Food Lately, November Style

The last two weeks have been about cleaning up from the chaos of the previous few months, organizing everything within reach, and setting up for a solid start to 2016. I’ve been doing a little more of a local and multi-source roundup for food stuffs lately, trying to both create and save a little change in the process….
