WELL FED LETTERS WOW! Can you believe it’s May already!?! Time does fly by. It was just 5 years ago that I found my way to the Lowcountry via New York City. Yep, I’m one of those people who have shown up here in the last five years. There is a interesting gravitational pull in this area that is guiding people here. I have met many people in the past few years who have moved here with a heart intention to change the way they live their lives. Is it a coincidence, or is it part of evolution of our world? I feel very strongly that we are in a tipping point of the future of our culture and perhaps even the human race. Which way are you tipping? Currently in Savannah area, I am grateful there are many people taking inspired action in their professional and personal lives to help us tip towards a prosperous, thriving, healthy inclusive heart-centered community. I believe it is important to focus on the positive elements of what is happening within our community. There are challenges however, there are also creative solutions to all challenges. However, working together, we can have the power to shift any challenges into our strengths. As we continue to work together to build a shared vision, it is important to recognize the many circles of communities in Savannah. These circles are merging. It is very beautiful to be witnessing what our communities can create. The Earth Day Festival last month was an excellent example of a shared vision: healthy planet = healthy humans. Thank you again to all of the volunteers who helped us as well as the exhibitors and our community. We spent the afternoon sharing information and working together to find solutions for a healthier planet. There is a lot of work to do however; “If everyone does a little, no one has to do it all.” If you are reading this while visiting Savannah, “Welcome!” May this vacation inspire you to be a part of the heart-centered community in your city. Local communities are coming together everywhere to inspire each other to create sustainable solutions for the highest good for future generations. How are you part of the solution? Share your ideas, events and projects on our Well FED Facebook page so others can help. With much gratitude, Joanne

THE BATTLE
of the
BAGS:
HOW PLASTIC BAGS SPLIT GEORGIA IN HALF AND COULD CHANGE THE FACE OF TYBEE by Coco Papy
n April 23rd, the day after Earth Day, Tybee Island City Council brought to vote an ordinance that would prohibit the use of single-use plastic bags at local businesses and retailers, stating that plastic bags and non-recyclable bags will no longer be allowed at local checkout counters. Businesses will instead need to offer customers the option of paper or the more hopeful and sustainable solution, a reusable bag. The ordinance passed its first reading at the Tybee council hearing with a vote of 4-2, (with council members Barry Brown and Wanda Doyle being the only two to vote against the ordinance). The ordinance goes up for second voting at the May 14th council meeting. The second successful vote for this ordinance could make Tybee Island the first city in Georgia to ban plastic bags.
“Over the summer of 2014, I started a lighthearted, friendly campaign to encourage business to get rid of plastic bags and to use eco-friendly bags and people seemed to be in agreement.” Workman says. There was resistance from a select few, of course - that’s the nature of change. “But for the most part, people were on board. They were excited.”
While the bag ban ordinance does contain legal flexibility (allowable exemptions for businesses that cannot find acceptable alternatives), Doyle continues to press for alternatives, citing support from local businesses and locals. Based on the those in attendance at the council meeting on April 23rd, a greater number of locals seem hopeful that the legislation will pass, especially coming off the tail of the past few months, which one might subtly refer to as a merde spectacle. We profiled Ashley Workman, local activist and advocate for the Bag Ban in our February issue of Well FED, back when the ordinance was just gaining steam and had garnered the attentions of some well to-do out of towners.
As soon as the outside lobbying firm showed up, the battle for Tybee started. “I started working with the Bag It documentary and did a couple showings, while giving out bags and begging council to move forward. We wanted the positive to shine through and we were doing so with overwhelming support. All the sudden, a lobbyist named Doug Stoner (former state senator from Georgia and candidate to be Chairman of the Georgia Democratic Party) started showing up at Tybee stakeholder workshops and city council meetings. Then on March 30th, Senator Tyler Harper R-Ocilla, rushed Senate Bill 139 (SB 139, which restricted Georgia cities and counties from regulating “auxiliary containers”, i.e.single-use plastic bags) through unanimous passing overnight. We had three days till it went to the floor of the Agriculture Committee.”
Now I was sitting down with Workman at The Sentient Bean just a few weeks before the “Ban the Bag” ordinance was scheduled to go up for the first vote. How did all this happen?
The surprise bill shocked everyone even more when SB 139 was passed by all but one member of the committee. “ Everyone was just in shock.” Workman says.
I’ll let you google-translate that...

