W i nt e r Gardening with kids If you have a garden or access to one, and you have kids- now is the time to introduce them to the pleasures of growing food. Studies show that “children who grow their own food are more likely to eat fresh fruits and vegetables or express a preference for these foods.”¹ The fall and winter seasons are perfect for starting a garden and for teaching the basics without a whole lot of effort in maintenance. Hardy winter vegetables such as collards, kale, mustard & turnips can be directly seeded into the garden through the end of December. Past that, you can start them indoors to be transplanted out when their first “true leaves” appear. You can time it to be when we have a warm spell above freezing for a few days to a week, so they can get acclimated to colder temperatures. Arugula can be direct seeded until soil temperatures drop below 65 degrees, and then they too can be started indoors and planted in a warm sunny wind-protected location in the garden. Don’t forget the root crops such as fast-growing radishes, carrots and beets. When it’s too cold to be comfortable outdoors, snow peas and sugar snaps can be grown in flats indoors in late January-early February. Plant them out when they have the second set of leaves - they can take a frost or two and then be big enough to start blooming in mid-late March. Crops like these are a big hit with kids as they can be picked and eaten on the spot and taste sweet with a satisfying crunch- I bet you can’t eat just one! If you have a place for a perennial crop where it can live year after year undisturbed by competition with other plants, then be sure to buy some asparagus crowns to plant in compost amended trenches in January. Just search the internet for “planting asparagus” and you’ll come up with sites such as this: 12

Well FED

http://vimeo.com/3939735 - that not only tells you how, but shows an instructive video- ah the miracles of modern technology! There’s nothing like picking a tender shoot of asparagus in the spring and eating it then and there- even picky eaters will love it, especially if the anticipation has been building up since January! With the new awareness we have of problems associated with childhood obesity it only stands to reason that engaging kids in healthy food activities such as gardening that connects them more intimately with their food and where it comes from, fosters nutrition awareness, improves food choices, offers fresh air, sunshine and exercise is a winning combination to combat this national health problem. According to Dr. David Ludwig in his book entitled, Ending the Food Fight, 33% of children and teens are overweight or obese. His thought is to incorporate the idea of eating foods of the “stone age,” meaning the types of foods that hunter-gatherers would have eaten, such as berries, nuts, tubers, fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs and lean meat (which would have been organic and wild too.)

Having a small flock of chickens in the backyard or at school can teach kids a variety of lessons from animal husbandry, respect for non-human beings, barter and trade systems if you have excess eggs, and the reproductive cycle if you happen to also have a rooster (not recommended or allowed for city dwellers.) A chicken “tractor” can be utilized in the garden to let the feathered workers till the soil while searching for and eating sap-sucking, leaf-chewing bugs. All the while fertilizing the soil with nitrogen rich droppings and mixing all that in too. Move the temporary coop to another bed that needs their attention and plant the one they were removed from after working in any remaining droppings left on the surface. By the time the seeds grow into harvestable material, any danger of using this fresh fertilizer will be past. Just to be on the safe side, don’t plant short term crops that will be harvested within a few weeks such as lettuce or root crops such as radishes. Advocating through your local school’s PTA for a school garden is an admirable civic service you can do, whether you have kids in school or not. The next generation that will inherit our ecological responsibility can become better connected to the natural world and the season’s and cycles of food production now. “Second and fourth grade students in a school gardening program in Texas showed significantly more gains in pro-environmental attitudes than students in a control group, and the more outdoor experiences they had, the more positive their attitudes. In a qualitative assessment of an intergenerational gardening project, students expressed an increased understanding of ecology, interconnections in nature, and responsibility to care for the environment.”² There is a wealth of information and resources on the internet for organic gardening methods that can empower the novice gardener whether they are young or old. Developing gardening skills alongside your toddler, adolescent or teen can have social, environmental, educational and life-long lifestyle benefits. Learning together can be a lesson in itself, empowering them to look up information and teaching you something now and again.

Pantry

Tortilla Edition by Rachel D’Erminio

Do you find yourself opening the refrigerator door, wondering what you’re going to eat for dinner? Is your pantry a barren wasteland filled with questionable dry goods and ancient canned food? I’ve been there and through my experience, learned to create unique dishes with what I already have. Join me as I share with you recipes for fun, simple dishes made with common pantry staples. For this edition, I opened my pantry for inspiration and found not one, not two , but THREE bags of tortillas.These Mexican staples are usually used for fajitas, quesadillas and tacos, but I wanted try something a bit more creative so I gave the humble corn tortilla an Italian spin and made “Mexican Lasagna” and “Dessert Pizza”. These dishes have endless variations; I’ll teach you how to make a basic version of these recipes and you can use whatever you have in your kitchen to make a passable meal without making a trip to the store.

