I've borrowed Animal, Vegetable, Miracle from the library based on people's recommendations here, and so far it is very readable!

Picked up some local honey from the hardware store yesterday and I'm planning to make this honey walnut recipe again: http://www.abc.net.au/local/recipes/2009/07/30/2640769.htm
(the balsamic vinegar sounded a bit strange, but it works really well!)

Well done. Check out local honey for some of your ...

Well done. Check out local honey for some of your sugar supplies. I expect there to be some available from within your local radius.

Hope 2010 is a happy and rain-full year for you (you're welcome to what I'm getting right now)

Looks as if you are doing quite well so far. I enjoyed reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle as well. We try to buy and eat local as much as possible but I don't think my husband will ever give up his sugar fix.

It certainly is a challenging exercise. I did start down that path myself a while ago but got waylayed by other things that felt more achievable at the time. I didn't go backwards but I certainly haven't gone forward from that point. I probably should go through my pantry again and give it another try.

Good Luck
Belinda

Seconding Rose - Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is a great book for locavores to enjoy. In their challenge, each family member was allowed one 'treat' food that was able to be sourced from anywhere in the world. I think coffee was picked by someone, bananas by someone else?

Great start! I was wondering whether you drank tea & coffee, and what you were going to do about that part!

Impressive. How you read Barbara Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle"? It covers just this.

Well done, I had thought about doing that too but a 160 km from Sydney does not provide everything we need. I decided it would be more realisitic for us to grow more of our own to compensate for that which comes from non local sources. I am going to add tea and coffee bushes to my new garden.

Can you get rice locally, we eat alot of that? What about milk?
