probably most of the peas in any grocery store are from relatively nearby, i’d guess? let me check my freezer …. ok, my “no name” peas just say Canada. not sure if that is local enough, but they were bought at the super cheap grocery store nearby.

From Tara, do you think, Tracey? I have been over the frozen fruits with a fine-toothed comb, but haven’t hit the vegetables yet. (I just know they seem to have a lot more fruit than veg, so I wasn’t hopeful.) I’ll scope it out on Thursday.

yay! glad to read the follow up! so interesting.

a couple of thoughts:
- posted this on you FB, but have an easy/yummy soda bread recipe that i’d be happy to email if you want
- suggestion on frozen, local veggies: peas

HI Kate and Matt. My name is Sarah McGaughey and I was pointed to your blog my a mutual friend because my husband and I did a similar project to yours, though not as inclusive and before we had our daughter! We just moved to Kingston and actually my husband Kyle goes to school with Matt. I just wanted to say Hi and Kudos to you. I hope we can meet someday soon in person. We can swap stories and tips and trashless snacks:)

I’m … percolating … Had big plans to write a lot on Tuesday (and boy, colour me surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed writing every day!), but ended up not having the day I had anticipated (darn kids). I am thinking maybe tomorrow morning I might have some time over a big frothy latte to put some thoughts to keyboard…. Lots running around in my brain, that’s for sure. More to follow!

No, they don’t use electricity from the phone lines. This is why the phone still works even if the power is out.
