“Big journeys begin with small steps.”

Publisher

Rene Teran Creative Director

First off, i would like to thank everyone who joined us for the film screening last month. We completely sold out the show and thankfully the folks at Carmike were gracious enough to move us to a bigger room! Whenever I get to experience that kind of response from our community, it reinforces my resolve to continue to move this publication forward. It was two years ago, this month, that my wife and I moved to Savannah and started Well FED. In those early days of the magazine, we were so uncertain of whether or not this new city would embrace the ideas and lifestyle that we were interested in covering and believed in. Honestly though, back then we were still trying to figure out exactly what this magazine was and “what exactly do we stand for?” This question was just as much a personal one as it was pertaining to our business. Well, it has been two years now and I must say that we are still in the process of figuring out the answer. But, the adage does apply here, as it truly is about the journey and not the destination. Over the years we have gotten to share our lives with so many other wonderful people in the community. We have learned from them, been inspired by them, shared meals with them. These are the people with whom we take this journey and it is more so that they are the ones who have shaped this publication, not us. This month, we continue to bring you stories and information that we hope will help you along in your own journey. Whether you are well on your way, or just thinking of taking a new route: any one of this month’s articles is a great place to start exploring. The key is to take the first step. We’ll take it with you.

Something is growing on 59th Street. By Jan Siplon

From the outside of the building, the scene is decidedly nondescript. Just an anonymous beige warehouse tucked in with some small homes in a nice, quiet neighborhood on the fringe of Ardsley Park. Hardly conspicuous. But as you take your first step inside the doors of the Savannah Food Co-op, located in commercial space at 1106 East 59th Street, you quickly get the sense that something very special is happening. It’s as if you’ve been transported back to a the country stores of a bygone era, to a time and place where access to affordable, healthy and local food could help grow a community. Inside, co-op members peruse shelves of fruits and vegetables, a mosaic of produce bursting with the most vibrant colors you can imagine. Customers, friends and neighbors stop in the aisles to discuss recipes or catch up on who’s doing what and the week that was. Regular visitors load up on organic staples and chat with friends. Volunteers lend a hand to separate and organize deliveries and help with check out. Boxes moving, doors opening, cars pulling up, it’s a place that bustles with energy from the day’s first delivery from the farm to the last green bean swept from the floor. “Supporting our local farmers and producers has been the main focus for our co-op,” says Julie Scott, the co-op’s New Products Coordinator and one of the group’s founding members in 2007. “This support promotes a viable local food system that not only nourishes our bodies but also preserves our environment, gives back to our local economy and fosters community.” More than half of the Savannah Food Co-op products come directly from small farms and producers in Georgia, with many from Savannah and the surrounding area. The main focus of the Co-op is to work directly with these producers, no middle men. Supporting the local farmers and helping them grow their businesses is what it’s all about. “The Savannah Food Co-op has been a journey of transformation”, adds Julie Scott, who was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina and moved to Savannah in 2006. “[Five years ago], a group of moms began to meet and discuss ways to gain access to affordable, local, organic foods. Here we are four years later with over 1,000 members and our mission is still – Local, Organic, Sustainable.”

Savannah Food Co-Op Coordinators: Julie Scott and Melissa Beauchamp. Not Pictured: Carmen Vazquez

Savannah Food Co-op is able to offer over 500 products in any given order cycle, including local mixed produce/ fruit boxes from Oaktree Farms in Jacksonville, GA. Some of their new items include: * Locally made all-natural pastas (Frali Gourmet) and prepared sauces and pasta dishes. * Georgia-produced pastured buffalo (Georgia Buffalo). * Gelato, pimiento cheese and all-natural tasty treats from Joel Caplan at Cafe Gelatohhh here in Savannah. * Wild Salmon from Doug’s Wild Alaskan Salmon * Wildflower and Tupelo honey from B&G Honey Farms * Farm Fresh eggs from Flat Land Farm * Artisanal all natural cheeses from Flat Creek Lodge * Natural and organic deli meats from Applegate Farms * Fresh Baked Bread from Castra Rota Ltd. Co