COMMUNITY | WEL L FEDS AVAN N AH .CO M
What happened next, as Workman told me, was all too familiar. Got a problem? Bring in the big money. “In October of 2014, I presented the “Ban the Bag” ordinance before council, asking to get rid of single use- plastic bag on Tybee. That’s when it changed- when American Progressive Bag Alliance threatened to sue the municipality for intercommerce infringement. From then on, everyone was scared.”
Supporters of the then victorious SB 139 argued that because Georgia has 159 counties and 536 cities, each that elected to enact a single-use plastic bag ban would unleash “regulatory mayhem” upon the citizens of Georgia. Yes. Regulatory mayhem. “We had to take it back.” Workman continued. “It became a frenzy of all environmental groups, joining forces with a lot of organizations. Stephanie Stuckey Benfield from Green Law Georgia got involved too, which was a huge benefit.” With their Green Dream Team, SB 139 looked like it wouldn’t last -or at least that was the perception. “All of the sudden, Senator Tyler Harper presents this bill written by Tom Mccullough, the Chair of the Agricultural Committee in the House. The bill was intended to block any type of local municipalities from banning any single-use packaging under the concept of infringement, saying that it’s controlling what citizens carry their food and drinks in when they step out of a building. But there was no investigation - it just appeared overnight.” Workman and cohorts headed to Atlanta for the next House Committee hearing, where Senator Harper presented the bill - and then left, Workman says. “But there were about 30 speakers present stressing the importance of the bill from cost, to environmental, to local rights infringement. No sooner did Doug Stoner hand amendments sent from Representative Harper to the speaker, who handed them to the House Representative. They amended it and then unanimously voted on it.” After witnessing this, Workman says she wasn’t sure what was going to happen next at the House level. However, when it did hit the Georgia House, it was voted down 67 to 85- a shock not only to Workman, but to the supporters of SB139. The decision was based on “home rule”, an established policy in Georgia that states that local governments can decide how to best govern themselves. In a way, the idea of infringing on local commerce as a reason to Bag the Bag Ban, became the reason it passed at all. After all of this-the resistance, the lobbyist, the ups and downs of bureaucracy, the bag ban on Tybee passed it’s first vote. It’s a historic and influential piece of legislature that Workman has very much a part of fostering. “In a way I’ve exposed myself a lot. I’ve always been passionate but in order to have this go far, I had to commit to this - I had to go the extra mile. To me, I could leave no stone unturned, no matter if no one seems like they are listening or it seems silly. You have to keep doing what you believe in.”
And believing in it is what most of Tybee has done- the strongest voices on the issue have been predominantly local, including Tybee Island City Council member, Paul Wolff, who has plenty to say
on the matter. “I think that as a coastal community we have an enormous responsibility to protect our marine life and economy as much as possible…. plastic bags have been a huge problem for years. And here we are, just trying to convince people that what we are saying is true – there is no manufacturer that makes plastic bags and it’s not an economic job creator. That we can’t really recycle plastic bags, which has been the biggest argument against the ban. There is no place locally that does it. Plastic bags are just not a recyclable commodity – they are the most dangerous item you can put in the environment. It’s not cost effective, nor environmentally friendly. The best thing you can do is keep them off the island. This is a win-win for both businesses and community members. But we are struggling with that due to the spread of misinformation, accidental or purposeful.” Now that the Tybee Island City Council has voted once to ban plastic bags, Workman is encouraging everyone to be a part of the last stretch of a what has been an example of how messy politics can get. “Tybee is Savannah’s beach” Workman says. “But that’s why it is the perfect model. Start on the outside work your way in.”
That’s history - even if we all don’t see it that way yet.

