Time is evaporating. Paul and I wrote the initial proposal for the Loca Lifestyle Experiment over two weeks ago. I have just finished moving house and am still sitting in the midst of unpacked and beckoning boxes. And today there is a construction crew beginning work on our foundation. As boards are clanking heavily outside my window, I am reminded of Eric Maisel's (http://www.ericmaisel.com) advice on creating in the middle of things – “suit up, show up, drop everything”. So here I am. Finally.
In preparation of the food performance, I have signed up to do the research. Paul will be preparing the final feast with Jessica. Sadly I am out of town in May when the actual event occurs and will miss out on the culmination of our efforts. However, I am joyfully here for part of the journey.
Most of my projects in the past have been a solo act. One of the things I have been learning more about recently is the beauty of collaboration. Not only is it fun to work in community, but it also just makes so much more possible.
For now, this is The Plan:
1) Research the availability of seasonal ingredients in April and May
2) Discover recipes for finger foods that use seasonal local ingredients
3) Find sources for the ingredients within a 100 mile radius
4) Kitchen test the recipes
5) Develop a shopping list for the feast