-Continued on the next page. Well FED 13

The Co-op continues to add local farmers and producers to its vendor lineup, including a recent expansion of the store’s selection of bulk items - grains, nuts, and more. “Our members appreciate the natural goodness of food that comes straight from the farm to their basket,” says Melissa Beauchamp, the group’s IT Coordinator and resident techie. “Savannah Food Coop celebrates that connection by going straight to the heart of fresh local food.” With growth in membership and vendors comes the need for convenience. This year, the Co-op added both Drive-Thru Service and pre-sorted pick-up options. Members can select drive-thru when ordering online and the Co-op volunteers will sort and load your items into your car in a pre-selected timeslot. Or, check the Pre-sorted option and the co-op will sort your items and have them ready for pick up when you arrive. “The convenience of shopping for all of my organic and all natural produce in one place and supporting our local farmers and businesses is the best reason I know of for being a part of Savannah Food Co-op,” says one satisfied Co-op customer. Additionally, they have introduced the School Box Program to bring healthier food options to local schools. As part of the program parents teachers have the option to have all local mixed boxes delivered directly to the school. In exchange the PTA receives a percentage of the sales that can be used to purchase organic produce to use at any school event. Like most food co-ops, Savannah Food Co-op relies on the volunteer work of its members. Volunteering is not a requirement, but it is strongly encouraged as it helps to keep the Co-op running smoothly. Ask any volunteer, and they will tell you what a great experience it is to be a part of the day-to-day operations, meeting the farmers and helping get the co-op products into your basket. In addition, volunteering members receive a 10% discont. If you are a member and haven’t shopped at the Coop in a while, now is the time to come back and check what’s new! Summer produce is ripe for the picking and it’s a perfect time for canning and freezing for the colder months. If you’re not a member, but have always wanted to have access to fresh locally sourced foods and a community of like-minded people, come join us today!

Going Vegan in Savannah by Angela Gunn

It took me thirty-three years to go vegan,

a lifestyle in which no animal products are consumed or used, but I finally did it.While the choice to be vegan was one I had always considered, I ended up resisting it for many years because of my love for all kinds of food. Life, however, had a different plan for me. It began when I was diagnosed with a dairy intolerance at the age of thirty-two after months of feeling unwell. On learning my diagnosis I cut dairy out of my life with great difficulty, but immediately began to experience many benefits. All those years thinking stress was causing my adult acne and a constant spare tire around my waist turned out to be dairy related. A couple of weeks after removing dairy from my diet, my problem skin all but disappeared and I also lost the extra weight, which made me feel a lot more energetic. As these changes occurred in my dietary life I began to notice changes taking place in my spiritual life too. My capacity for compassion, especially in regards to animals, began to grow and by the end of December 2011, I realized I no longer wished to consume animal products. Fortuitously, in January of this year, the Savannah Yoga Co-op offered a Weekend Warrior Workshop for students interested in learning more about Jivamukti yoga and the importance of veganism to the practice. On the second day of the workshop the director of the Co-op, Brent Martin, provided participants with a vegan lunch that allowed us to sample a few of the many food options available to vegans. Everything was so delicious and inspiring that I made my decision then and there to finally stop eating meat. As soon as I got home from the workshop that day, I jumped head first into life as a vegan. I started by donating the animal products in my kitchen to the meateaters in my family. Unfortunately, this didn’t eradicate all animal products from my life and I questioned the best way to proceed with my lifestyle change.

At one point I considered throwing out everything I owned that was animal based, but after much thought I decided this was too extreme and environmentally unfriendly. I also concluded that it was not financially viable for me to throw away all my animal based products and then purchase vegan ones. Instead, I have adopted a method of working towards becoming a more fully rounded vegan. For example, as I use up non-vegan products such as make up and shower gel, I then switch to vegan alternatives.

“It’s a process I’m still working on, but it’s one I’m committed to.” Of course, switching to a vegan lifestyle isn’t without other challenges. Before embarking upon this big life change, one major concern of mine was expense.While in some cases I have experienced an increase in my food bill at the grocery store, this is mostly due to the vegan convenience foods I buy when shopping at Publix or Kroger. When I look back over my food expenses in the past compared to what I spend now, I have, however, found that they balance out because I can choose to purchase organic produce or specialty food items at stores like Fresh Market now that I’m saving on meat and dairy. I am, however, planning to cut back on these expenses in the future by planting my own vegetable garden, a possible solution for anyone looking to save money on food. Another way I stay within my food budget is by eating at home. Yet, I’m often left wondering what other vegans do to keep themselves invested and interested in their plant-based diets. If there is anything that can prevent someone from embracing veganism it appears to be the isolation that is felt when eating and living a lifestyle very different from the majority of the community.

Pictured above: Well FED writer, Angela Gunn, shopping at one of Savannah’s best vegan options: Brighter Day. Thankfully, these days, you are never more than the click of a mouse away from more vegan resources than it’s possible to implement into daily life. One website I love called It’s Easy Being Vegan (www.itseasybeingvegan. com) recently published a blog post called Find Your Tribe, which suggested easy ways that vegans can find like-minded individuals in their community. One suggestion in this post was to use social media to seek out other vegans. Taking this advice to heart, I did a Google search for vegans in Savannah and ended up joining the public Facebook group, Savannah Veggies and Vegans. In this group, Savannah locals share information and current news about veganism, vegan tips, blog posts detailing vegan recipes, as well as vegetarian and vegan events like the first free online teleconference that took place this month called Veganpalooza. Since joining this group, I have been inspired to check out the vegan cookbooks recently highlighted at Barnes and Noble in Oglethorpe Mall. Using new recipes, I am now shopping more frequently at Brighter Day rather than exclusively at supermarkets.

