And it starts.

Last night it was pumpkin muffins. This morning it is pumpkin pancakes, cobbled together from a couple different recipes and my own second guessing.

1 cup white whole wheat flour*
1 cup flaxseed & multigrain flour* (a wonderful new thing from the bulk bins at Whole Foods)
2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
3 Tbsp light brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (or less; I love it so I use lots)
1/4 tsp ginger powder
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie mix)
1 egg
2 cups buttermilk**

I am intrigued but deep down I want to know where my BLT vending machine is.

These days Dana is getting more and more into exploring local produce and agriculture. There are a lot of upsides to the concept, from supporting the community, to eating organic, to reducing the fuel and other infrastructure we require to support ourselves. It seems we're not alone on this, we continue to hear and read about others doing the same, a sort of groundswell of interest in urban agriculture, self-sufficiency, even guerrilla gardening.