Mexican Lasagna Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

1 package tortillas (approx. 10) 1 pound ground beef Taco seasoning packet ½ of a yellow onion 1 medium tomato 1 cup fresh spinach leaves 1 can of black beans 1 can of spaghetti sauce 16 oz of Mexican blend cheese

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Chop up veggies, giving garlic and onions a fine chop and cutting the tomato and spinach into bigger pieces. Cook the beef on a stove top, adding the garlic, onions and taco seasoning. Layer 2 tortillas on the bottom of a large lasagna pan. Place spaghetti sauce, meat and cheese in this layer. Add 2 more tortillas and this time layer sauce, beans, vegetables and cheese. Continue until the pan is full. Cover pan with aluminum foil and cook for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook for 10 more minutes.

Dessert Pizza Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients: 2 Tortillas 1/4 cup peanut butter 1 banana ½ cup blueberries 2 teaspoons sugar honey

Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spread peanut butter on the tortillas and place them on the cookie sheet. Slice up the banana and distribute evenly on tortillas along with the blueberries. Sprinkle sugar over the tortillas and drizzle with honey. Bake for 10 minutes.

Variations: Try cream cheese or jam instead of peanut butter. If you don’t have bananas or blueberries, you can substitute strawberries, coconut flakes, nuts or dried fruit. Also try chocolate syrup or caramel instead of honey. Almost any variation will be delicious!

Mexican Lasagna contd.

Variations: Don’t have ground beef? Try ground pork, leftover chicken or a vegetarian lasagna. Instead of spinach and tomato, use any veggies you have hanging out in the fridge. Even broccoli and squash can be great in this lasagna. Try salsa instead of spaghetti sauce and refried beans or chickpeas instead of black beans. Whatever you have in your pantry will taste great in this lasagna! Well FED

Learn the difference among Vegetable

Bad fats – artery clogging saturated fat and trans fat – are getting a lot of attention in the news.That’s prompting some readers to take a closer look at the oils they’re using to cook with at home.

In some ways, decisions about cooking oils have gotten simpler. Advice from the ’90s to radically restrict all types of fat has eased up. In part, that’s because nutrition science is finding that the amount of fat in the diet appears to be less important to health than the type of fats we eat. There’s no doubt about fats to avoid. Meat, dairy products, commercial baked goods and fast-food french fries, for example, are comparatively high in the trans fats and saturated fats that raise blood cholesterol levels and increase the risk of a heart attack. But unsaturated fats have the opposite effect.They’re the good fats that lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce our risk of coronary artery disease.

Well FED

Oils

Plant foods – vegetables, nuts, seeds and their oils, as well as seafood – contain the highest amounts of unsaturated fats. Simply put, oils from vegetables, nuts and seeds contain more healthful fats than do butter and lard (largely made of saturated fat) and margarine (usually composed largely of trans fat). Here’s something to keep in mind, because you’ll see these terms when you look for fat on food labels: There are two forms of unsaturated fat – polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat. Both types appear to support good health. Another thing to be aware of: Oils contain mixtures of different types of fat. One reader told me she noticed the olive oil she was buying contained 13 percent saturated fat. She wondered: How could olive oil be a good choice if it contains saturated fat? Most foods with any fat at all contain the full range of saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and, sometimes, trans fat, too. Olive oil, for example, contains a bit of saturated fat, but more than 70 percent of olive oil is the good-for-you, monounsaturated fat. Most vegetable, seed and nut oils contain large amounts of unsaturated fat and smaller amounts of saturated fat. For example: • Safflower, sunflower and corn oils are mostly polyunsaturated fat, with some monounsaturated fat and a small amount of saturated fat, too. • Canola,olive,soybean and peanut oils contain mostly monounsaturated fat, with some polyunsaturated fat and a small amount of saturated fat. • Palm oil and coconut oil are exceptions. Both are mostly saturated, with smaller amounts of monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. Coconut oil, in particular, is nearly 90 percent saturated fat.

So which vegetable oil should you use? That depends on what you want to use it for. In terms of health, any vegetable oils are good choices, but limit the tropical oils. Other factors to consider: • Flavor. Olive oil, particularly the more flavorful extra virgin varieties, can give an odd flavor to pancakes and cookies (though some people swear by it for any and every use). But it’s a good allpurpose oil for most other stovetop uses – sautéing onions, garlic and vegetables. In baked goods, a less flavorful oil such as corn or canola works best. Many people like to stir-fry vegetables in peanut oil.

• Cost. It’s OK to vary your vegetable oil purchases according to what’s on sale. • Availability. Take a cue from one reader who, when she couldn’t find the safflower oil she wanted, bought canola oil instead. How many different cooking oils should you keep on hand at home? It’s up to you. I keep olive oil and corn oil in my pantry, and that’s it. Keep in mind that oil becomes rancid over time. So, unless you use a lot, avoid large bottles. And be sure to store oils in a cool, dark place.

“the diesel engine can be fed with vegetable oils and would help considerably in the development of agriculture in the countries which use it.”

Do make bleed come out to the black line on this side

-Rudolph Diesel, 1912

OIL 2.0 :biodiesel In 1897, Rudolf Diesel invented an engine that would run on vegetable oil. He called his invention the Diesel Engine. Most diesel car engines no longer run on straight vegetable oil. But all diesel engines can run on Biodiesel, which is a fuel made from vegetable oil. In fact, Disney Land operates 75% of all their diesel equipment on Biodiesel made from waste oils recycled from their own restaurants. Perphaps, it may be possible here...

