Save to del.icio.us
Day 4 or 5
Today I realized that the sacrifices endured while eating local food are not the foods themselves but the time that I don’t get to spend eating with my friends, socializing with people or being spontaneous.”
The food is great. I’m learning loads about new vegetables and preparing things I’ve never made before, and I like experimenting . But after what, like four days, I didn’t want to go without coffee anymore. I spent hours at the Bean sippin a latte and ruminating over what this meant, and all I concretely decided is that I’m lonely and I have to work faster. Their beans are locally roasted and come from fair-trade, small scale organic farms, and I’m okay with that in the context of this work because drinking coffee is a simple entrance to social environments that I want right now.
