Even if the flour is local, doesn't mean the wheat was locally grown. Keep grinding away at it, so to speak. You just might find something.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-34974502017741992732008-01-15T08:00:00.000-05:002008-01-15T08:00:00.000-05:00Hi Ed,I too am lamenting the fact that I can't get...Hi Ed,<BR/><BR/>I too am lamenting the fact that I can't get local wheat. I'm in CT and have not been able to find any wheat (certainly not durum) growing in this part of the country. More troubling is that I cannot tell where the wheat/flour I can get did come from.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807420694293527967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-86421112630207664462008-01-14T06:43:00.000-05:002008-01-14T06:43:00.000-05:00Mary Ann, thanks for your support.

There aren't many of them milling their own flour any more. Enjoy the chicken tet.Ed Bruskehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217850970833353800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5603202988847584283.post-70261644883545683002008-01-11T11:59:00.000-05:002008-01-11T11:59:00.000-05:00Dear Ed, I am reading "Plenty" as well as "Animal...Dear Ed, <BR/><BR/>I am reading "Plenty" as well as "Animal, Veg" and just finished "In Defense of Food." You are doing a great job on the Dark Days menu and you should stop being desperate. An admirable undertaking to be sure, but never fear, even the pioneers had to go to town once a year for 100 pounds of coffee, some flour and some sugar. I am not going to hold the King Arthur flour ag'in you. I have King Arthur flour in my pantry and my relatives own a wheat farm. It is 300 miles from here but who knows where the wheat ends up.<BR/><BR/>You are doing a great job. I will use your recipe but will call it Chicken Tet. Chicken and eggs are local, King Arthur flour, local onions (some actually gleaned from the side of the road), and mushrooms (maybe local). <BR/><BR/>Bon Appetit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