Biodiesel represents a shift toward a cleaner, more local and more sustainable future. what is biodiesel?

why is biodiesel so important?

Since there are a lot of misconceptions about Biodiesel, let’s start off with the basics. Biodiesel is a fuel that has been designated as an alternative to petrol-diesel by the US Dept of Energy, the US Dept of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Fuel-grade Biodiesel must be produced to strict industry specifications (ASTM D6751). It will not “gum” up your engine. In fact, much of its popularity is due to improved engine performance and lifespan when compared to petrol-diesel (what is typically found at the gas pump). As a clean burning fuel with solvent properties, Biodiesel reduces deposits in fuels tanks, lines, and injectors that are commonly created by petroldiesel. Biodiesel also reduces wear on the engine due to its increased lubricity. Lab tests have shown that as little as 2% Biodiesel can increase the lubricity in an engine by 66% when blended with petrol-diesel. Due to a higher cetane number, Biodiesel also increases engine torque while usually maintaining fuel mileage and horsepower.

Cleaner: According to the EPA and based on the most stringent evaluations available, Biodiesel emissions contain 100% fewer sulfates (SOx), 67% fewer unburned hydrocarbons, 48% less carbon monoxide, 47% fewer particulates, and 50% less ozone, as compared to petrol-diesel. On average, Biodiesel exhaust is 60% cleaner than petrol when measured at the tailpipe of the vehicle. When life cycle emissions are measured Biodiesel is actually 78% cleaner on average than petrol, according to a joint study published by the US Dept of Energy and the US Dept of Agriculture. This is due to the fact that burning Biodiesel made from vegetable oil mimics the natural carbon cycle. The production of new soybeans roughly offsets the consumption (burning, eating, rotting, ect.) of last year’s crop. For example, if an acre of soybeans were completely burned, the resulting carbon emissions would be almost the same as if an acre were left to biodegrade naturally. Burning petrol, on the other hand, releases thousands of years of stored carbon and sulfur and results in significant negative impacts to both health and the environment.

the use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today, but such oils may become in the course of time as important as the petroleum and coal tar products of the present time.” -rudolph diesel, 1912 Local: The Biodiesel produced at Southern Enviro

Solutions is made from recycled vegetable oil collected from local restaurants. The fuel is made locally, and sold locally. No oil wells, no pipelines, no tankers, no gulf coast oil spills. Biodiesel also averages 10 cents less per gallon when purchased at SES. All savings and profits help support local jobs and businesses.

On the left is waste oil which is converted into clean biodiesel on the right.

Sustainable:

The United States spends almost $450,000 every minute on foreign oil. That’s $232,000,000,000 (almost $¼ trillion) US dollars that we collectively send other countries each year for a non-renewable and increasingly unstable resource. On the other hand, America could offset all its oil imports from Iraq if all the waste vegetable oil in America were converted to Biodiesel. Current technologies also exist to produce vast quantities of plant oils from algae (even in arid climates) using nothing more than salt water, waste water, and sun light. As technologies improve and the costs to commercially produce algae facilities are reduced, Biodiesel made from renewable “oilgae” has the potential to offset far more imported oil and further reduce our ecological and international “footprint.” In order to fill the demand for quality Biodiesel in the Savannah area, Southern Enviro Solutions was established in 2008. Our objective is to manufacture and sell biodiesel at a reduced price in order to supply an energy solution that will benefit society as a whole. In order to further minimize our petrol impact and ecological footprint, our fleet of trucks is powered by Biodiesel, and soybean farmers are among our customers. Bottom line, we strive to be a sustainable industry from the beginning of the process to the end.

It might sound odd to say this about something people deal with at least three times a day, but food in America has been more or less invisible, politically speaking, until very recently. At least until the early 1970s, when a bout of food price inflation and the appearance of books critical of industrial agriculture (by Wendell Berry, Francis Moore Lappé, and Barry Commoner, among others) threatened to propel the subject to the top of the national agenda, Americans have not had to think very hard about where their food comes from, or what it is doing to the planet, their bodies, and their society.

Well FED

Most people count this a blessing. Americans spend a smaller percentage of their income on food than any people in history—slightly less than 10 percent—and a smaller amount of their time preparing it: a mere thirtyone minutes a day on average, including clean-up. The supermarkets brim with produce summoned from every corner of the globe, a steady stream of novel food products (17,000 new ones each year) crowds the middle aisles, and in the freezer case you can find “home meal replacements” in every conceivable ethnic stripe, demanding nothing more of the eater than opening the package and waiting for the microwave to chirp. Considered in the long sweep of human history, in which getting food dominated not just daily life but economic and political life as well, having to worry about food as little as we do, or did, seems almost a kind of dream.

