I should have mentioned when I decided to take on this challenge on behalf of my family, that we are in the middle of harvest! This means that we rely heavily on fast easy meals, chocolate and any other energy boosting sugary foods. We are also rarely home between sun up and sun down! Add a 10 month old in to the mix and our household is somewhat chaotic at the moment.
None the less hopefully we will come up with some exciting meals and can be a bit adventurous with the local products we have in the house and stick to the challenge!
Today is Sunday, and a ‘semi’ day of rest, kind of. Not Really! Sunday at the moment kind of feels a bit between Wednesday ‘hump day’ and Friday. It is our last day of markets for the week (yay), but it also mean that harvest begins all over again tomorrow!
