Localvore Challenge, Day 2

[ashnistrike]

Breakfast: omelet--much like yesterday, but with dill, and chicken fat added to the butter.  Much tastier!

Lunch: leftover meatloaf, and the last of the chicken.  And a plum.  Nameseeker was on the road, and as she has to eat whatevers available when she has the time, her lunch was an exception.

Dinner

venison steaks (delicious!)

venison (more from the Craigslist barter)
butter
wine
garlic

potato hash (unsuccessful--fails entirely without salt)

potatoes
onion (farmers' market)
garlic
butter
chicken stock
wine
sour cream (Oberweiss Dairy.  Possibly turns out to be a partial exception--I took a look at the ingredients, and bleah!  I can't imagine "guar gum" comes from the midwest.  That's what I get for buying from a Republican.)

I have learned today:

-why my ancestors were obsessed with schmaltz.  Unfortunately, I have also used it up.
-that not all my cats can be trusted with venison scraps.
-that salt is more useful than one might think, at least if one is me.

I miss olive oil, mayonnaise, salt, and dried spices.  On the other hand, I'm not looking forward to going back to normal meat, butter, and garlic.
