which we had already) and a nice salad. We ended up with some leftovers which may find themselves in an omelet tomorrow. Another experiment was run for dessert…we took one pound of strawberries and made a sorbet…the recipe called for lime juice and sugar…we had a substitute on hand for the sugar- we used honey instead and had to follow a conversion for the sugar. We had a couple of limes sitting in the vegetable drawer from before the Challenge, so we used that for the lime juice. The sorbet turned out really good…we’ll have to try it with other berries…
