Home made tomato sauce is simmering on the stove. Pesto is in the fridge, mayonnaise recipe is open on another webpage.
Local food week is coming tomorrow. Coffee today and chocolate tonight will have to see me through.... they don't come from the Adelaide hills and plains like the other $150 worth of stuff we purchased this morning from the Adelaide Showgrounds Farmers Markets.
It was great going to the markets with Kelly's aunty and chewing the rind so to speak about local food after loading up. It was her first time to these markets and I'm sure they'll be semi-regular now. I forgot to get my bush tucker icecream this week come to think of it.
Thank the Deity that we have local wine as we'd have nothing else to drink other than water, milk or fruit juice. Does anyone else have a caffiene fix hot drink solution? The Moroccon Mint we bought this morning is only going to be good for about 3 cups before it's decimated.
Any one got some good home cropping going on? We have 10 green tomatos, 1 pod of purple climbing and about 3 Madagaskar bean pods, 15 rocket leaves, lots of parsley and frilly lettuce seed, and 1/2" -6" high seedlings at home and in our Green St plot. Tomorrow morning we'll be popping into my mums and raiding her apricot tree, tomato and strawberry plants.
Hope to read some more blogs soon.

Hey Sheldon! Sounds like amazing things are happening at your place. Some ideas for coffee substitutes (I don't think if any of these have the caffeine you might be seeking, but they could somehow trick your mind into thinking you've got it). You could try wattle seed tea - there's wattleseed harvested, roasted and ground in the southern Flinders and may be available from Goodies & Grains or Wilson's. You could also hunt around for dandelion or chicory plants and if you roast the thick roots and grind them they also offer a substitute. Beyond that ... Sophie just suggested that instead of hot chocolate you could try hot carob: I haven't seen any local carob powder around however, so it could be a bit of a hunt for you.
Good luck!
