Columbus Foodie

To say this hasn’t been a week for cooking is an understatement. The air conditioner went out again after being repaired on Monday, and we’re going away on a mini-vacation for my birthday this weekend, so the theme of the week for eating is “cold, cold, cold”. Well, with the exception of the batch of apple pie jam we were in the middle of canning when the AC decided to die again last night.

So for this edition of One Local Summer, I decided to just go with a local lunch. Quite simple, actually - so simple it doesn’t have a recipe. It’s just some egg salad and tomato on lightly toasted bread. Filling, cooling, and flavorful. The only thing missing was a couple of slices of local bacon; unfortunately, I didn’t have any on hand.

The bread is Vienna bread from the Anderson’s in Dublin, the eggs are from 2Silos, and the tomato is a Big Boy grown on my back patio. Only non-local ingredients were mayo, salt, and paprika. Can’t get much more local than that otherwise.

Hopefully, by next week I’ll be back to cooking. Although, next week’s “local” may be defined by the farmer’s market of my vacation destination (does that still count?), since I’ll be missing Saturday’s markets here in Ohio.
