Here’s where I admit there was a little cheating going on with a few of our ‘weeks’ in the challenge. We had a two week vacation to Scotland, so these weren’t exactly cooked during the exact week listed. It’s pretty close, but I figure we’re still making the local meal, even if it’s later, so it counts in my book. This meal is particularly interesting. The sausage is from a little farm in New Hampshire, so it’s not local to where my home is, but we passed through while on vacation, so I’m saying it works. The farm is a small farm, run by a lovely couple, and every time we vacation up that way, we stop in usually to feed my yarn and fiber habit, but decided to bring back home some meat this time. Husband wasn’t as impressed with the taste of the goat meat – the texture is more firm than other sausages – but I liked it well enough. The meal is your basic sausage and peppers, with tomato sauce we made using tomatoes from our garden. It’s been a really great year for tomatoes, finally, given the last two were pretty dismal. Here’s the ingredient rundown, and I’m still catching up on posts for the last few weeks, so bear with me!