The dream that the age-old “food problem” had been largely solved for most Americans was sustained by the tremendous postwar increases in the productivity of American farmers, made possible by cheap fossil fuel (the key ingredient in both chemical fertilizers and pesticides) and changes in agricultural policies. Asked by President Nixon to try to drive down the cost of food after it had spiked in the early 1970s, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz shifted the historical focus of federal farm policy from supporting prices for farmers to boosting yields of a small handful of commodity crops (corn and soy especially) at any cost.

The 1993 deaths of four children in Washington State who had eaten hamburgers from Jack in the Box were traced to meat contaminated with E.coli 0157:H7, a mutant strain of the common intestinal bacteria first identified in feedlot cattle in 1982. Since then, repeated outbreaks of food-borne illness linked to new antibioticresistant strains of bacteria (campylobacter, salmonella, MRSA) have turned a bright light on the shortsighted practice of routinely administering antibiotics to food animals, not to treat disease but simply to speed their growth and allow them to withstand the filthy and stressful conditions in which they live.

The administration’s cheap food policy worked almost too well: crop prices fell, forcing farmers to produce still more simply to break even. This led to a deep depression in the farm belt in the 1980s followed by a brutal wave of consolidation. Most importantly, the price of food came down, or at least the price of the kinds of foods that could be made from corn and soy: processed foods and sweetened beverages and feedlot meat. (Prices for fresh produce have increased since the 1980s.) Washington had succeeded in eliminating food as a political issue—an objective dear to most governments at least since the time of the French Revolution.

In the wake of these food safety scandals,the conversation about food politics that briefly flourished in the 1970s was picked up again in a series of books, articles, and movies about the consequences of industrial food production. Beginning in 2001 with the publication of Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation, a surprise best-seller, and, the following year, Marion Nestle’s Food Politics, the food journalism of the last decade has succeeded in making clear and telling connections between the methods of industrial food production, agricultural policy, food-borne illness, childhood obesity, the decline of the family meal as an institution, and, notably, the decline of family income beginning in the 1970s.

But although cheap food is good politics, it turns out there are significant costs—to the environment, to public health, to the public purse, even to the culture—

and as these became impossible to ignore in recent years, food has come back into view. Beginning in the late 1980s, a series of food safety scandals opened people’s eyes to the way their food was being produced, each one drawing the curtain back a little further on a food system that had changed beyond recognition. When BSE, or mad cow disease, surfaced in England in 1986, Americans learned that cattle, which are herbivores, were routinely being fed the flesh of other cattle; the practice helped keep meat cheap but at the risk of a hideous brain-wasting disease.

Besides drawing women into the work force, falling wages made fast food both cheap to produce and a welcome, if not indispensible, option for pinched and harried families. The picture of the food economy Schlosser painted resembles an upside-down version of the social compact sometimes referred to as “Fordism”: instead of paying workers well enough to allow them to buy things like cars, as Henry Ford proposed to do, companies like Wal-Mart and McDonald’s pay their workers so poorly that they can afford only the cheap, low-quality food these companies sell, creating a kind of nonvirtuous circle driving down both wages and the quality of food. The advent of fast food (and cheap food in general) has, in effect, subsidized the decline of family incomes in America. …But food is invisible no longer and, in light of the mounting costs we’ve incurred by ignoring it, it is likely to demand much more of our attention in the future, as eaters, parents, and citizens. It is only a matter of time before politicians seize on the power of the food issue, which besides being increasingly urgent is also almost primal, indeed is in some deep sense protopolitical. For where do all politics begin if not in the high chair?—at that fateful moment when mother, or father, raises a spoonful of food to the lips of the baby who clamps shut her mouth, shakes her head no, and for the very first time in life awakens to and asserts her sovereign power.

Is RawRightForYou? IsRaw Understanding the Raw Pet Food Diet By: Lisa A.Yackel, CVPM, PHR

W ith the latest recall in October from Blue Buffalo Company Ltd. on several lots of its “Blue” brand dog food, the continuing onslaught of pet food recalls over the last two years have left pet owners unsure where to turn for safe alternatives for what they may currently be feeding their dogs. Mirroring the trend that people are taking for themselves, pet owners are leaning more and more toward organic, raw, and holistic types of foods. For this article’s purposes, we will concentrate on raw diets for dogs. The popularity of these diets -which emphasize raw meat, bones, fruits, and vegetables -- is rising, even amongst huge controversy within the veterinary field. In 1993 an Australian veterinarian, Ian Billinghurst, suggested in a publicized book what he called the BARF diet, an acronym that stands for Bones and Raw Food, or Biologically Appropriate Raw Food. Dr. Billinghurst suggested that adult dogs would thrive on an evolutionary diet based on what canines ate before they became domesticated: Raw, meaty bones and vegetable scraps. Grain-based commercial pet foods, he contended, were harmful to a dog’s health. The interest sparked a growing number of companies that now offer frozen and freezedried raw diets. Potential benefits of the raw dog food diet that supporters tout include: Shinier coats, healthier skin, cleaner teeth, higher energy levels, and smaller stools. Mainstream veterinarians tend to disagree, as does the FDA. There have been many documented studies published in veterinary journals about the risks of raw diets. Often, veterinarians see owners switch to raw feeding in times of crisis, such as when their dogs have been diagnosed with deep-seeded problems like allergies or colitis. This can be the worst time to introduce unproven diets to these dogs at risk. Many veterinarians 26

