Preparing for the DST Crisis: What To Eat

We are down to the wire, 2AM Sunday morning the clocks go back go forward. Will you be ready? Be sure to stock up tomorrow- this might be a good time to consider the hundred mile diet- even in winter there is lots to eat. Siel has done a number of posts on it for those in California, where it seems hardly a challenge at all. Before Sunday morning you should check out ::Local Harvest where you can locate farmers' markets, family farms, locally grown produce, grass-fed meats, and other sources of sustainably grown food. TreeHugger recipe queen Kelly has been on sabbatical, but the archives contain many gems that can be made from local vegetables such as Lentil and Sweet Potato Curry, and lots of others here. Collin provides a good summary of posts about growing your own food, and perhaps it is a good time to learn about the Slow Food Movement which concentrates on protecting the environment whilst promoting local goods and produce. After all, we will have time on our hands!

This is a tongue in cheek way of bringing up local and organic foods right? Is anyone seriously worried about this? Maybe start worrying for 2038 when then 32 bit unix systems will overflow their system clocks.

Umn..."clocks go back"??? Try again?

Spring FORWARD, Fall BACK.

Maybe change this mistake, like NOW, so nobody gets screwed up by it?

LA: I am having my own personal DST crisis. Thanks.

All times should always be recorded in UT and only formatted for display using time zone/DST rules. Then there won't be any crises.
