I just read that NaBloPoMo is going monthly. Mrs. Kennedy is expanding the concept beyond November and will have a different theme for each month. For those that want to participate you can add your blog to the monthly blogroll on the NaBloPoMo site.
This month's theme is lists, and while I won't be posting a list everyday, I thought I'd at least share what we got at the farmer's market today. I haven't figured out what I'm making this week yet so I'm hoping that listing everything will help to shake out some ideas.
P.S. As a family we are still not eating red meat and meat in general, although this week, we did have an organic roast chicken. I am slowly trying to use up the meat in our freezer (where the chicken came from) and there isn't much left aside from some turkey meatballs, some Virgina ham, and a package of brats. I haven't purchased any meat for the last two shopping trips...although, I have to admit, the charcuterie guy at the farmer's market was tempting me with his sausages, salami, and duck confit. Sigh.

And from the natural foods market next to the farmer's market:

Check back tomorrow to see what these ingredients will turn into for the week. And if you have any suggestions, please share them!