ON THE SQUARES Savannah Style Written by Jessica Curtis, Photo by Katie Joyner
If you’re reading this, chances are you love a good meal—preferably a Southern one. And who doesn’t enjoy giving back to their community? Enter the Junior League of Savannah, here to help us do both, with the debut of their new cookbook, On the Squares – Savannah Style. From Pink Palmetto Cake to Eggs Oglethorpe, the book includes more than 120 member-contributed and triple-tested recipes of modern Southern cuisine, including a favorite from Savannah’s own Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room. The best part? Proceeds from book sales will all go toward the JLS’s many charitable programs, benefiting our schoolchildren and the greater Savannah community. The Junior League was founded in 1901 in New York City by Mary Harriman Rumsey. According to its mission statement, the Junior League is “an organization of women committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving communities through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable.” This idea caught on and was emulated until 1921, when there were enough leagues throughout the country to form a national association.
The Junior League of Savannah began in 1926, and today boasts almost 900 members across greater Savannah—from the Low Country/Hilton Head to Brunswick and the Golden Isles. On the Squares – Savannah Style is their second largest fundraiser of the year, second only to their annual thrift sale. Their events and publications fund a vast array of community charities and projects. One such project is Backpack Buddies, designed to provide low-income children and their siblings with nutritious, one-step meals they may otherwise not have on weekends away from school. The Backpack Buddies program has grown tremendously according to need, with JLS volunteers now purchasing and packing 72 nutritional bags from Second Harvest Food Bank for weekly distribution at Garden City Elementary. The purchase of just one cookbook provides the funding needed for five weekend backpacks, each containing food for seven weekend meals, for a total of 35 meals. 14

Another current project is the Ronald McDonald House Adopt-A-Meal program, where members cook meals at the house and purchase supplies for the family room. Recent donations made through their Community Assistance Funds went to the Inner City Night Shelter, which serves 24 homeless women by providing bathing, laundry, services, and meals; the Midtown Miracle Community Garden, which produces herbs and spices for Second Harvest Food Bank’s chef; an afterschool tutoring program run by the Salvation Army; and Meals on Wheels.
On the Squares – Savannah Style joins JLS’s first two cookbooks, Savannah Style (1980), and Downtown Savannah Style (1997). This edition will delight not only food enthusiasts, but Savannah history buffs, as it showcases Savannah’s rich heritage with professional photographs and historical descriptions of the city’s original 24 squares. All three cookbooks can be purchased at retail locations throughout greater Savannah, through regional vendors, and at jrleaguesav.org.
COCONUT CUP CUSTARDS The caramel layer on the bottom of these custards will harden as it cools, then melt again as the custard cooks.
INGREDIENTS: 1 1/4 cups sugar, divided 1 (15-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk 1/4 cup (about) whole milk or half-and-half 3 eggs 1/8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, dark rum or coconut rum 1/3 to 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, toasted, for garnish
DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 2. Cook 1/2 cup of the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it melts and browns. Watch carefully—once it begins to brown, it can burn quickly. Divide the caramel among six (1/2-cup) ramekins or custard cups. 3. Combine the coconut milk and enough whole milk in a measuring cup to equal 2 cups. Combine with the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, the eggs, salt and vanilla. Pour through a strainer 3 times. Pour over the caramel in the ramekins. 4. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and pour hot water around the cups. Bake in the water bath for 40 minutes, or until firm. Cool on a rack. Chill, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. The custard can be made up to 2 days before serving but tastes best served the day it is made. 5. To unmold the custards, run a knife around the inside edges of the ramekins, then invert onto small plates. Garnish with toasted coconut. Makes 6 servings.

Try It Tuesday
Written by Rhonda L. Barlow, MPH, RD, LD, CLC Photos by Elizabeth Salley, MS, RD, LD. “May I have another one?” “Can I have some more?” These were the questions and requests from students during lunch at East Broad Elementary as they enjoyed the yellow-orange mashed stuff in little cup. The tasty sample was the student’s introduction to Butternut Smash. Stickers proclaiming the taste tester’s bravery in trying the creamy yellow-orange food were given to each student that participated in the activity. Students were able to eat more of the delicious butternut squash the next day because it appeared on the school lunch menu throughout the Chatham School District. The Try it Tuesday activity was one of several schoolwide activities in celebration of Every Kid Healthy™ Week. Every Kid Healthy™ Week is a week long observance created by Action for Healthy Kids® to celebrate school health and wellness. It is celebrated every year during the last week of April. Other lunch time activities during the week included a hulahoop and jump rope competition. A School Grants for Healthy Kids grant award was the funding source for these celebrations of nutrition and physical activities. This grant was sponsored by Action for Healthy Kids® and their industry partners. If you would like more information on how to secure resources that will help promote a healthy school environment, visit the Action for Healthy Kids® website at http://www.actionforhealthykids.org.

