Clearly I have pissed off the gods somewhere. This month has begun with every imaginable thing going wrong. As well as some unimaginable things going wrong. I suspect my riot numbers this month will be equal to that of an average U.S. consumer. What joy.
The most recent bad thing was the heat wave + motherboard melting + hard drive crashing (data was recovered). Oh…and all my worms died because of the initial set of bad things happening that made me forget about them during the last week’s heat wave. And my cilantro plant died.
I haven’t posted last week’s meal for One Local summer because I was out of town and busy and stressed and sleep deprived. Yes, I ate meals of questionable origin.
I won’t be submitting this week’s meal to the FarmtoPhilly site, but I think it counts anyway. I made this for husband this morning. Its scrambled eggs in duck fat. I made duck curry for husband yesterday and the resulting fat was saved for the scrambled eggs this morning which also had fried onions and mushrooms. Husband liked both the duck curry and the scrambled eggs.
Hopefully things get back to normal in a few days so I can putter around in the kitchen again.






Hope things start looking up. Having just had two weeks with the same feeling (everything that could go wrong did), I feel for you. I promise. It does get better (although I do confess to hiding in bed more than usual to avoid additional mishaps). Hang in there!

Thanks Heather! I’ve been hiding indoors all day, maybe I should look into that voodoo book my husband’s been reading.

Oh man! Your worms died! I hate it when that happens. I killed mine twice.
Good luck - and don’t worry. We all know you cook do the local cooking thing with one hand and a skillet tied behind your back. Better luck this week.

I was thinking the same thing. Someone is playing with the Heather voodoo doll. Who did I piss off?

O happy day! Someone has offered me some worms via freecycle.

It’s hard to stay on track with things like local eating when everything else goes haywire, isn’t it? but the good news is that like heather says, everything eventually gets better!
