Welcome to 2020.
Wow, what a statement. If I were watching a movie, and the screen said, “OHIO: 2020”, I would assume they meant that was some time in the future. Nope. It’s today.
And TODAY we find ourselves in the middle of the 1803 Eating Challenge.
What’s the 1803 Eating Challenge?
Simple. EVERYTHING that we eat for the month of January is going to come from Ohio.
This will
-increase the amount of plants we eat
-decrease the amount of sugar, salt, and snacking we do
-patronize our OHIO food growers during the “off” season
It’s January 1st and so far today I had a holy basil tea grown at Bailiwick Herb Farm, an apple from Glen Hill Orchard, a bag of those new “baby cukes” from 80 acres farm, and scrambled eggs from Copia.
Join me for a day, a week, or all 31 days of January and
-Get Healthy
-Feel Good
-Shop and Eat Local
  
From Bauman Orchards this week...BOSC Pears
Bosc pears have a more firm, dense flesh than other pear varieties, so they are ideal for use in baking, broiling or poaching. They retain their shape and texture better than other varieties, and their flavor is less likely to be overwhelmed by the use of strong spices like cinnamon, clove or nutmeg. Of course, they are also excellent for fresh eating, particularly by those who prefer a firm texture.
The variety was first planted in 1832 or 1833, and those trees first bore fruit in 1836. The first plantings were done in the eastern U.S., on large estate orchards and later commercial orchards.
