We don't grow rice locally, salt is mined far, far away. Sugar cane
does not do well in the local climate, etc. etc.
No, but you can get a lot of your veggies and meats locally. I didn't
mean to say buy everything local, just what you can, and look for the
best value in what has to be brought in, otherwise.

You could buy the fruit locally if you lived in some Asian regions. (G)

I could buy it at the Asian Foods Store until the tornadoes did a job
on it and the Mr. Battery next door. They found batteries as much as a mile from the site of the (former) building. And there were reports of
the odd durian with its spiky husk being found in some back yards.

About as local as you could get, plus the shipping in from several thousand miles away. Tornadoes do put an end to so many places like
that; usually the owners have no or insufficient insurance to rebuild
or just don't want to rebuild.

No surprise. We've not been thru tornadoes--had some close calls but
the pictures I've seen of the aftermath, even relatively near us, is enough to scare you.

The core business was Asian restaurant foods supply. They relocated to
the St. Louis Metro area.

I've been near enough to tornadoes - one took a path through the back
yard of my house .... amd didn't disturb a shingle. Didn't do the next door neighbour's garage a world of good, thought. Our school sports
teams were called the "Tornadoes".
The tornadoes that took out the Asian Supply criss crossed Springfield within two hours of each other. I was livig in a mobile home at the
time.
All jokes to the contrary about trailer parks being tornado magnets -
we didn't even lose any branches off of the trees. The Path of the
storms
though looked like pictures I have seen of war zones after heavy
bombing.
I sort of thought of it as Mother Nature's urban renewal.

Just a bit too far to make a casual, drop in, shopping trip. On our
way home from the Outer Banks yesterday we took a route that would take
us by a quilt shop we'd stopped at before. So, we stopped--and shopped.
We also, since we had it with us, pulled the sewing machine that we
keep in the camper out and turned it in for servicing. It had never
been serviced in the 15 year history of owning it (Deborah owned it for
a while but never got it serviced.) so we figured it was about time to
get it cleaned, etc. We'll pick it up next week, and probably do more shopping.

Title: The Urban Peasant's Cauliflower Cheese
Looks good. Steve doesn't like caulifower that much if it's plain but
is more willing to eat it if I put a cheese sauce on it. Even some
grated Parm will make a difference; I did it that way when the girls
were still living at home and every bit was eaten.

Any excuse to get back for more fresh seafood, right?

Nor have we. We have been through multiple hurricanes, and even an earthquake -- but the thought of a tornadoe is the most scary. Even though a hurricane does damage over a wider area, the fact that it is coming is predicable days in advance. For a tornado, the time frame
is only minutes.

I recall the cauliflower pizza that Michael made up at the pond for us all. That was decent. I've also heard that mashed cauliflower makes
a reasonable substitute for mashed potatoes.
