One Local Summer::Week One

So, my One Local Summer participating got off to a rocky start, I’m already two days late with this post (and the meal, even). But I did it, and I’m proud dammit. Really proud considering both my children screamed during the preparation of this meal and Claire hasn’t stopped yet. She’s still screaming while I type.

We had salmon patties from the French Creek Fisk Market, mixed salad greens and a sauted pepper from Nanoose Edibles, with some Monterary Jill Cheese from Qualicum Cheeseworks for an extra something special. The salmon patties were simple – the salmon and an egg (a local farm egg, of course!).
I also made rice for Steve and Callum, although I skipped the rice and found the meal to be pretty satisfying on its own. California rice, at least, so it didn’t get here from India, even if it wasn’t in the 100 mile radius.
I also cheated just an itty-bitty bit and mixed mayo and dill and put it on my patties. I suppose I could have made my own mayo – is vinegar exempt? Can you buy vinegar locally?
