Did I get to go to an heirloom bean festival and chat with the charming bean man Steve Sando ? Yes. Did I get to play bean bingo at a drag brunch? You bet. Did I succeed in creating an episode that can help more people fall in love with beans? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. 🫘❤️

A new episode at a time when it’s extremely important to acknowledge the immigrant workers who are the backbone of our food system. I hope you’ll give it a listen.

Two articles open in my browser, both include food heists: one is eggs, the other olive oil and together they tell the story of our climate/pandemic food future.

It’s now law in NYC to put organic scraps in the curbside bins. Seemed like a good time to try out one of the food recyclers on the market (I tried Mill). Here are my thoughts.

This piece is classic @lisaelaineh.bsky.social - such a clear and excellent breakdown of the recent history of the guidelines and where the current conversation veers from truth/reality (and where it doesn’t).

You are the best because common sense always prevails 🤩
