But for now, we move on:

I think the best term to describe these folks: “knife-wielding suspects,” don’t you? Check out My photographer colleague Jim Witmer’s photos of the Miami Valley Restaurant Association/House of Bread Turkey Carving Contest yesterday (12-16-08), which drew nine sharpened chefs and other restaurant representatives to the House of Bread.

Can anybody tell us who won?

Yes, you can still eat local in December, even in Ohio

This post from our Farm Life and Local Harvest blog entitled “What’s local in December in the Miami Valley?’ is a real eye-opener.

Who knew we could still “eat local” in southwest Ohio in December?

Organic meats, eggs, cheeses, honey, leeks, winter squashes, onions, carrots, parsnips, and much more, all grown and produced locally and available here on the cusp of winter.

After all, it’s not all about sweet corn, tomatoes and melons — we’ve got to eat the other 10 months of the year, too. And it looks like several local farmers and food producers are making sure we don’t have to turn to far-away factory farms (or the southern hemisphere) to fill our bellies this winter.
