Honey grilled eggplant (eggplant from Russo's, MA; honey from Golden Meadow, MA)
Steamed pearl barley (Baer’s Best, MA)

Godspeed in this challenge. Given the amount of processed (albeit "healthy") junk I eat every day I don't know if I could ever handle such an undertaking!

It's hard, isn't it?
But that's a lot of food. My meals are much simpler.
You are DOING it!!!

CC: I think the key to this whole thing is finding local vinegar. I had NO IDEA how much I need vinegar in my life.

Jim: It's an adjustment, that's for sure. I want chips.
