To a Goose and to my Belly

this was sent to me a long time ago, and I came across this the other day - food was on the mind "YES"


To a Goose

If thou didst feed on western plains of yore;

Or waddle wide with flat and flabby feet

Over some Cambrian mountain's plashy moor;

Or find in famer's yard a safe retreat

From gypsy thieves, and foxes sly and fleet;

If thy grey quills, by lawyer guided, trace

Deeds big with ruin to some wretched race,

Or love-sick poet's sonnet, sad and sweet,

Wailing the rigour of his lady fair;

Or if, the drudge of housemaid's daily toil,

Cobwebs and dust thy pinions white besoil,

Departed Goose! I neither know nor care.

But this I know, that we pronounced thee fine,

Seasoned with sage and onions, and port wine.

 By Robert Southey

Fighting Creek Deli is Now Open and We LOVE it

Boondocking this year has been very terrible on us where food is concerned. No refrigerator use at all this year, so everything is either dry or we buy fresh. The only problem is that the nearest food store is 25 miles for food that is cheaper to buy or 21 miles the other way and pay double the price. In between that is a location called FIGHTING CREEK gas station living off fresh eggs, bacon and apples or oranges. Now we don't have to, their deli is now opened and we are saved.... Pricey but if you consider the gas to be used to travel it's well worth the price. Fighting Creek has taken the best care for us this summer. We love EVERYONE who works there. And during the heat wave, they were so worried for us knowing that our RV got as high as 102 and we had to stay inside to sew. They were our biggest cheerleaders this summer and we can't thank them enough for their wonderful service and then some...

RV Made Egg Rolls to Die For

od

I am not a big egg roll person - kind of feel they are mushy - too greasy - and bad tasting.. That was up until we had Sue's... They where good. Jorge ate 8 and I had 5 and yes we where pigs. But the great thing about the two of us is that we are very active and so those extra calories are always welcomed. Fun food and something that we wouldn't eat often but sure is one heck of a treat. So thank you for the homemade cooked meal and 2 thumbs up!!

Farmer's Market

When you choose the RV way of living - food becomes one of the most important thing to live for, lol. Not in the ways your thinking. But for the pure joyment of it. When we BOONDOCK (dry camping) we don't use our fridge because our Ginny is older then old - and my husband believes we should kept it till it dies so that we can squeeze every penny of life out it... So fresh food is a major must!

If we are 5 miles or less from town - we ride our bikes to town every couple of days to shop for fresh food. And before you roll your eyes, it's good exercise too and just plain fun for US...

Farmers' markets are one of the oldest forms of direct marketing by small farmers. From the traditional "Mercado's" in the Peruvian Andes to the unique street markets in Asia, growers all over the world gather weekly to sell their produce directly to the public. In the last decade they have become a favorite marketing method for many farmers throughout the United States, and a weekly ritual for many shoppers.

I also believe in supporting local farmers. Shopping at Farmer's Market cut out the middle man - and helps keep the money in the farmers pockets. Less handling which makes for cleaner food. Hey in some cases you will save some money in the process too.

Farmer Market's is a great way to give back to the community as well. Making friends, and loving the experience of small hometown feelings... And here is a great tip for RV full-timers, most Farmers Market are mainstream on the web and you can do your research of the area before parking your rig - like for us we found a web site for our area:
http://www.gorgegrown.com/resource/rufus-farmers-market.cfm
and according to the web they are not open for business until Fridays: Aug. 28, Sept. 11, 25, Oct. 9 from 3 to 7 p.m. All this means is that we won't be here for any of it wonderful items... And so using the same knowledge I checked the area during this time frame and came up with this

Rathdrum Farmers Market

City Park off Hwy 53
Saturdays 8:00am - 1:00pm
July 11 - October 17
Patti McElroy (208) 687-3293
P.O. Box 1378, Rathdrum, ID 83858
www.rathdrumfarmersmarket.org 

And so the smiles are back on... As we get closer to the opening season I will blog again - they have a crafting vendor there and I may apply so that we can sell some of our goods and build our winter income up... We'll have to see what their rules are. Application seems simply enough and the price of their spot is not bad at all 10 X 10 for $10.00...

So this summer get out and support your local Farmer's Market - it's a great way to support the local community, make new friends, and a heck of way to learn the secret tips of the area... Maybe your looking for that great fishing spot... What ever it is - enjoy!!
