Locavore Thanksgiving - brunch
My original plan was for a pretty standard skillet fry, using ground beef instead of sausage and tossing in some spinach. Local conditions forced me to somewhat modify things, however, as the local chickens are molting at the moment (and hence not producing eggs) and there was no local spinach - or onions for that matter.
Instead I made the skillet fry with local potatoes and local shallots, seasoning it with locally made hot sauce, locally grown garlic, and locally produced cheese. The only ingredients not local were the pepper I used for seasoning, and the canola oil that I cooked the potatoes in (if I had been thinking I would have gotten 80% lean ground beef, and cooked the potatoes in the grease from that). Washed down with locally roasted (decaf) coffee sweetened with locally produced cocoa and locally produced cream, it was quite a tasty way to start the day, and filling enough to fortify us until dinner time.
