Found a tea company in Sebastopol with a variety called Pacific Coast Breakfast!! I crossed my fingers, but nope: it's Asian import, blended here.<BR/>Also, guilty confession: I have multiple bottles of oils. I think I'm enough of a "taster" to choose whichever oil for whichever dish... Probably deceiving myself. :( But it surely doesn't go to waste. I bathe in that stuff.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1122064533286073072005-07-22T13:35:00.000-07:002005-07-22T13:35:00.000-07:00I can't go without my tea either.No way!But part o...I can't go without my tea either.<BR/>No way!<BR/>But part of my eat local policy is that nothing already in the pantry goes to waste for the sake of eating local.<BR/>I am not going to buy new olive oil til we finish the old one (a french brand fred bought in bulk a while back that he loves)<BR/>I have enough English tea to last me a very long time. I am not going to waste it.<BR/><BR/>In the future when the oil runs dry - then I will consdeir placing it with the local stuff.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime - absolutely no waste!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081680210434938456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1122050251703803192005-07-22T09:37:00.000-07:002005-07-22T09:37:00.000-07:00Ames:The lemonlet is in a plastic tub!

You sure you couldn't find room for a 5-gallon pot? (I admit the tree is a little annoyed with me right now because I've put off repotting it in a slightly larger tub.)<BR/>I know of a chef in San Anselmo who's growing kaffir limes on her back porch!

This was before I discovered wheeled platforms to roll the pots around on.<BR/>Tonight we're baking a tomato tart with Black Princes.<BR/>You know what's at Northgate? (Besides See's -- mmm.) Orange Julius! Hey, that's local!<BR/>:)cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12774302.post-1121982065954838342005-07-21T14:41:00.000-07:002005-07-21T14:41:00.000-07:00Well, I just finished leaving you a comment on a d...Well, I just finished leaving you a comment on a different post and before leaving hit "refresh" for the heck of it. Voila! Brand new post and it starts with my name! Wow. How cool is that?<BR/><BR/>That tea sounds great. Love the baby lemons. I bought a little "garden mint" plant this spring at the garden club plant sale, and it is going crazy. I really need to make some tea.<BR/><BR/>I tried growing several types of potted citrus several years ago, but it was a diaster. A very pricey disaster. At least the two $20 limes were really tasty. . . :)<BR/><BR/>P.S. Caffeine? Chocolate! I know there used to be a See's candy at Northgate. That's local, right? :) (No See's in Missouri, sniff, sniff.)Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.com
