Wake Of The Flood

This last winter, western Washington was hit by heavy rains and runoff that caused major flooding. One of the worst places to have been hit was the valley surrounding the Chehalis river. It was such a natural disaster that Governor Christine Gregoire called on FEMA to provide federal aid to the flood zones. The news showed us amazing images of flood damage across I-5, but being miles and miles away from it all, it was difficult to embrace how heavily it affected those who live in and around the valley.

CSA Baby!

About a year ago, we decided that we wanted to eat more locally grown food. We've always been the kind of people who eat whole, fresh foods. We buy bulk and stay as far away from packaged foods as possible (aside from canned beans and such). Melanie loves to cook and I love to help her, it is our way of decompressing after a day at work. At lunch time, coworkers are always more interested in my leftovers than they are in their own lunches.