I have also been encouraged to buy local, organic produce at the Forsyth Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings and am in the process of becoming a member of the Savannah Food Co-op (see the article on page 13). This not only helps to decrease my grocery bills, but I feel good knowing that I am supporting local, sustainable agriculture. For anyone interested in a vegan or vegetarian diet, I would encourage you to give it a try. While it’s true that veganism isn’t necessarily for everyone (the Dalai Lama had to give up his vegan diet due to a health condition), if you are interested in eating a plant-based, compassionate diet; remember that you are not alone. Don’t be scared to make the change. It is possible to live a healthy and fulfilling life as a vegan in Savannah, which not only benefits your health, but also reduces your impact on the environment. From my positive experiences, I know I’d recommend it. Also, be sure to check out next month’s issue, in which I’ll be exploring the dining options available in Savannah for vegans and vegetarians!

LUNCH?

this month savannah area schools will experience some tasty new changes in the lunchroom thanks to the savannah chatham school nutrition program.

by Rhonda Barlow, MPH, RD. LD, CLC.

ugust is the time of year when the Savannah Chatham County School Nutrition Program (CSNP) is prepared to answer the question, “What’s cooking?” for the coming school year.This school year, CSNP is cooking up changes that will not only taste good, but are also healthy for the students. Most notably, changes in the offered breakfast and lunch menu items will put more fruits and vegetables on students’ plates along with more whole grains. During the 2012-13 school year, the CSNP is also expanding its Farm to School Program (F2S) by serving more regionally grown menu items, showcasing a “F2S Taste of the Month” menu item and providing resource support for school gardens. Three local vendors are now working with CSNP to provide food for student meals. On the produce side, Coastal Georgia Small Farmers Co-op Inc. will provide fresh collard greens and pink-eyed peas during collard season, expected to be from November through February or March. The pink-eyed peas are fresh frozen and will be on the menu at about the same time as the collards. Savannah-based Derst Breads, also known as Flowers Foods, will provide the rolls, buns and sliced breads for student meals, while locally owned West Wing Pizza will provide pizza exclusively for high school students. The pizza will be sold as an a la carte item or as part of the reimbursable meal if the student picks up other necessary components.

Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act brings changes The CSNP, which serves as the local food authority that operates the federally funded National School Breakfast and Lunch Program in the Chatham County School District, began to smell the aroma of change with the passage of the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act in December 2010. The goal of the act was to increase the fruit and vegetable consumption of the students,

Well FED

decrease the animal protein consumption, decrease sodium and saturated/total/trans fat and to bring the calories the students were being offered in line with the actual calorie need for their age group. Upon passage of the act, the self-supporting CSNP immediately began planning ways to get student’s taste buds ready for more colorful fruits and vegetables on their plates and brown breads and buns on their sandwiches. As a result of the work already done, students will not see drastic changes made to their meals in the coming year versus last year. The main visual change for students in Chatham County will be less meat on some days, with the portion dropping from 2 ounces in the past to 1 or 1.5 ounces this year, as required by the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010.

However, the lower protein is not expected to be noticeable because CSNP will reduce it in the mixed component foods like salads and casseroles. Additionally, more whole grains will be offered each week, and meals are required to have less sodium and calories in the total meal. When students go through the lunch line, they will be required to pick up a fruit or vegetable, along with two other meal items to complete their meal tray. This will be the first time that students are not allowed to leave the line without picking up a minimum of a half cup of a fruit or vegetable. One bigger picture change in the coming school year is that the CSNP will shift to offering three different menus catering to the specific nutrient and caloric needs of the elementary, middle and high school students. Last year, there were just two menu plans—elementary and middle/secondary. The CSNP had already started Meatless Monday menu planning last school year and will continue to offer elementary students two meatless entrée options on Mondays. Middle and high school students will be offered a choice between one meatless entrée and one meatbased option on Mondays. Also new in the coming school year, each school will have a Nutrition Advisory Council that will give the students an active voice in helping to improve the school’s food environment. All students, parents, teachers, administrators and school community volunteers are encouraged to get involved and join the Nutrition Advisory Council. The goal of these changes is to help win the war against the childhood obesity epidemic that has been spoken of in the news. This year, school lunch will be the healthiest and best tasting buy in town for every student.

More about the CSNP structure: There are 334 school nutrition employees that ensure the students of Chatham County Public Schools eat a nutritious breakfast and lunch every day. The school nutrition director is Lydia Martin. There are three school nutrition coordinators that oversee the managers in the 52 schools. They are Sharon Stroman, Rhonda Barlow and Onetha Bonaparte. To find out what is going on with the CSNP, talk with the school nutrition manager at your child’s school. PICTURED ABOVE: Meet the ladies of CSNP.

