Tassievore eat local feast – challenge wrapup
Last weekend I held my Tassievore Eat Local Challenge feast for my family. I invited my mum, Lil Sis and Mr Tall to join us. It’s the second time I’ve done one of these feasts, and I really enjoyed doing it. As a rule I don’t like to cook,...
Tassievore eat local challenge – feast day!

I’ve been busy walking this week, so I haven’t given the Tassievore Eat Local Challenge my full attention. I wrote a post about getting started last week, and have been doing what I can for Week 1’s challenge, which has been to “seek out Tasmanian food and drinks ....
