I've tried cutting dairy at various points in the past (the whole 'cows milk is for baby calfs' thing) but I just like whole fat milk too much. I actually wish there were a place around here where I could get fresh, raw "organic" milk instead of hormone-laden pasteurized stuff.

Have you checked into buying some from a local farm (or through a CSA)?

Raw Milk - LocalHarvest

There is a farm service that delivers food and dairy to Boston, and my boss ordered raw milk from them a few times.

So what have you guys thought of the Yoga X portion? Its so long, although I will admit it's a nice change of pace from the other workouts.

I enjoy the Yoga X, honestly. I probably sweat more to that than any other workout. The last time I did Yoga X (this past Saturday) I was able to get into and out of 'wheel' without falling on my head. Haven't been able to do that since high school (15-20 years ago). Still can't do 'crane' though.

I sat on my couch digesting my meal and thought of what I'd have for dessert.

I must admit it is not my favorite workout. It certain works on a lot of my weaknesses - flexibility & balance which is why I try hard to grind through it as best I can.

Went to a farmers market this past weekend but did not see/meet any dairy producers there. I did stumble across two farms that are jointly selling CSA shares this year that promise to supply ample fruits and veggies to feed at least a family of four for $30/wk, with yeilds until mid-November. I've been mulling this one over since Saturday morning ... Somehow, I just can't escape the feeling that by early October I'm going to be shelling out $30/wk just for more sweet corn and gourds.

Actually, there's usually quite a variety in CSA shares. Here is an example of one that I was researching last week (this is a sample 1/2 share):

1 lb rainbow carrots
1 lb bell peppers
2 heads lettuce
2 lbs slicing cucumbers or summer squash
1.5 lbs red gold potatoes
1/2 dozen ears sweet corn
2 eggplants
1 bunch parsley
1 lb tomatillos
2 heads broccoli or 1/2 lb salad mix
1 lb green beans.

We decided to go with another farm (1/2 share for $21/wk), but I would think the Ohio farms would have just as much variety. CSAs rock!

Great idea but the problem with getting all of the fresh produce is that it has a very short shelf-life except for the potatos and some of the squash.

So either your family will be eating nothing but vegetables for 2 straight weeks or you will have a lot of the veggies go bad.

That's not a lot of veggies. It's amazing how quickly you can go through vegetables when you make the decision to stop eating processed crap like cookies and crackers and candy.

The example list Sushi just posted would last my family about three or four days, max. We might wind up with some leftover broccoli and eggplant out of that, but everything else would get eaten, most of it by me just in my lunches.

First thing my wife and I would do with that list is blow through the bell peppers -- stuffed with ground beef, rice and spaghetti sauce is her preference; ground pork, cauliflower, and tomato paste is mine. We both love stuffed bells. I've got 12 green bell seedlings growing right now, ready to plant in a couple more weeks after we're clear of frosts.