Well FED

are still uncomfortable with the idea of feeding dogs a diet that mimics what they would eat in the wild: basically, raw meat, uncooked bones, and pulverized vegetables and fruit. Among their concerns are the risk of bacterial contamination, dietary imbalances, and internal injury from inadequately chewed bones. It also is argued that wolves and dogs that live in the wild, have a life span that is half of the time that our domestic pets enjoy. Dr. Carla Case McCorvey of Case Veterinary Hospital here in Savannah is certainly concerned about what she terms “jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire”. “I see clients who initially begin giving a raw diet to their dog because of a recall of one of the commercially prepared foods, only to cause more harm by not serving a balanced diet which is nutritionally sound”, says Case-McCorvey. So, taking all the opinions out of the discussion, what can one conclude about the benefits or risks of feeding a raw diet to their pet?

Known risks include: • Splintering bone fragments that can cause choking or lodging as a foreign body • Salmonella risks to both the food handler and the pet • Nutritional balance is a huge concern: Not having an adequate calcium source, for example, can leave a dog at risk for severe orthopedic problems. On the other hand, Blue Dog Food diets were recalled for having toxic amounts of vitamin D. Most of the diets do not meet AAFCO (American Association of Feed Control Officials) standards for being complete and balanced. • One of the biggest drawbacks to raw feeding is cost. If you do it right, but don’t have affordable meat sources, feeding your dog can be as costly as feeding yourself. • Veterinarians report weight loss as the body does not always absorb the food appropriately or the client feeds inappropriate quantities. • Zoonotic risks to the humans in the household (and veterinary staff) from the shedding of bacteria, parasites, and other organisms. Up to 25% of raw meats for human consumption test positive for Salmonella. Even higher risks for lower quality meats. • Both homemade and store bought raw diets have not had feeding trials as do most of the commercially sold diets. • Time consuming for owners to make themselves. • Sources on the internet are not always reliable.

Benefits May Include: • Since some nutrients are eliminated during cooking, nutrients are purer. • Lessened risk of having ingredients recalled as the preparer controls where purchased • Dogs tend to love the diet and accept it with ease • Smaller stools • No preservatives which can cause allergies • Cleaner teeth as more chewing is necessary • Pets eat slower since there is more chewing which helps with digestion

Granted, raw food diets may be nutritionally superior to some commercially processed foods. Those would be the poor quality foods that have not gone through feeding trials, use lower grade ingredients, and have high cereal contents. If you decide to start using a raw food diet, here is some advice. Only use meat that is suitable for human consumption, keep raw meat frozen until you need it, handle raw meat with care, wash your hands thoroughly, discard any uneaten raw meat promptly that your pet doesn’t eat, and clean and disinfect your pet’s food bowl frequently. It would be prudent to choose a recipe or pre- packaged product from a reputable source. Most of us are not nutritionists. Be sure and let your veterinarian know that you are feeding a raw diet so they can take appropriate measures to ensure your pet gets optimal care. It is always prudent to inform your veterinarian your pet’s diet regardless of what you are feeding.

Pet owners who choose to go the route of a raw diet or who investigate alternate food choices for their pets are motivated to do so out of love and concern for their pets. It is difficult to filter through suggestions for our own food choices much less for those for our pets. Talk to your veterinarian and listen to his/her suggestions. Become well read on the topic and analyze your results. Do your own pros and cons list with your specific concerns and your pet’s specific health risks, age, energy needs, etc. Once you make your decision, keep a diary and observe changes in your pet, whether it be positive or negative.As pet advocates, it is certainly commendable that owners like you are proactive in wanting the best for your dog.

Go. Sit. Stay.

When you go out for a bite to eat or to grab a drink with friends, what do you think your pet does? Does he mope around waiting patiently for you to return? Sleep on your bed? Chew up your couch cushions? If he’s a dog, probably one of those three things. If he’s a cat, he’s probably already mad at you for something and glad you’re gone anyway. Next time, instead of leaving Fido to his own devices, hook him up to his leash and enjoy one or several of the dog-friendly places the Savannah area has to offer together. Here are 26 of them to get you started. Go. Sit. Stay.

One of the most up and coming neighborhoods in Savannah, referred to by some as S.O.F.O (South of Forsyth), is burgeoning with new life and offerings. A new “Tastery” by the name of FORM, is a cornerstone of that upward momentum. The name is as unassuming as the storefront. A modest and intimate place, set inside an old bank building on Habersham. The old bank vault has been turned into a “Value Wine Vault”, stocked wall to wall with affordable and carefully selected wines. Where in the past people would have put their money into it - now customers are saving their cash instead. For those with a bit more in the bank, Claude Auerback, the resident wine aficionado, is always available to guide patrons to some of the more discerning labels and help with the process of finding that perfect pairing. But the wine is only half the store. As you enter the door, directly to the right is a foodie’s paradise. The deli counter is busting at the seams with gourmet meats, cheeses, and sides.The board overhead lists all of the latest creations that executive chef Chris Russell has dreamed up, and he is always there, happy to give you a taste. While the selection is definably “Gourmet”, the atmosphere and menu still keep it accessible.

