local

i'm kind of a freak when it comes to eating local, maybe to a fault, but it just makes so much sense to me. i'm dying for california blueberries to come in because all we have in the stores are transported from chile and mexico. that's way too much transport for me to pay for or encourage. a few weeks ago i saw this super cool local foods wheel at green apple books. i thought it would be great to give to someone, but thought it might be obnoxious as well so i didn't get it. today's "the kitchn" weekly e mail from apartment therapy was all about eating local "tools". the local foods wheel is featured, along with a peak-season map from epicurious (bookmarked!), and an locavore iphone app for $2.99. damn, this was the iphone app i was meant to come up with!
