I normally don't like to record myself. But I'm with you when we feel powerless in the onslaught of negative news from the around the world that we have absolutely no control over.

Those issues are important. HOWEVER, I'm here to remind you that you - the individual - still possess an amazing amount of power in your neighborhood, town and state.

Our nonnas have known for generations...but last week, olive oil sommelier and associate prof at Yale, Tassos Kyriakides walked us through the many benefits of olive oil.

It was a blast tasting oils from Italy, Greece and Spain and getting tips on what qualities to look for.

This winter I've been making a large pot of soup at least weekly, sometimes twice a week! So far we've had chili, creamy squash bisque, minestrone, ham and navy bean, tomato vegetable with barley and homemade creamy tomato.

Anyone out there have a new soup recipe I can try? I keep lots of staples on hand, including stock, tomato sauce, various vegetables and meats. I think I'm looking for something less heavy this week as I've got some great sourdough rolls to enjoy with it.

Give me your best shot!

Growing up on the island of Maui was a particularly eclectic experience. As a minority, my palate was introduced to the cultural foods of the Hawaiian, Filipino, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese people - a far cry different from the meat & potatoes German food I'd known.

Today, The Splendid Table will feature why Hawaii kight just be the greatest cultural experience for your taste buds!

“My Great Grandfather was my main inspiration for growing food. Growing up in Trinidad and Tobago I recall harvesting cocoa, sugar cane, mangoes, yams, bananas other fruits with him.

After moving to the United States, I stopped gardening for many years, but regained my passion for gardening as I needed an outlet for my daily almost 200 mile commute. I garden as a stress reliever; I find gardening extremely therapeutic”.

ICYMI: Last Friday, the CT Commission on Women, Children, Seniors, Equity & Opportunity released its 2025 Food Insecurity Report....

The bottom line - food insecurity for CT has risen, now meeting the national average (16%) and even though CT is looking to allocate more dollars towards many efforts, we can't possibly make up for the loss of Federal money.

Link in bio for the full (30 mins or so) report with some great info graphics as well as how CT will prioritize efforts to address this issue.

I still believe we can redirect and recover food - together with the work being done by our food pantries and hubs - to feed our citizens. Let's mobilize!
