Last week’s OLS meal was probably my simplest ever–it’s been hot enough that all I wanted was a salad.
Fresh Tofu Inc. tofu, Mill Creek Farm cucumber, local zucchini from the co-op, green pepper from a farmers’ market stand whose name I don’t know, red pepper from North Star Orchard, maybe an eighth of a sweet onion that was marked local at the co-op.
I had this for two meals, actually, once with a non-local dressing, once just plain, enjoying the veggie flavors. (Yes, yes, I’m an omnivore and I like plain tofu.)
We’re also now into my favorite time of year: apple season. I’ll certainly be happier when apple season includes weather that allows sleep without air conditioning, but Summer Blaze and Ginger Gold apples help a lot with my heat tolerance. (Now, if I could just find local peanut butter…)

Would Conshohocken be close enough?

Edward Freemans is an amazing place. Not sure how organic anything is, including their peanut butter, but you could ask. The whole place smells like roasting peanuts, almonds, wasabi peas, and malted balls.
It isn’t too far off the train line in Conshohocken either, and it goes right by where Anj cycles.
