Turkey Soup to Cure a Cold

It seems like half of SW has been hit with a nasty cold, so I'm going to share my favorite way to cure one.  I am eating some of this right as I type and it is delicious.

You will need:

6 cups of unsalted turkey or chicken stock

1 large onion, coarsly chopped

4-8 cloves of garlic, peeled

1/2 cup brown rice

3 cups chopped turkey or chicken

Last Crazy Day: Just Water, Unsweetened, Raw, Brightly Colored, Localvore....

Woke up and inadvertently had a dry piece of whole grain toast. I plan to ignore that. Headed to the farmers market at Abington Park to hunt and gather. Filled bags with apples of two varieties, as well as local lima beans, a box of amazing grapes, and purple/black/yellow string beans. Also a green pepper. All local. All raw. All colorful.

today is localvore day!  i made a quick trip to the farmer's market the other day to pick up my supplies but had no plan, so it will be interesting to see what transpires....  i picked up a tomato, green bell pepper, tobasco peppers, dried shiitake mushrooms, 1/2 lb.

Localvore! Flog!

I stressed out about this for no reason. I get a farm share but was worried about protein and starchy carbs! So I went to City Feed and spent $15 on 6 eggs, 1 loaf of focaccia, some local salad dressing and some blue cheese.
I decided to drink fair trade coffee (my research indicated this was widely acceptable) and allowed a few other small non-local items (oil, salt, pepper).