A Citizen’s Guide to the

FOOD & FARM BILL by Georgia Organics

he Farm Bill – the nation’s largest agriculture policy roadmap is one that affects each and every one of us. If you farm, it shapes decisions such as crop insurance and water conservation grants. If you eat, it determines the price of your food and sets boundaries and funding for food stamps.

No matter who you are, the Farm Bill impacts what’s on your dinner table. You simply can’t afford to sit this one out. The Farm Bill is currently being debated in Congress. For you to effectively join the conversation – here are a few basics: The Farm Bill, authorized roughly every five years, has become a dynamic, all-encompassing policy guiding everything from food stamps to bioenergy to, most recently, organic farming. The Farm Bill is divided into 15 major titles, or sections, each covering programs and funding. The Farm Bill is written by the House and Senate Agriculture Committees – with funding determined by the Appropriations Committees. Ultimately, every member of Congress votes to reauthorize the Farm Bill. In 2008, the fiscal impact of the Farm Bill was just over $284 billion for its 5-year authorization, a total of 2% of total government funding. Here is a breakdown of its components:

Nutrition (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) - This title, the largest part of the Farm Bill, helps low-income families pay for food. In Georgia, nearly 1 in 5 families receive some level of food assistance through this section. That’s 20% of Georgia families. Let that sink in for just a second. This section encompasses 67% of total Farm Bill funding.

Commodity programs (Subsidies) - Provides direct payments to farmers regardless of how much they actually planted or how much they would sell their crops for. The Commodity section is the second largest in terms of funding, representing about 15%. What is not covered under this intended farm safety

Well FED

net, however, are fruits and vegetables. Commodity subsidies generally go to crops such as corn, cotton, wheat, soy and rice.

Crop insurance - This section of the Farm Bill has, for many years, assisted farmers in purchasing crop insurance in the event their crops fail or market prices decline. This is one of the most controversial parts of the current Farm Bill being debated as the federal government is currently underwriting approximately $7 billion annually of these insurance premiums.

Conservation - Conservation programs, popular among conventional and organic farm operations, offer technical assistance and funding to support ongoing environmental and climate benefits .

Trade - These programs involve promoting U.S. crops overseas. Energy - These programs generally include money for biofuels and energy efficiency in rural areas.

Miscellaneous - So then there are titles that cover everything else – from farmers markets to rural economic development to organic farming and efforts to train the next generation of farmers. All together, these programs make up a very small amount of the total Farm Bill budget. So, where does this leave us? What kind of improvements in policy do we want to make our farmers profitable, our families healthier through increased access to fruits and vegetables, and a more equitable system of programs and funding to support all farmers – regardless of size?

How can we accomplish this? Here are a few priority areas: • Connect farmers with community development opportunities that increase access to farmers markets, CSAs and other local, healthy food enterprises for low income families.

Georgia Fact: Studies indicate direct links between healthy food choices to income. Georgia Organics believes in good food for all. The Wholesome Wave Georgia project, which increases the buying power of recipients on food assistance at farmers

markets, is a successful strategy that is currently empowering supporting more equitable access to healthy food.

So, now for the most important part, what can you do? Here are 3 easy steps to join the conversation.

• Reinvigorate local and regional agricultural economies and food systems by improving processing and distribution channels for small and mid-sized farms.

1. Reach out to your Congressional Representative, Jack Kingston, and communicate your support for these programs and issues. We need to make sure

GEORGIA FACT: Infrastructure would empower the development of regional food hubs, support farm to school programs, and bolster valueadded production. • Strengthen the role of organic agriculture by providing funding for competitive organic research, organic data collection and price reporting; funding for enforcement of the national organic standards and certification cost-share assistance; crop insurance reform, and make working land conservation programs accessible to organic farmers and ranchers.

GEORGIA FACT: Georgia ranks 30 out of 50 states in terms of organic production, with .01% of our total farmland under organic production. • Increase the amount of fruits and vegetables grown in Georgia.

GEORGIA FACT: Of the $20 billion spent annually on food by Georgians, nearly $16 billion is going to out of state farmers. • Include a well-funded Conservation Title to support working lands conservation programs, conservation easement and farmland preservation programs, sustainable agriculture, and organic transition assistance

GEORGIA FACT: In 2010, the Conservation Stewardship Program and Environmental Quality Incentive Program alone impacted half a million acres in Georgia. • Support beginning farmers and ranchers through programs that facilitate access to land, credit, insurance, technical assistance and markets.

GEORGIA FACT: The average age of a Georgia farmer is 58. We need to invest in the next generation of farmers who will grow food for an exploding population. • Re-align current production subsidies to programs that reward farmers and ranchers for the environmental and climate benefits delivered by their farming practices.

