I thought this week was going to be a total bust... We were without power for half the week, thanks to some wicked storms. I had a business trip to Chicago - during that power outage - and add to that my kids home from school for their first week of summer break. Meh... who had time to cook or even think about shopping?!? Not I! So, today after baseball games and errands to run, I finally had a moment to think about creating a completely local meal. Most of our day to day ingredients are local - peanut butter, eggs, milk and so on. However, really thinking about each and every ingredient can be challenging!So, I present to you, after getting really hungry looking at the Green Bean's local graduation platter of sandwiches.... drumroll... Egg salad sandwich on pita with a local brewery beer. Hey, don't knock the beer folks! It's local, less than 30 miles from here and I have 4 boys and it's their playoff season in baseball - some things just go without saying!
My ingredients:
Eggs - East River Organic, Snover, MI
Mustard - Cherry Republic Cherry Mustard, Traverse City, MI
Relish - McClure's Pickles, Royal Oak, MI
Salt - Sea Salt - ???
Lettuce - Local farmer's market, Walled Lake, MI
Pita - Steve's Backroom, Harper Woods, MI
Pilsner - Atwater Brewery, Detroit, MI
