Read the Label.....





Our Locavore quest was certainly in question on this day! Just 99 cents for a mix of peppercorns(including PINK ones) in a grinder...real fresh pepper! Imagine our surprise when Robert read the label on the roasted garlic and sea salt grinder.............packed in France. FRANCE????? Oh my......... Instead of going to the garden for Roma tomatoes and garlic, I had opened a jar of store salsa to add to our roasted pepper and Hugo fresh egg and our own red potato frittata special Sunday breakfast. The salsa jar label told us it came from Rochester New York. hhhmmm.....

Well, as we eat what we can grow and find within 100 miles, we have fewer and fewer labels to read. Robert is doing his part to keep us eating ethically.