GEORGIA FACT: Since 1995, Georgia has received more than $4 billion in commodity subsidies, compared to a mere $442 million in conservation support.

Congress hears from more than big industry players, Rep. Kingston has a powerful role as Chairman of the Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee.

a. Write a brief letter, send an email, place a phone call and ask to speak to his Agriculture Legislative Assistant OR invite the Congressman or his staff to your farmers market, community garden or farm to school program. 2. Talk to your friends. It’s time to reclaim civil political discourse and discussing these issues with your friends and colleagues to drive behind positive change.

3. Ask good questions. You don’t need to be the one with all the answers. Sometimes, posing the right questions to our policymakers is a great way to start a meaningful conversation. Here are a few key questions: a. What can we do to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables being grown and supported by Farm Bill programs? b. Organic farming is on the rise based on increasing consumer demand, yet organic farmers face an unlevel playing field against conventional farmers, especially when it comes to crop insurance support. What can we do to support this industry and the jobs it’s creating? c. How can we build a system that gives farmers an opportunity to grow their businesses? Where is the Farm Bill Now? The U.S. Senate passed their version of the 2012 Farm Bill in late June. It included some real positive moves and policy priorities that many in the local and sustainable food movement were really happy about. The Farm Bill is currently in the U.S. House.

Oh, the dog days of

Summer by Liz Querusio

n a hot day in May, the waiting room at an animal hospital in Savannah was in crisis mode. An emergency patient was about to arrive and when she did, there was no time to lose. Two women burst through the door, one carrying a panting, over-heated, little, black dog in a towel. While I waited for the vet technician to call for my dog, I couldn’t help but overhear the grim details. She had been in the backyard, in the shade on that particular ninety-degree day when she started to have a seizure. From an examination room in the back with my own dog, I could hear whining echoing throughout the office. She was panting, whining, and crying out in pain in the most desperate and heart-breaking way. Eventually, all the noises subsided. The vet said that the little dog had come in with heat stroke and though they were doing all they could, she wasn’t going to make it.

Every year, literally thousands of dogs die due to heat stroke. There are no true statistics because of the staggering amount of unreported cases. The heart-breaking truth is that these tragedies could have been prevented. This summer, learn to spot the signs of heat stroke early and keep your dog safe in the sun.

Hot Cars

One hot button issue every year is the mounting toll of children and animals dying in hot cars. “The biggest issue that I see in the summer time that infuriates me is when I see dogs in cars,” Dr. Melanie Bevere of Crossroad Animal Hospital vents. “Just within 10 minutes, an animal can already be cooking their insides, essentially.” A hot dog in a car is a panicking dog. Jumping around, barking at passersby, and panting all increase a dog’s body temperature. “So then they’ve got their own excitement building with the temperature around them,” Dr. Bevere explains, “Cracking the windows, even leaving the windows down all the way does nothing.” If you’ve got your dog in the car, Dr. Bevere says to never leave them unattended unless you are willing to leave the air conditioning on.

If you see a dog in parked vehicle, take action at once! You can go into the establishment the dog is parked in front of and ask for the manager who can then try to help you find the owner. However, if you can’t find the dog’s owner call Animal Control or 911. They have the authority to break into the vehicle and rescue the dog from cooking alive. Animal control can even site the owner of the dog for animal cruelty. Though it may seem that some dogs have it made in the shade in the yard, they can also be in danger of heat stroke. Dr. Bevere states that dogs tethered in their yard tend to wrap themselves up and then can’t make it to shade or water. And doghouses aren’t a shady solution as much as a hot box of death.

Continued on next page

If you’re dog is outside, make sure he has shade, cool water, maybe even a portable electric fan. Otherwise, limit your dog’s time in the sun. You wouldn’t want to be left outside on a hot day wrapped in a fur coat, would you?

Feel the Burn

Exercising with your dog is a great way to bond and burn energy. Unfortunately, midday exercising is another leading cause of heat stroke in dogs. “I always feel bad when I see these dogs running on the sidewalk in the middle of the day in the direct sun,” says Dr. Bevere. Since dogs can’t sweat like humans do, they developed other methods. Dr. Bevere goes on to explain that, “their only cooling mechanism is through their paw pads and also through their tongue, panting. The only place that they can sweat is through their paw pads.” Imagine walking on the beach, barefoot on a hot day – ouch! That’s what it feels like to a dog’s paws on hot concrete. To protect your doggie’s feet, Dr. Bevere recommends only exercising your dog during the early morning or evening, once the sun starts to set.

