When buying farmed salmon, make sure it’s from the Northern Hemisphere, not the Southern Hemisphere, like Chile.

"While in 2024, Norway declared that it had used virtually no antibiotics in its farms, Chilean farms used more than 351 tonnes.

Happy thanksgiving 🍁

The Blogs: Give Thanksgiving a Jewish Twist with Pumpkin Challah From the blog of Faith Kramer at The Times of Israel

Pumpkin challah (savory or sweet) for Thanksgiving. From my @timesofisrael.com blog post for @hadassahorg.bsky.social blogs.timesofisrael.com/give-thanksg...

They are such a jewel of a fruit. Here are ones I saw today in Portugal growing by the walls of a 12th century castle. My Pom pix are from all over the world

Pomegranates from around the world in stores and growing on tree plus slice of pomegranate meringue pie

It’s National Pomegranate Month and the “official” (well for me anyway) celebratory dessert is this pomegranate meringue pie from my @jewishsf.bsky.social recipe archives. jweekly.com/2020/06/19/a...

I so love

This sign in Marbella, Spain, made my day.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Make your own great pumpkin … challah

Shape into round after first rise, oil & loosely tie string to resemble pumpkin sections. Place in oiled 10-inch pie tin. Let rise. Add paprika or turmeric to yolks for wash. Brush on & bake in tin. Remove string. Add a real pumpkin stem or a cinnamon stick.

It will be published in January on @jewishsf.bsky.social and I will post the link. Here’s a look inside

This is a new updated version. The first one was good. I am hoping this one will be great!

Experienced this on a cruise ship. It’s cute. A few minutes of amusement as a way to eat dinner. Maybe better as an art installation

Recipe testing a crunchy, creamy, chocolatey shredded phyllo pastry for an upcoming @jewishsf.bsky.social recipe column. It’s filled with pistachios and coconut-hazelnut cream and has a spiced sugar syrup. A very special (and easy) dessert

My son met his wife hiking it!

What you wrote was fascinating. I don’t know if there is a link, or just parallel lines of development, but as a recipe/food writer I sometimes use pumpkin pie spice as a sub for harder to find spice mixes (sometimes with other spices) for the chai and coffee seasonings and similar mixes.

I’ve always thought the spice mix was similar to Indian chai masala mix for tea and Yemen hawaij for coffee and other regional hot drink spice mixes. All of which predate pumpkin spice lattes but confirm that the flavor profile has legs!

Reading one of his poems was a nightly bedtime ritual in our house.

Unusually for me I answered a call from an unknown number. Turned out to be “the leading conservative think tank” to quote my spammer who was calling a lifelong democrat and diehard liberal looking for donations. Requested my number struck from the list and wished him a “happy no kings day.”

Totally agree with @nrlines.bsky.social about @koshersoul.bsky.social He is a national treasure!

“Pro-life” party did this

Mine would be none of the above. I’m strawberry rhubarb or nothing

Have you heard the disgusting pro ice raid commercials the department of homeland security is doing on Spotify. Officially paid by them. How is this legal?
