fishermen plan shrimp CSF this winter

Seacoast residents will soon be able to fill their freezers with fresh, locally harvested shrimp. The Yankee Fisherman’s Cooperative recently announced that it will offer a “community supported fishery” option for northern shrimp this winter.

The CSF is based on the same concept as community supported agriculture. Subscribers pay in advance and become shareholders in the catch.

The eight-week shrimp subscription will encompass January and February 2010. Full shares are $128 and include 10 pounds of shrimp per week, which equates to $1.60 per pound for the full two months. Half shares are $72 and include five pounds per week, or $1.80 per pound.

The Co-op is gauging interest in the CSF and determining pickup locations for the winter. Those interested should visit blog.seacoasteatlocal.org and click on the link to fill out a form.

China Cola | Print |  E-mail

Reed's, Inc.

How can you not immediately fall for a beverage that lists Szechuan Peony Root as its third ingredient? Cassia Bark, Raw Cane Sugar, Nutmeg, Oils of Lemon, Cloves, oo la la! It is, in fact, written into our charter here at the Small Foods Laboratories to consume all the Szechuan Peony Root-based snacks we can.

After the initial thrill of discovery, though, reality sets back in. China Cola is a bit flat and a bit heavy, more like a thin ginger beer than a cola. It’s not bad, but it’s not delicious either, not tremendously fun. It’s a solid, healthy cola alternative (with Szechuan Peony Root!) for those who prefer to drink their sodas from the strange springs along the road less traveled.

Taste of the Nation sets fundraising record in fight to end childhood hunger

When Bill Shore and his wife Debbie founded Share Our Strength in 1984, they knew success would hinge on their steadfast belief that everyone is capable of making a difference in the fight to end childhood hunger. 

Twenty-five years later, people around the nation continue to reaffirm that belief—including the 1,000 guests gathered on the lawn of Strawbery Banke Museum on the evening of June 24. The 15th annual Taste of the Nation Portsmouth raised more than $115,000 for the fight against hunger, a new record.

Chefs from 50-plus local restaurants prepared their finest delicacies, and 25 area brewers and wineries offered beverages. Diners assembled under a gigantic white tent and navigated rows of tables serving everything from Jumpin’ Jay’s raw oysters to The Press Room’s lobster stew to Fresh Local’s hotdog sliders. When everyone was sated, guests hit the dance floor and grooved to live music from Boston’s Soul City.

egg wrap - Ceres Bakery | Print |  E-mail
Written by staff   
Thursday, 25 June 2009

The Ceres Bakery egg wrap is the finest kind of fast food: fresh, delicious, and made from real stuff by real people. It changes from day to day, sometimes with more mushrooms, or broccoli, or red peppers, and some optional meats as well, but the heavenly simplicity of it is unwavering—eggy, cheesy goodness all wrapped up in a little breakfast football. Grab it and go long!

It may, in fact, be our ideal food.  It has no bones or gristle or other inedible parts; it’s soft, so you can eat it even if you don’t have teeth or are too lazy to eat chewy foods; it’s portable, so you can eat it as you walk; and to top it off, it has a very high cheese-to-mass ratio.
Breakfast-on-the-go, thy name is egg wrap!
