March 18 and March 25 : Kimchi with Fabulous Ferments

Kimchee is a spicy Korean sauerkraut, served at all Korean meals, that is a delicious condiment to rich, full flavored foods. Fabulous Ferments, created Jennifer De Marco and Jordan Aversman, make a number of traditional fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickled vegetables, kimchee, beet kvass, and kombucha. They use local, pesticide free produce and make the products in small batches, by hand, preserving the unique health properties of raw, lacto-fermanted foods. Kimchee is spicy, cooling, and effervescent. It is delicious alone, but also in the preparation of a wide variety of foods like egg and meat dishes, stews, dumplings,and vegetarian dishes.

Additional future themes will be out soon so stay tuned…..

Price per person: $55 Dinner starts at 7pm.
Reservations required. Please remember changes or cancellations not received 24 hours prior to the dinner will be charged a 25.00 fee.

Now is your chance to demand that USDA protect food from contamination by genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa!  USDA just released its draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on GE alfalfa and comments are due February 16, 2010.

TELL USDA NOT TO APPROVE MONSANTO’S GE ALFALFA .  In the EIS, USDA claims that there is no evidence that consumers care about GE contamination of organic alfalfa. But while consumers might not eat alfalfa directly, alfalfa is a major feed for cows and other livestock.  There have been no studies showing that GE alfalfa is safe for feeding to livestock or what effect feeding GE-alfalfa has on the meat or milk from such animals.  Because of the risk of contamination of non-GE crops, approval of GE alfalfa could ultimately make it impossible for farmers to find GE-free sources for their livestock.

EDUCATE YOURSELF…..ITS YOUR WORLD……FOR MORE INFORMATION
Check out the Center for Food Safety’s fact sheet on GE alfalfa here: http://www.nationalorganiccoalition.org/CFSGEalfalfatalkingptfinal.pdf
