Its tough but it gets easier. I had a hard time giving up Pelligrino at first. It's farmer's market season so local produce gets better & better! We're splitting a quarter of a cow with four households which still works out to some 40 lbs of beef each. We get it in July. My parents will have to house our share for us. Its such delicious beef and we feel like we know the people who are raising it as we buy from them at the Ballard Farmers market all the time. I swear it makes my dinner taste better. :)
