We have eaten a lot of good food on this trip… all the
\nmental stimulation needs to be accompanied by the oral; it is through our tastebuds that we most closely acheive this \u201cheaven on earth\u201d we are seeking. In addition, we tend to work up ravenous appetites in the gardens and farms we visit and at which we volunteer.<\/p>\n

This in mind, we present to you our favorite meals thus far:
\n7 meals for 7 days (not necessarily in order =)<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Potluck
\ndesserts! In particular, Common Ground<\/a> in North Lima OH had some gooey creamy
\nchocolatey creamy peanut-crunchy amazingness that will go down in history!<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Lunch
\nat Fred and Elizabeth Bahnson\u2019s in Brevard NC. We ate in an old farm house, and on porch rocking chairs, chickens clucking next to us as we ate their eggs, little boys running in the sprinkler, and a breathtaking view of a tropical
\nrainforest (it gets as much rain as Seattle!). We made sandwiches on fresh bread with garden lettuce and tomatoes, fancy cheeses, avocado… we also split
\na watermelon open. It was a delicious start to our collective love affair with the entire Bahnson family.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Harvest
\nTable in Meadowview, Virginia. This is Barbara Kingsolver\u2019s husband\u2019s restaurant, where all the menu items featured local food. In an area where there was little local market,
\nthis restaurant has created a steady demand for local food. We ate gnocchi and cheese, lamb-sausage pizza, trout salads, quesadillas, veggie calzones, pasta primavera, and great desserts!<\/p>\n

\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Cooking
\nLessons with Woodsman Marc! At Warren Wilson College, we all crowded into the small fellowship hall kitchen for a cooking lesson. Marc Williams<\/a>, an ethnobotanist,
\nproceeded to enlighten us all on the many varieties of wild edibles he had collected in the forest and around campus that day. We made pesto with \u201clamb\u2019s quarters,\u201d
\n(an herb or a weed depending on your point of view), quinoa pilaf, salad with bee balm flowers and day lilies, and berry cobbler. We also partook of Marc\u2019s most excellent herbal tea, brewed with fresh herbs including sassafras and
\nmint.<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Rosetta\u2019s
\nKitchen in Asheville NC. Vegetarian and vegan cooking with amazing art on the walls, part of the Voices for Appalachia<\/a> project. Everyone ended up sharing their lunch items around the table, so we could all taste the amazing
\noptions, from coconut curry to vegan \u201cbuffalo wings.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

6)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>One night at Warren Wilson College we made our way down a treacherous winding path (even our gimp, on crutches) in the dark and eventually stumbled upon our
\ndestination: the dock in the pond! Amid swimming, singing, and stargazing, we sipped and savored some brews including \u201cRoadtrip\u201d and \u201cSkinnydip,\u201d and the local \u201cHighland.\u201d<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Again, not a food but a beverage: we piled out of our vans hot and tired at the Lile Family Farm in Maryville TN, and were swiftly met with pitchers of ice water, childsize cups, and a pair of enormously enthusiastic dogs.<\/p>\n

\u00a0MAY THERE BE MANY MORE!<\/p>\n
