Good morning all. I can't wait for daylight savings to kick in, how about you? As I sit here it is 6:30, I've been awake for 40 minutes, and it's still pitch black out. I can never remember whether the "fall back" is moving the clocks to the right setting it would have been if we didn't have daylight savings at all, or vice versa. But I do wonder whether getting up before the dawn is good for anybody. In my case it requires coffee, and a swift perusal of the internet. Today I came across this interesting article about whether belonging to a CSA is bad for the environment if you throw out some of what you get. The answer is a) stop throwing so much out, silly, and b) no, the environmental benefits of buying from the CSA outweigh a small amount of waste.

Sadly, we're in a bit of a quandary for next year-- Wolf Pine, our CSA, has announced that it will no longer do a Portland delivery. We used to drive to Alfred weekly, and frankly, it's a huge pain in the butt, even if you don't include the cost of gas.

If any of you have any suggestions for a more local CSA or one that does delivery it would be much appreciated. I know Broadturn Farm is supposed to be good, but I think they have a waiting list.

I hope all my Canadian readers had a lovely Thanksgiving. Coincidentally, I roasted a half turkey on Monday, with herb butter (savory and sage I grew in pots) under the skin and chunks of celeriac in the bottom of the pan. I do love Fall foods.
