What’s a food co-op?

b9f57d43f5co op 150x99 Whats a food co op?

I have a local food co-op that I don’t take advantage of because it’s not very close to where I live. I also have two amazing health food stores nearby and farmer’s market I can go to six times a week. I also used to buy things in bulk through a local buying club, but I no longer have the room to store large quantities of anything. I downsized to a small studio to live a digital nomad lifestyle. Nonetheless, I’m determined to re-visit my local coop and explore the possibilities. Here is an interesting article that made me think about food co-ops again. For many of us, it’s definitely worth a try.

2001 Gravner "Anfora" Ribolla Gialla, Friuli, Italy

When it comes to winemaking there’s New World, and there’s Old World. There’s new school, and of course, there’s old school. And then there are a select few people and wines who make the old school winemakers look like young tykes with newfangled toys. In a world where “traditional” or “natural” winemaking has now become a self imposed designation of the most extreme proponents of biodynamic and non-interventionalist winemaking, Josko Gravner puts them all to shame. These people proclaim how in touch they are with the “traditional” methods of winemaking, but they’re still using what Gravner would call modern technology: wooden barrels. The iconoclastic Gravner eschews wines in wood, in favor of the original stuff: wines aged in huge clay amphorae sealed with beeswax and buried in the ground. Gravner , a small winery near Oslavia in Northern Italy’s Fruili Venezia Giulia region. It …

common $en$e tactics for this economy

575e1c3746money 150x112 common $en$e tactics for this economy

Isn’t it annoying how the phrase “in this economy” now seems to infiltrate every other sentence? One thing I’ve observed over the past year of financial hysteria is that we Americans usually seem to view spending in terms of black and white. There has been no middle ground. In good times, people were spending $200 on blue jeans, eating out every night and borrowing against their house so they could buy an even bigger house that they then had to furnish, heat and maintain. Now, newspapers and TV shows run stories on saving money ad nauseum. Some of the tips so basic ["Don't eat out every night, buy generics, pay off your credit card bills"] that I wonder just which planet I’m living on. I’m not gloating, but I have always been a saver– a by-product of being raised by two parents who grew up during the throes of the Great Depression. If you…

Cook the Book: Roasted Olives

ad2a848d26celona 105x150 Cook the Book: Roasted Olives

From Recipes Each time that I find myself grocery shopping for a dinner party, I make sure to pick up a few snacks for cocktail hour. Being a creature of habit, my pre-dinner nibbles are inevitably Marcona almonds and olives. The almonds are easy, but the olives are another story; no jars or sub-par olives at my house. I am fortunate to have a few go-to olive purveyors that sell the tastiest and meatiest olives in town. But if you’re not as lucky, there is no need to fret: You, too, can have fantastically flavorful olives at home. Olives are preserved, but that doesn’t mean that you cannot doctor them up up. A simple roast with a few aromatic herbs and a bit of acid changes their flavor completely. This recipe for roasted olives from Sasa Mahr-Batu and Andy Pforzheimer’s The …