“You don’t need fussy food”, says Chef Russell. He tries to get the most out of a limited number of ingredients, appreciating and utilizing their nuances like a finely trained Japanese chef, creating fresh combinations. “My cooking is like an improv musician, doing it by feel.” The team also includes Brian Torres, a familiar face in the local restaurant scene, and Jimmy Kleinschimidt, the fourth partner in this veritable dream team. Each is their own master, with over 95 years of combined experience between them. They have paid their dues and worked their way to where they are now. And what a grand place to be- with each member of the team armed with the knowledge and freedom to express themselves through their individual fields of expertise. These four guys are a perfect representation of “the changing of the guard” that is happening throughout the city. It’s a fresh progressive take on the restaurant business, and part of the newly emerging Savannah metropolitan scene that caters to a more informed and cosmopolitan crowd. FORM is a taste of the finer things in life, without all the pretention and circumstance. It’s about giving the public the best of what’s out there, in an approachable and laid back setting True to Savannah style.

Social 21

Sc ience 201,011

Well FED headed out to Tybee and met with one of Savannah and The Islands’ most popular mad scientists of spirits. Breigh can sometimes be spotted on either side of the bar, in and around town, and this time we caught her behind the bar of Tybee Social. So we picked her mind to find out what makes her tick …and to steal yet another recipe for our thirsty readers.

WF: Please tell us a bit about yourself. My life is enriched with a lot of laughter and love. I am adventurous and spontaneous and love the outdoors. I am a Savannah native and have worked all over the city. I have been studying at Armstrong University in the science fields and was enrolled to study Biology, but discovered that I didn’t enjoy the field of medicine and changed my major to Dental. I then discovered that I didn’t enjoy that either. So, I sat down one day in the library and figured out that my true passion has been wine and food. Luckily, I was already working in the service industry and knew exactly what I wanted. I changed my major again and I am currently working towards my bachelor in Chemistry. I would like to move to Spain after graduation and work on a vineyard only to submerge myself deeper into the world of wine. WF: What are some of the best things about your job? The freedom of creating exciting and original beverages for all to enjoy. I love being able to take some fresh herbs, a homemade simple syrup, maybe a bitters, and fresh fruits to produce a refreshing and unique beverage with or without alcohol for anyone to enjoy. WF: What are some of the worst? I would have to say the persnickety people. I will say nothing else. WF: What’s your favorite drink? Champagne, or as I call it, BUBBLES! 70

Well FED

WF: Favorite place to drink/eat out? My place is Noble Fare. Patrick & Jenny just keep it simple yet exciting. I LOVE that place. WF: What is one of the most difficult or craziest drinks you have ever had to prepare? A 30 year old, single malt Scotch & milk.... GROSS! WF: So let’s say your bar is packed and I’m trying to get a drink- what’s the best way to get your attention? Be patient if the bar is packed and understand that you are, obviously, not the only one that wants something to drink/eat. It’s always good to remember manners, smile and make eye contact and you’re almost guaranteed to get my attention. WF: What is one of the worst ways? Beating your hand on the bar acting as if I am totally ignorant to the fact that I am there to service your beverage needs. I know you want a drink, that’s why I am a bartender! DUH!! WF: This is your chance to tell the entire city -one thing- , so what do you want to say to them: Be patient & be kind. Have a drink and unwind, preferably with me!

Breigh’s Drink Recipe:

The Scientist ½ oz. Rosemary Simple Syrup 1 ½ oz. Bluecoat Gin 1oz. Chase Elderflower Liqueur 1 Lemon Wedge squeezed 1 Lime Wedge squeezed Stir with a spoon (do not shake). Garnish with a fresh sprig of Rosemary. v

Enjoy!

“Champagne is on the verge of profound change. There is a growing realization in the region that its viticulture has become slovenly and the subtleties of its terroir have been neglected. The era of great growers and great vineyards is just beginning.” —The New France, Andrew Jefford, 2002

