And yes, King Arthur is great though I prefer to use the bulk organic flour at my bulk food store.<BR/><BR/>Beany, that's actually why I put all the links up on the right hand side. There isn't one big concentrated source of info for eating locally in Los Angeles, and I'm hoping to start compiling.<BR/><BR/>Ping Dogwood, sure start eating locally whenever you can! My challenges are all more personal challenges than group challenges, but everyone's free to play along at home!<BR/><BR/>Cae, I know, good words to live by. Or eat by. Or both I guess. :)ruchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043512641324366469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-18230266167266281892008-05-02T09:39:00.000-07:002008-05-02T09:39:00.000-07:00I'm printing that pledge out!I'm printing that pledge out!Cath@VWXYNot?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01164268321173313605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-50290339832122421932008-05-02T05:32:00.000-07:002008-05-02T05:32:00.000-07:00organicneedle - never mind - I see the link for t...organicneedle - never mind - I see the link for the recipe :)pink dogwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938574807898718022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-73531257806705733082008-05-02T05:31:00.000-07:002008-05-02T05:31:00.000-07:00I loved the locavore's pledge :)I bought a bread m...I loved the locavore's pledge :)<BR/><BR/>I bought a bread maker last thanksgiving and haven't bought any bread for myself. Even my kids finally switched over recently to home made whole grain bread. The only thing is that I bought the organic ingredients online and they are definitely not local. But the bread is very locally made.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to do this challenge as well, but thought I couldn't. But if it is just produce, then maybe I can because the farmers markets in our county start this sunday. I wonder if it is too late to join if I start this sunday?<BR/><BR/>Organicneedle - can I have the sourdough recipe? I have failed twice so far to make the starter :(pink dogwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938574807898718022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-66553147988427642492008-05-02T05:21:00.000-07:002008-05-02T05:21:00.000-07:00The locavore pledge was a godsend!

I was panicking about never being able to eat chocolate or drink coffee and when I saw the pledge I was so relieved!<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to read your posts on this month's challenge. You'll get to do all the grunt work for me so when when I move to L.A. I can just refer to your posts :)Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068855919147458057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-85152529622510205772008-05-02T03:59:00.000-07:002008-05-02T03:59:00.000-07:00Oh...and you can swap out white flour for whole wh...Oh...and you can swap out white flour for whole wheat. I do the starter in white and then use whole wheat for the rest. I have tried the starter in whole wheat but the yeast just doesn't seem as crazy about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-86427914377238383812008-05-02T03:55:00.000-07:002008-05-02T03:55:00.000-07:00I am finding bread much easier to make now that I ...I am finding bread much easier to make now that I am in the swing of it. I found a really easy sourdough recipe that requires no kneading or fancy equipment. Can't get more local than your own oven!<BR/><A HREF="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sourdough-Bread/Detail.aspx" REL="nofollow">Sourdough Recipe</A><BR/>You can make 4 smaller loaves instead of 2 big ones if you can't eat a big loaf before it goes stale.(Without the preservatives homemade bread goes stale much faster than the pickled store version.) The loaves freeze very well. <BR/><BR/>If you can't find local grains, King Arthur is a great little company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