Story and Photos by Cheryl Baisden Solis There is a phrase in the Urdu language that captures perfectly the unique quality of flavor from the same dish made by different hands, whether it be your mother making bread, a wife following her mother-in-law’s recipe, or a son recreating that same homey loaf: “hath kibathe” (‘from the hand’). Each person puts something of themselves into the recipe, changing the ingredients a little to suit their tastes, perhaps baking the bread in an old and well-loved pan you’d only find in their particular kitchen, even the oil from the palm of their hand as they knead the dough, makes a recipe completely theirs. That is the special quality with which Chef Mir Ali, owner of the new ‘Lili’s on Wilmington Island, invests in each dish. ‘Lili’s’, named for Chef Ali’s little daughter living in France, is fresh from the bread basket, so to speak, just having opened in November, yet already folks from far beyond the island have made it a favorite nook for lazy Sunday brunches or incredible seafood, tender seared lamb chops and dinners with an authentic flavor gathered from years spent in France and inspired by his native Pakistan.
The venue is small, tucked away in the space behind an orthodontist office facing Johnny Mercer Drive, just past the Goodwill, and a tad difficult to find—but oh, believe me, you wanna make the effort! Now that the weather has gently tapered off from freezing rains and winter winds, you may want to dine at one of the sidewalk tables outside, shaded and friendly-looking, with plenty of ‘Lili’s’ fans to talk to. The interior is serenely shadowed and elegantly simple, with natural wood tables and chairs, the cream-colored walls hung with paintings from local artists. All of the art is for sale, just ask. The design of the floor and bar will also catch your eye. Chef Ali and his friends used acid-stained concrete to create a look that may remind you of river beds and high plateaus out West, with swirls of soft orange, browns, pale sage and cream. The full bar is small but comfortable and well-stocked, and desserts come from another island entrepreneur, ‘Flirt with Dessert’ and are guaranteed to please.
Mir Ali trained as a Pharmacist, but found a deeper delight in following his instincts in the kitchen. He grew up in Washington DC, where he’d lived since age 6, and loved the international variety of foods offered in that city. He later traveled to France to expand his skills, and found the culinary inspiration gave him just the push he needed. He became adept in the handling of fresh herbs, and the perfect blending of his native cuisine with Western tastes. Later on, in North Carolina, he honed his talents preparing French cuisine at the Chapel Hill landmark ‘La Residence’, and later opened his own restaurant in Miami. When he moved to Savannah, Mir was contacted by friend Pino to serve up his unique dishes at ‘Il Pasticcio’ on Broughton, and George Spriggs offered even an even more in-depth Southern experience at his ‘North Beach Grill’, where he gained an impressive knowledge of local seafood dishes. His superb rendition of an old Savannah favorite, Shrimp n’ Grits, produces profound delight in seafood lovers with its creamy Adluh grits, succulent shrimp and garlic-tomato herb sauce, accompanied by Savannah River Farms pork sausage— definitely my favorite Sunday Brunch!
These familiar “dishes blend Old World flavor beautifully with a
Southern touch
The menu he’s created is eclectic, yet reflects local tastes and has a good range of ethnically inspired dishes that combine well, such as the Tandooriseared Chicken with Waffles; the Seafood Stew is richly flavored with coconut milk and the Braised Pork Oso Bucco lies atop a mound of vegetable-orange couscous in a citrus glaze. These familiar dishes blend Old World flavor beautifully with a Southern touch. One luncheon with a friend, a certain mayoral candidate with a refined palate, is especially memorable. A couple of Old Savannah folks like us are hard to impress when it comes to seafood, but even we were surprised into exclamations of happiness over the appetizer of fried oysters. My friend took one bite, then quickly tucked in another: in amazement, he avowed, “I’m here to tell ya, these are the BEST oysters I’ve ever had in Savannah!” Delicately crisp, lightly breaded, still plump and juicy, they were indeed memorable.

