I was pretty sure it wasn't horses, or hay or anything like that, questioned my friend who owned the ranch about any new cleaning products, nothing new there. finally one night I woke up feeling like I had fallen into a best of fire ants, and I had scarlet splotches all over. went into the ER and that's when I found out I have the food allergies. in addition to that I LIKE food! I like it a LOT! I can do gourmet, home cookin' several ethnicities, on and on, but I want it to be good with healthy ingredients.
so today's brunch; local grass fed beef, farm fresh eggs, and local potatoes

I got spoiled, living in rural Texas and having friends who owned ranches. Local meat, eggs, and veggies (we had a fantastic farm stand in the last town I lived in there).
I've just now found a source for wonderful fresh eggs and meat (although the meat's going to be a challenge unless I buy a chest freezer!). There is no CSA, farmshare, or anything here, except the seasonal corn stands that pop up everywhere during corn season. (It is Illinois, after all)! I'm hoping my egg source will also become my veggie source, as she says she has fresh veggies in season.