Signs & Symptoms

Panting and drooling may seem like normal dog things to do. But if you notice that your dog’s gums or tongue is bright red or his eyes are glazed over, this is a warning sign of heat stroke. Over heated dogs also might stagger around, vomit, drink lots of water, or even experience bloody diarrhea. “Once their body gets above 108, we really have some seriously lifethreatening issues that we can’t recover from,” explains Dr. Bevere.When your dog’s body temperature reaches these high temperatures, their body’s cell start to die, causing her swelling in the brain which can lead to seizures. If you see your dog displaying any of these symptoms and suspect they are overheated, bring them to a cool place quickly. Using a water hose to wet down your dog may also to help lower their body temperature. Give them small amounts of water since drinking too much at once can cause your dog to vomit which in turn leads to dehydration. Monitor your dog and call your vet for further instructions immediately. If the situation doesn’t improve, you will probably have to take them in to an emergency veterinary hospital.

Check out dogtrainer.quickanddirtytips.com or dogchannel.com for games that will keep you and your dog entertained! Feel free to call up your veterinary office to find out what other steps you can take to make sure your dog has a fun and safe summer.

Keeping It Cool

If your dog is like mine, he’ll keep fetching as long as you keep throwing that Frisbee, no matter how hot it is. Dogs overheat long before we do, so it’s up to us – the owners – to let our dogs know when enough is enough. So how can we keep our beloved canines entertained in this oppressive weather?

Hide and Seek

Since we’re trapped in the house most of the day, my dog and I can’t play fetch for as long as we normally do outside. I’ve had to look for creative ways to keep my boy busy inside without wrecking the house. Food puzzles are great games to play that challenge your dogs’ brain and bring you closer together. Try getting a treat or toy and placing it under an old towel in front of your dog. After he understands that the treat is under the towel, he’s got the basic concept of ‘hide and seek’. Next try rolling up the treat in the towel and then tying it in a knot. Hide and seek is not only fun, it can also be used to develop an important part of your dog’s training. This version of ‘Hide and Seek’ will help teach your dog to find you by the sound of your voice.With the assistance of a friend, grab a treat and hide while your friend holds your dog back. When you’re ready, call for your dog until he finds you, then reward him with a treat. Who wouldn’t love a snack just for showing up when called?

The Great Outdoors

Ever play indoor soccer with your dog? Get a ball that’s too big for your dog to pick up with his mouth, but light enough for him to roll around. Roll the ball around on the ground at him, and try to get him to bounce it back. He’ll get the hang of it in no time! Why not share the pool and take your dog swimming? Swimming is great exercise and keeps your dog cool. The several of the community dog parks including Daffin Dog Park have a couple of small pools that are great for splashing around in and making a general mess. Some of the boat docks on the way to Tybee allow dog swimming. However, as far as I can tell, there are no public beaches in Savannah where you can bring your dog. The dog days of summer may be upon us, but that doesn’t have to stop you and your dog’s fun time together. Just remember to limit outdoor activity to the early morning, before it really heats up, or in the evening when that cool breeze is coming off the river. Inside or out, make sure your pooch has access to cool, clean water at all times. Dogs also need a cool place to lie down and pant for a while. My dog prefers the spot in front of the box fan. Unfortunately, so do I.

a masterpiece in midtown Where passion, fresh food, and artful drinks come together, you’ll find Blue Turtle.

by Cornelia Stumpf with photography from Angela Hopper

rying to decide where to go out for drinks and dinner in Savannah can sometimes be a difficult challenge. Busy, bustling bars and restaurants, mostly catering to the ‘party all night’ college-aged crowd, line the streets of downtown Savannah. For those who aren’t looking to “dance all night”, but desire a relaxing, local owned restaurant and bar with great food and artfully crafted cocktails, well, we may have found just what you are looking for. Midtown Savannah is home to the skillfully designed Blue Turtle Bistro & Bar, one of Savannah’s best –kept secrets, which is becoming the “go-to spot” for young professionals, locals, and families. The Blue Turtle Bistro opened its doors in the spring of 2011 with the main focus on offering fresh sourced innovative food with a healthy spin. Supporting local businesses for their food sources like the poultry which comes from Grassroots farm in Glenville, GA, is a big part of the Blue Turtle philosophy. Recently added is the Blue Turtle Bar, directly next to the restaurant, with a new eye-catching design and welcoming atmosphere.

The newest venture of local entrepreneur couple Brian and Jennifer Huskey, owners of Gaslight Group, has been an ever-growing sensation offering a fresh spin on inspired eclectic food and daily rotating chef’s specials. Voted one of the best lunch bargains in town, according to the Reader’s Choice Awards 2012, the Blue Turtle Bistro is catering to residents, families and busy professionals alike. In early 2012, when the Bistro started with their successful ‘Happy Hour’ for the first time, Reader’s Choice immediately selected the Blue Turtle as one of the ‘Best Places to go for Happy Hour’. To experience what everybody is talking about check out the Happy Hour: Monday-Saturday from 4-6 with popular drink specials such as $2 margaritas, $3 house wine, and $2 bottle beers. Additionally, with the purchase of any beverage you will receive two dollars off starters and appetizers. The Blue Turtle Bistro & Bar also features specialty days such as Craft Brew Monday with special pricing on select craft beers, Cocktail Tuesday, and Wine Wednesday with ½ priced bottles of wine all night.