As we tear November’s page from the calendar, December and the coming New Year come into focus and awaken the expectation of celebration and an excitement for the holidays. Parties, friendly gatherings, dinners and social galas fill our coming weeks. Whether it’s our part to plan the main course or participate in the bringing delicate foods and drinks, we find ourselves in a query of, what to drink? What to bring? Traditionally, articles and television segments of popular shows suggested simple reds, fun whites or great dessert wines. Champagne was conventionally set apart for the hallowed New Year’s Eve toast. Today, champagne is no longer solely raised in glasses at the stroke of midnight welcoming the New Year. It is embraced and enjoyed as a part of everyday living. A new movement, which isn’t so new to us wine geeks, is the Farmer Fizz. It is a champagne that is bringing excitement to the everyday enjoyment of bubbles that is near and dear to my heart and my palate; Grower’s Champagne. The Grower’s Champagne movement answers the question for the farmers who don’t participate in world-wide advertising campaigns or the over 72

selling of brand names, yet long to stay true to a product that is created for the palate and everyday enjoyment. These communities believe in growing the best quality of grapes with love and passion. These are families and small town communities who are driven to produce the highest quality of wine possible. They practice the art of winemaking for the love of the product, not to compete for scores and ratings. We’re familiar with the bright yellow label, the images of hand painted flowers, or the difficult-to-remove foil from the higher end, pricey bubbly. And, if we’re honest, we find ourselves looking for discounts where those big hitters are concerned; coming up empty handed. I find it challenging when the Moet family produces over 2 million cases a year, Vueve Cliquot produces nearly 1.2 million this past year and the quiet but over-produced Perrier-Joet, prices continue to increase—never on sale and not affordable. I’m a little bit of a rebel when it comes to the mainstream, must-have-status bubbles in my support of the farmer’s fizz. I am comfortable and confident in supporting a movement, which is working hard to re-define itself in the eyes of the world. If we celebrate and support the local, hard working farmers and yet, quietly sip on the over-priced bubbly behind close doors, we owe it to the real people who pride themselves on nurturing and bottling from better growing grounds; farmers and not high-end brand names, to try it out!

One, Grower Champagne in particular, is Gaston Chiquet {She KAY} Premier Cru “Tradition” Brut NV. This champagne is made of up 45% Pinot Meunier, 35% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from premier & grand cru vineyards from villages of Ay, Dizy and Hautrillers. The early morning scents of a bakery’s first hours –doughy aromas and home made apple tart with the sweetness of crème freche, is the fragrance of this medium to full bodied sparkling. With tasting, beautiful acids awaken the palate and taste of fresh picked Granny Smith apples. Experiencing the outstanding sensation of this farmer’s fizz is mindboggling. This is world-class quality wine at a fraction of the price of the name-brand champagnes. Just the other day, I received an email and to my surprise, Circa 1875 paid tribute to the great celebration of Grower Champagne with the help of Christian Depken of Le Chai. Christian has been a firm believer of smaller produced handcrafted wines and an intimate wine experience. Le Chai is located in the heart of Starland Design District. Christian’s love for Grower champagne is deep, and more importantly, is shared among other liked minded providers. Christian can be reached via email at: wines@lechai.com.

Drink Savannah!

Drink Savannah! While I am certainly no bona fide expert, I would say that it has taken decades of international field research, serious dedication, and much trial and error to hone an appreciation for—and an understanding of—the art of mixology. Perhaps it could even be argued that there exists a genetic compulsion as well, seeing as my great ancestors were reputed for keeping themselves regularly “in one’s cups” (that’s the English side) and most likely opted for vodka for breakfast in lieu of solid food (that would be the Russian side).

S a b in a C u sh in g takes no some of thetemof spirited potati ost o in town…. ns

From the very time we, as kids, raided the liquor cabinet and stealthily created our first ‘cocktail’ of rotgut scotch, vermouth, and gin (creating something that tasted not unlike burning plastic), I have learned respect for a craft that obviously demanded more attention and subtlety than a 13-year-old could afford. Fortunately for us, the evolution of the cocktail has made a turn toward the more sophisticated. Recently, we have seen a return to the classics and a new emphasis on the fresh, the organic, and the local— where one’s choices are limited only by the bounds of the bar chef’s imagination and the contents of her liquor shelf. Here in Savannah, a small handful of venues have caught on, offering drink lists worthy of our rapidly increasing international clientele and their more worldly palates. I humbly offer you my picks for some of the best I’ve found this season in an ongoing research effort that hopefully will enlighten both our locals and visitors alike. (And, yes, I have shamelessly included a concoction of my own!) So go forth, drink Savannah (in moderation, of course), and, remember, ‘Tipping’ is not a city in China….

Caipirinha

Rocks on the Roof, Bohemian Hotel In my opinion, the Caipirinha (Brazil’s national drink) should be a part of everyone’s repertoire: A generous 2-ounce pour of Cachaça (rum aged in fine Cognac casks and the third most-consumed liquor in the world) is muddled with limes and sugar and served over ice. Yet, while this elixir remains elusive, it can be found downtown at this hip hotel, where it is preferably sipped slowly, as one gazes out across the Savannah River from the 9th-floor rooftop patio on a crisp, fall day. Saúde!

Fresh Strawberry Lemon Drop The Olde Pink House

Cucumber Martini Cha Bella

OK, so everyone is doing a cucumber-something-orother these days—and not without good reason…. this versatile vegetable is probably the most popular additive to come along in Cocktail Postmodernism since the resurgence of the muddled mint leaf. Correct me then if I am mistaken, but I don’t think anyone is juicing an entire cucumber into the glass, save for medal-winner Marlon Morgan, who can also be found juicing various other things from the days’ bounty of Cha Bella’s working local farm, Avondale. What’s more, there is an ever-expanding repertoire of organic alcohols to choose from!

