The 100-Mile Diet
This morning Mom and Dad started on the 100-mile diet for one week: eating and drinking only what is grown within 100 miles of our home in Oakland. Living in Northern California during the height of the harvest season, how hard can that be?! You can get most of what you need at our local farmer's market, 
including fresh seafood, pork, cheese, and eggs (not to mention Napa Valley wine and Tomales Bay oysters) but there's no red meat, wheat, oats or coffee/tea so no burgers, beer, bread, hot drinks, or (sniff) cereal. Instead they had to *sacrifice* with heirloom tomato-avocado-oyster mushroom-cheddar omelets with fresh peaches and strawberries for breakfast.

While I'm officially exempted, Violet and I did do our part by ingesting a couple handfuls of local sand yesterday.
