A whiny blog?
So I don’t mean to make this a whiny blog but its been a whiny week. I knew this would be a test of will and self restraint but I guess I tend to do what i want most of the time! Its been a bit of an adjustment, not just in what I eat but how I interacts with other people (who also eat). So while its frustrating, its also really interesting to see how complicated our relationship to food is....

I need to figure out my snack...

I decided to move the blog over...

So day 1 is almost over, and going good so far! I started out with cherrios for breakfast in efforts to use up the milk i still have. I think in order to not be wasteful I will eat the remaining perishable items I have but I don’t have a ton since I haven’t gone grocery shopping in about a week. I have left some milk, yogurt, and cheese. Lunch- See video Dinner - Butternut Squash...

The night before local eating starts!!
So its the night before I start my local food challenge. As part of my senior thesis project I will be eating only food within 100 miles of boston. I’ve been working on a project exploring local food production since august and now I’m taking a plunge into my subject matter. Instead of merely observing and photographing others I am myself participating in my subject matter. Other than...
