Home Cooking, always better than a restaurant

My lunch.

Wild caught salmon topped with fresh rosemary and fresh basil; and fresh vegetables all from a farmer’s market in Lambertville.

I put some apple cider vinegar and olive oil on the salad.

It was all so tasty.

And that wasn’t it.

Dessert was equally as healthy. Cottage cheese topped with more fresh vegetables! Yes, vegetables. For a tasty savory treat. With each bite there was cucumbers, red peppers, and hemp seeds. The cottage cheese was seasoned with pepper and sea salt.

Want to try my home cooking?

If you’re in New Jersey, come one, come all…

I’ll be giving my presentation “Healthy Pasta Alternatives” at Vauxhall Public Library in Vauxhall, New Jersey.

It’s free, but you must call the library to register, as we’re capping it out at 30.

There will not only be SAMPLING, but there will also be a free raffle/giveaway.

One lucky attendee will win a variety pack — a basket full of healthy pasta.

This is what makes all my lectures and presentations so much fun! Audience participation, and at least one lucky person goes home with something every time.

Though let me warn you, finding out what an actual portion size of pasta may disappoint you! But if you do portion control with healthy pasta, such as brown rice, and fill the rest of your dish with fresh vegetables, trust me you will not feel deprived!

To find out where I’ll be speaking next, visit my business page, Pear Tree Enterprises at: https://peartreeenterprises.wordpress.com/

📰 NC ENVIRONMENT NEWS

Drought drives produce shortages at farmers markets (Can't-aloupes)

🌾 North Carolina’s worsening drought is hitting farmers in "Severe" category areas hard. Growers report that some crops may be skipped entirely if rain doesn’t arrive soon, with cantaloupes among the most at‑risk.

💸 Lower supply means higher prices at farmers markets.

🌱 Bigger picture: This is how climate stress ripples through NC's everyday food systems, shaping what communities can grow, sell, and afford.

Uncompensated #endorsement!

Very satisfying and nutritious, non-egg #breakfast for me. It's not vegan but you could substitute your own nutmilk or something if you want. For me, this is it. Although I do still enjoy a nice veggie omelet, other times.

US: Pathogens were detected in meat & poultry sold at farmers' markets—vendors often lack adequate handwashing & cross-contamination prevention practices, as well as knowledge & awareness of proper food safety measures: doi.org/10.1016/j.jf... #Meat #Poultry #FarmersMarkets #LocalFood #FoodSafety

Redirecting

Local meal cooked on a coal stove was had at the farmers' market in Sunder Nursery. Millet+beetroot roti, a colourful salad of diced, seasonal veggies, tomato and red chilli chutney, hand-churned buttermilk, white butter, and green chilli peppers. Food cooked without cooking gas or electricity. The buttermilk was churned in a traditional hand-operated churner called a bilona with a rope that acts as a windlass. https://www.shreejahealthcare.com/vedic-handmade-bilona-machine/

#Delhi #travel #farmersmarkets

Black potatoes on sale at the Sunday farmers' market in Sunder Nursery in Delhi. I was told they are low in starch content and glycemic index.

I love visiting farmers' markets. The local economy, local produce, local food in local parks.

"One of MOUA’s first priorities was building a complete picture of urban agriculture across the city, and making that information available to the public. The office created the Urban Agriculture Data Explorer Hub, an interactive platform that maps food production across all five boroughs. The tool has cataloged 2,580 sites so far: #SchoolGardens, #UrbanFarms, #CommunityGardens, #IndoorAgriculture businesses, and underutilized city-owned land. Users can sort by borough, zip code, land management type, and food production status, then click on individual locations for more detail. The platform will eventually also track wellness programs, commercial activity, and climate mitigation efforts. Its crowdsourced design allows community members to contribute information that official records miss, creating a more complete picture over time."

Three Years In, New York’s #UrbanAgriculture Office Has Delivered

by Haley Schusterman, January 20, 2026

"Three years in, the office is delivering on its full mandate. It built its own relationships with community leaders and advocates, launched education programs connecting students to working #farms, opened pathways for #SmallFarmers to sell to city institutions, mapped the city’s urban agriculture landscape, and pushed for procurement reform that could redirect how the city spends its food dollars. The office is working to change how eight million #NewYorkers grow, buy, and think about food, using urban agriculture as a lever for #ClimateAction, #EnvironmentalJustice, #FoodAccess, workforce development, and economic #resilience."

I took a walk through a local winter market here in Northern Europe and filmed what people actually eat in winter — fermented vegetables, smoked meats, dark breads, simple food that lasts through the cold months.
This is a bit outside my usual art and travel videos, but food is culture, and this is part of how we live.

As the fall 2025 university and college semester wraps up, what inspires you about teaching or learning food studies? Perhaps a Canadian Food Studies article on pedagogy? We suggest you start with Phoebe Stephens’ and Lucy Hinton’s “The state of post-secondary food studies pedagogy in Canada” from vol. 8, no. 4 (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i4.468).

Then check out the rest of this themed issue on Food pedagogies in Canada, guest edited by Michael Classens and Jennifer Sumner. Articles cover food literacy, integrated studies, sitopias, land-based learning, syllabi, bachelor’s degrees, farmers’ markets, food waste, campus cafeterias, performance, and food justice!

#Georgia [USA] - ‘Without Walls’ Farmers Market makes debut in #GardenCityGA

By Brontë Sorotsky
Published: Jul. 26, 2025

GARDEN CITY, Ga. (WTOC) - "A new initiative to help #LowerIncome families buy #HealthyFood and make smart choices kicked off Saturday in Garden City.

" '#FeedTheHungry' is meeting people where they’re at to make the community as a whole healthier.

"From #okra to #nectarines, a new farmer’s market in Garden City has no shortage of healthy options. The idea for this farmer’s market came from a lack of resources when it comes to fresh foods.

" 'Trying to address #FoodDeserts in this community. And what does a #FoodDesert mean? That means limited access to fresh food,' said Charice Stroud, a volunteer with Feed the Hungry.

"Stroud is working alongside state representative Carl Gilliard to increase that access with the start of the first '#WithoutWalls' #FarmersMarket.

"On Saturday, this new farmer market kicked off with #pickling demonstrations, fresh juice making, farmer’s selling #LocalProduce, and more.

" 'It builds a healthier community, right? That’s our overall goal,' Stroud explained.

"Feed the hungry is partnering with #AgraUnity, a coalition of #BlackFarmers that focuses on supplying the food deserts In #WestChathamCounty.

"Those local farmers will be selling their products, allowing people in the community to access farm to table food at a more affordable price.

" 'We want to empower people. And a part of that is your health, what you’re consuming each and every day. So, you can come in and get some good ideas for what to bring back to your home and your family,' Stroud said.

"The 'Without Walls' Farmers Market will be held every 4th Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 4704 Augusta Road in Garden City."
