Tonight my Slow Food convivium is having dinner at a restaurant in Carrboro called Panzanella. It's a unique place-- it is a community-owned restaurant, and part of the wonderful Weaver Street Market, also a co-op. So tonight is the first Totally Local Dinner-- all the ingredients are, well, totally local (grown within 250 miles). Part of the proceeds will benefit the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association.
If you can't join us, well, find a farmer and give 'em a hug. And buy their produce. Oh, and let me interest you in some reading: our convivium leader is a decent writer-- check out his food articles for the (Durham) Independent Weekly.
Saturday our convivium is having a tomato tasting at the Durham Farmers Market. I'll be the one cutting up tomatoes!