With the growing popularity and expanding clientele, Jennifer and Brian reached the decision to extend the restaurant to include a larger bar space next door.With this recent addition, the entire restaurant got a makeover by local designer Wendy Martin, which also shows Gaslight Group’s commitment to sustainability and staying local with the selection of product choices as well as product sourcing. The well designed bar space features “up- cycled” shipping pallets, a recycled glass terrazzo bar, refinished original terrazzo floors and rotating works by local artists in an innovatively designed space. The overall taupe color scheme for the restaurant and bar, relaxing and elegant, creates an inviting setting for girls’ night, an after-work cocktail and a relaxing dinner with friends and family. Beer and Wine dinners are featured in a loose line up every 4- 6 weeks and feature seasonal food and drink specialties. Some of these exclusive events include their recent and extremely well received Ameri-Can Canned Beer Dinner and Thomas George Estates Wine Dinner. While the bar expansion caters purely to the adult population, the Blue Turtle Bistro showed their commitment to being a family friendly place by adding a kids room that features lounge furniture, toys and a TV with headphones to keep the youngsters busy while mom and dad enjoy a peaceful night out. For outdoor lovers the restaurant and bar are adjacent to the Blue Turtle’s patio, offering seating year-round for everybody enjoying their lunch, brunch, dinner and drinks “ Al fresco”. With menu choices that cater to everybody’s taste and will as well as satisfy special food requirements such as vegetarian and gluten – free, patrons are sure to add one , two or more Blue Turtle dishes to their favorites list. Appetizers include fresh staples like the Lobster Ceviche Taco Salad, Spanish Meatballs with Watercress and Crostini, or old time favorites like Pigs in a Blanket, which are created with a twist in a puff pastry stuffed with chorizo black beans, and roasted corn served with a cool roasted red pepper puree. For the main course, choices of seared scallops and duck prosciutto over angel hair pasta and basil butter pesto, the delicious Chicken Schnitzel with lemon caper pan gravy and white bean cassoulet, and the daily changing “Risotto of the day” are bringing a fresh Mediterranean taste to mid-town Savannah. Desserts which are homemade and change daily are a dessert lover’s dream. Even lunch satisfies the healthiest of appetites with a large selection of sandwiches like the delightful “Cuban” with ham, shredded pork, Swiss cheese, dill pickle, mayo, and Dijon mustard on a hoagie roll, taking you traveling on your lunch break to “ Calle Ocho “ in Miami. Soups are homemade and inventive; salads come in unexpected combinations influenced from the tastes of the Mediterranean to Thai cuisine. The Blue Turtle Bistro surprises diners each time with something new and mouthwatering in a relaxed , welcoming dining environment.

-Lobster Ceviche Salad Recipe on the next page!

Lobster Ceviche Salad

5 lb live lobster 6 limes 4 lemons

4 oranges 1 green papaya 1 red onion

4 cloves garlic (minced) 1 red bell pepper 1/2 cup cilantro

Blanch lobsters in boiling water for 3 min. before placing in an ice bath. Peel papaya and remove seeds; julienne along with red pepper and onion. Mince cilantro and garlic and add to mixture. Zest limes and juice them along with lemons and oranges. Combine juice and zest with vegetable mixture. Remove lobsters from ice bath. To break down lobsters and remove the meat, twist to remove tail and claws. Split the tails down the middle from the top with a chef â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knife. To remove claw meat hold so that the small knuckle is down and gently tap the side with a knife and it will pop open. To finish, slice lobster meat into thin strips so they are uniform in size to the previously cut fruit and vegetables. Combine with juice and vegetables and store overnight.

Serve with black beans, a small salad, chips, and a sprinkling of queso fresco, enjoy!