The flavors are vibrant, the presentation “beautifully garnished and tempting, and all products are hormone-free and sustainable. ‘Lili’s’ offerings are largely locavore and admirably fresh, each season bringing you a different set of delights. Their website and Facebook page lists new items, accompanied by mouth-watering photos. Mir Ali likes to have something unique and wonderful to present his patrons and only ‘Lili’s’ boasts steak served ‘a la Plancha’, on a flat iron grill, or such flavorful kabobs marinated in Persian spices.The flavors are vibrant, the presentation beautifully garnished and tempting, and all products are hormone-free and sustainable.
When I asked Chef Ali how he came to open such a small, yet, delightful eatery, he tells me, “I’ve worked in such big restaurants for so long, and I wanted to give the Islands something with a different feel: small, intimate, with a friendly staff, an eclectic blend of dishes that are familiar yet uniquely ours. We make the food we love, served it up fresh and inviting, and that beautiful simplicity and keeps people coming back for more!”

COLLARD AND ARTICHOKE DIP WITH
Smoked Gouda
My name is Michael Pritchard and I am the chef and co-owner of Starland Cafe and Catering in Savannah GA. We will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in late 2015 and we are looking to expand quite a bit in 2016. We are known for using fresh local ingredients and especially with our catering we serve menu items representing southern favorites. Collard greens are an ingredient that is grown
locally a large part of the year. During the colder months the plant will go to seed providing growth for the next year. One of our favorite collard green appetizers is our dip made with locally smoked gouda cheese, white wine and marinated artichoke hearts. Served hot with bread and chips everyone loves this dish any time of the year.
INGREDIENTS: 1lb collard greens - julienne 1/4 cup olive oil 1 sweet yellow onion - diced 6 cloves garlic - minced 1 cup dry white wine 12oz cream cheese 10 oz sour cream 2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 3 cups smoked gouda cheese - divided 3 cups marinated artichoke hearts - sliced Salt and Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS: 1. Heat olive oil in Dutch oven at medium heat. 2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic and stir while cooking until garlic has started to brown. 3. Add collard greens and cover, allowing to wilt for about 10 minutes, stirring as necessary. 4. Pour in wine and cook 1 to 2 minutes, continue stirring collards. 5. Add cream cheese, sour cream, red pepper flakes, and 2 cups smoked gouda cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, 6 to 8 minutes or until cream cheese is melted and mixture is thoroughly heated. 6. Once mixture is combined and hot add chopped artichoke hearts and fold them into mixture. 7. Transfer to a lightly greased large baking dish and sprinkle evenly with remaining 1 cup smoked gouda cheese. 8. Broil 6 inches from heat 4 to 5 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Serve with toast points, pita bread, or tortilla chips. WELLF EDSAVA NNA H. C OM | FEED 27

FOREMOST ON THE WATERFRONT: THE WYLD DOCK BAR Cries of sadness echoed down the creeks and rivers of Savannah’s Intracoastal Waterway when Bonna Bella Yacht Club announced it was closing. A favorite water front dining spot for locals for years, Bonna Bella was one of the few places in Savannah that you could boat to dinner. One of those things that makes life on the water around Sandfly so special and unique. Owner / Chef Tony Seichrist is a former chef at Five and Ten in Athens under Hugh Acheson, The Farmhouse at Serenbe, and opened Holeman and Finch Public House in Atlanta. He is also a published author of Meat. Salt. Time. A tribute to Salumi Master Cristiano Creminelli. His plan for food at Wyld is simple, local, fresh seafood. “We’ll be bringing in fresh local seafood everyday.You won’t see anything on the menu that you can’t catch right here.” says Seichrist. Wyld will still offer the same casual, come as you are off the beach and boat atmosphere that people loved so much about the spot, but they have definitely stepped it up a few notches. Beautiful landscaping and a new bocce ball court replaced the ‘sandbox’ and corn hole area. There is new teak furniture from end to end. A wonderful shade sail replaced the tent over the side seating, and the inside space is also wonderfully renovated. The renovations reflect the laid back nature of the area with hammocks along the marsh and a fire pit at the top of the dock ramp with wonderful beach lounge chairs.
