Now, these are some really big smiles, eh?
Longtime friend, Burky, came out this morning to purchase a bushel of apples for his sister who owns a Dairy-type of restaurant in New Washington.
Why the big smiles? When I took their picture, Jim informed Burky that he was about to be made famous on OJC.
But I am smiling for another reason. Almost all restaurants these days serve 'factory' food. That is why I search out small, independently owned diners and small restaurants that have reputations for cooking and baking their own foods. To know that Burky's sister is among these people gives me a good feeling about our food system. As long as people support businesses that use locally produced foods, our natural food chain will stay intact. I feel that an area, and a nation, that produces its own food has the most important type of security there is. After all, we can't wage other battles if we are starving, can we? (OK, stepping off my soapbox now!)