Lunch and Wine:

Top selections for Savannah’s Historic District

By Chad Lyon and Chris Zinaich

unchtime in downtown Savannah can be a real headache in the summer tourist season. The parking is extremely difficult and the heat can be unbearable. It can become even more difficult if your midday agenda is different than the person you are meeting. Lunch can be different things for different people. For some like myself, it is a time to have wine and relax; because there is nothing better than enjoying the European lifestyle that includes having a midday drink. For others it is a quick escape for lunch, in the midst of a hectic day. Many of us in the “Service Industry” choose to live this so-called European lifestyle. It may seem strange to the “Nine to Fivers” that alcohol is drank with every meal, but it’s often a way of life and part of the service industry culture. Quite often these industry types like to have wine with lunch or even in lieu of lunch, which presents a challenge when trying to select a place to meet during a lunch break. If you have worked in the restaurant/ hospitality sector then you understand, but if you have never worked at a hotel, restaurant or bar then you probably just see these people as lushes, tourists, or the quintessential Savannah lush-tourists. Every major city in America has two types of people, those who have worked in a restaurant, bar or hotel and there are those that have not. I’ve been involved with restaurants for the past 14 years and Chris Z. was literally born in a restaurant, therefore we definitely fall into the category of “Restaurant Industry.” A couple years ago we both found wonderful girlfriends that had never worked in a restaurant or bar.This creates an interesting dichotomy that can spiral into contention when deciding a destination for lunch. It is a reoccurring challenge when your significant other has a job with daytime hours and must coordinate with “Industry” hours that change more frequently than Savannah weather on a hot August afternoon. So, after years of compromises, circular discussions, trial and error, we offer our Well FED readers, the benefit from our years of experience in Savannah. The following is a list of some of our favorite places in the historic district. Whether you’re one of the thousands of other industry folk working downtown, or just visiting; utilize the following list of places that offer good wine with quality cuisine, so you and your lunch date can reach a compromise that pleases both the palate and your schedules.

Vic’s on the River 26 W. Bay St. (912) 721-1000 (Photo on left) By far the most refined destination on the list is Vic’s. They have just added a new patio that will be perfect for the, not so fast, approaching fall weather. During the heat of summer, the bar at Vic’s is a great place to enjoy the river and watch the massive container ships. As they cruise by enjoy a nice glass of vino and keep on the look out for Dr. Vic, he frequents his establishment during the day. The Fried Green Tomatoes are a great starter and will pair nicely with the Guenoc, Petite Syrah. The sweetness of the balsamic glaze and bright acidity of the green tomatoes need the fruit, cedar, and white pepper found within this elegant wine.

SAGE 41 Whitaker St. (912) 233-0002

Maxwell’s 109 Jefferson St (912) 349-5878

The newest addition to the downtown lunch scene, perfectly located between Congress and Broughton St. SAGE has taken an innovative approach to wine and cuisine. The wine list is divided into 3 blocks of pricing with a “Bottomless Glass” option for each tier and the lunch menu has eight different categories. These categories include the “Not So Salad” for salad alternatives, “Meat vs Vegetable” for the conflicted Omnivore/Vegetarian couple, “The Breakfast Club” for the late afternoon hangover, and “The Dean’s List” for the gratuitous fried food connoisseur. If you are looking for a lunch that is faux healthy try the indulgent Steel City Steak from the “Not So Salad” section. It is a construction of beef loin, hardboiled eggs, french fries covered with cheese and a pepper balsamic dressing and pairs nicely with Byron Pinot Noir from the $8 Block on the wine list

Another recent addition to the lunch circuit, this is the perfect place to enjoy an elegant interior, a wellthought out wine list and innovative creations by Chef James Parker. Maxwell’s is an off the beat gem that many locals would like to keep a secret. The just off west Broughton location is a great escape from the crowded City Market. On a hot day in August who wouldn’t want to sneak away for an intimate lunch date or personal indulgence to enjoy the seared Tuna Tataki Salad and Maretima Pinot Grigio. The spice of the Ponzu Vinaigrette with the sashimi grade Ahi Tuna balances nicely with the complex Italian Pinot Grigio. If you enjoy fresh product, small plates, and refined atmosphere, then sneak away to 109 Jefferson. There are a number of small plate selections that allow you to eat light and healthy and won’t slow you down for the latter half of the day.

B. Matthews Eatery 325 E. Bay St (912) 233-1319

Brasserie 529 E. Liberty St. (912) 238-0045

A casual bistro with a quality wine list and a full bar carrying on the building’s history as Savannah’s oldest tavern. If their famous Blackeyed Pea Cake Sandwich is not your preference then try one of their selections of signature sandwiches, fresh salads, entrees or late breakfast selections. Anytime a restaurant has breakfast selections at lunchtime you know they are catering to the “Restaurant Industry.” I love anything with couscous, so the Salmon and Couscous Salad with the La Flor Malbec Rose for $8 is a perfect summer combination to enjoy on their patio.

Refined yet comfortable, elegant without being pretentious: It may not be walking distance for your lunch break, but you can stay cool in the car with plenty of private parking available. The wine list compliments the food exceptionally well since the chefs select the wine. Unless you prefer to sit and enjoy the afternoon on their patio with a nice glass of Casa Lapostelle Merlot from Chile. They also house cure many types of meat, sausage, and Pâté. A perfect pairing with this wine and the some of the best Charcuterie in Savannah!
