Jamie and I took a huge salad to a get together of friends. And, we each had it for lunch over the next few days. All the veggies were from Harmony Ridge Farm where Jamie works. The dressing was store bought - but hey, we were close to being all local and organic.

Purple Breakfast Scramble

Jamie is the cook in our family. But he was gone for the week, so I was left to my own devices. I made an egg scramble with local eggs, and veggies from the farm where Jamie works - carrots, beets, and onions mixed in with the eggs over blue potatoes.
The meal was pretty monotone in color as the beets turned my scrambled eggs purpleish and I used blue potatoes. But,  It was yummy, if I do say so myself.

Taking a Break from the Car

Bike - check. Helmet - check. Bike Lock - check. Leg strength to push myself around on this thing - I'm getting there.

I've started riding my bike to work at the school. Today was day two and I felt a lot more confident than I did yesterday. I don't have the best bike in the world and I'm not the greatest biker (a man in his 60s went zooming past me on his bike today while I was huffing and puffing). But, it's better on the environment (and better on the bank account).
We really do live in a great location to forgo the car. We can walk (or bike now) to the library, the grocery store and the pet store. We've walked to these places a number of times, but many times we get in the car because it's easier and we're a bit lazy.

Now, I am trying to be more intentional about opting not to use the car. Every little bit helps, right :)

Chipotle - Yes Please

So, exams hit, and then we were adjusting to our summer schedule - blogging went on the back burner and I sort of forgot about it. We have pictures to post of meals we've eaten, but that will have to wait until later. This post is just to share a video that is GREAT! Watch it.

Update: Many people site Chipotle's refusal to join the Campaign for Fair Food as huge negative for the chain that boasts of their integrity.