The 1927 Old-Fashioned Sugar Daddy’s

Chad Lyon put it in print at Sugar Daddy’s wine bar, but I believe our friend Harold came up with the recipe for this twist on an American classic, which usually calls for a Bourbon, sugar, (Angostura) bitters, soda water, and a muddled ‘flag’ (orange-cherry garnish). Now, while I am not generally a whiskey drinker, I couldn’t get enough of this particular rendering, which adds Alvear Solera 1927 Pe d ro J i m e n e z Sherry (a Spanish dessert wine actually containing portions of vintages dating back to 1927) and Fee Bros. cherry bitters. And, voila, a bourbon drink that the whole family can enjoy!

This simple but charming ‘martini’ is one of several unlisted go-to drinks from my own arsenal. I’ll admit I continue to push this one even as local berries fall out of season, just because it is so darn tasty. It calls for four good strawberries muddled with fresh lime juice, lemon juice, and sugar (i.e. fresh sour mix) and shaken with a citrus-based vodka of one’s choosing. Mixed properly, they can vanish quickly….you have been warned!

Fresh Apple Martini Bonefish Grill

Herein lies the cocktail revolution embodied: take the Appletini that we have all gotten used— the one with the bright g re e n c o r n s y r u p and the red dye #4 ‘cherry’—and compare it to this version, which makes use of real apples….they are, in fact, marinating for about 2 days in vodka, with actual cinnamon, which is then strained off and shaken with honey, fresh sours (lime and lemon juice sweetened with sugar), and apple juice.The perfect holiday libation.

S. Cushing can be found muddling strawberries at the Old Pink House Tavern and is currently offering her services for complimentary on-site cocktail testing and analysis.

Our vision is a paper production and consumption economy that repairs, rather than damages, our environment while creating sustainable jobs for the community. Our mission is to foster collaboration among paper manufacturers, merchants, publishers, nonprofits and consumers to achieve our vision and encourage the production of socially and environmentally responsible paper - Better Paper.

What makes Better Paper better? Better Paper refers to paper with a cleaner, greener, more efficient paper production process at every stage including pulping, paper-making, printing, distribution and recycling. Why do our paper choices matter? Forests are one of our most treasured resources, but they are disappearing at the rate of 20 football fields per second because of pulp and paper production. Nearly 50% of all trees harvested in North America are turned into some type of paper product. Global production in the pulp, paper and publishing sector is expected to increase by 77% from 1995 to 2020, so we must act now to preserve our forests. Using post-consumer recycled paper reduces the need to log forests.Additionally, the paper industry consumes much more than just our forests. Producing paper from virgin fiber is both energy and water intensive, and releases significant amounts of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. Using recycled paper is the most important step in reducing a magazine’s ecological footprint. Paper accounts for approximately 40% of the solid waste clogging up U.S. landfills, and while recycling has increased in years past, recovered printing and writing grades of paper remain extremely low. How is chlorine used in the production process? Is it necessary? In order to make paper “brighter,” wood fibers are often bleached with chlorine or chlorine compounds. When these bleaching agents are combined with organic matter such as wood fibers, one byproduct is dioxin, a known human carcinogen. According to the EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory report, paper production is a leading industrial source of dioxin. In the paper bleaching process, dioxin finds its way into the environment, contaminating water, soil, and our food supply. Dioxin bio-accumulates in the fat of fish, seabirds, and mammals, and it has been associated with cancers, lymphomas, diabetes, immune system disorders, and birth defects. Can Better Paper use coatings, or is that a no-no? As a visual medium, it goes without saying that a magazine’s look is an important selling point. For most magazine publishers achieving the desired look means using a coated paper. However, coatings introduce a specific set of environmental concerns, particularly as they complicate the recycling process. When magazines are discarded for recycling, the clay and final sealant coatings act as contaminants in the recycling process and must be fully separated from the paper. Complete separation is not always easy, and failing to remove coatings from the mix results in the production of low grade recycled paper. A final sealing coat adds an additional level of contaminants that must be removed during recycling. Sealants often contain polymers (plastic-type substances), which are even more difficult to separate from paper. This final coating is also potentially harmful to the environment, as its application can result in the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are suspected carcinogens and contributors to ozone depletion. Are there Better Inks we should consider using with our Better Paper? The scope of the publishing industry’s ecological footprint is not limited to paper use. Standard printing inks often contain harmful agents that contaminate the environment and compromise human health. While most inks are still petroleum-based, some ink manufacturers now substitute renewable and biodegradable resources (such as soy, linseed, and corn oils) for most or all of the petroleum.Vegetable oil replacement ink meets the same specifications as petroleum-based ink, and it does not release a significant volume of VOCs into the air when it dries. Agri-based inks are produced without toxins and biodegrade, effectively eliminating environmental, health and safety hazards.
