BE A BIT FUSSY: MAKE YOUR EVERY DAY SPECIAL It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle of just getting it all done, but slowing down and making an event of something ordinary is worth your time. Take the opportunity to use the nice plates, glass and silverware. Spread out a tablecloth. Play music. Make a toast at dinner. Light a candle. You don’t have to do all these things, but being a little bit fussy can lead to dinner being something the whole family looks forward to every night. Even just a tiny gesture can go a long way for you and your family’s morale. COVID 19 AND TIPS FOR BREAKFAST AND LUNCH The COVID-19 pandemic has launched us into a new reality—one that may involve working in makeshift home offices, educating children attending virtual school, and, in a lot of cases, doing both. Certainly, we are spending a lot more time in our homes, and that includes preparing and eating most of our meals. Even though we are home more, the demands on our time have been amplified by “having to do it all”. The Dinner Daily has got you covered for dinner. However, it can be incredibly overwhelming to figure out healthy and easy breakfasts, lunch and snacks on top of everything else we must do. Fortunately, with an eye focused on simplicity, we don’t have to compromise on providing healthy meals for our families even through these difficult and unprecedented times. COOK IN BULK AHEAD OF TIME • Roast extra vegetables (like onions, bell peppers, • Wash and cut fruit 3 days in advance for easy potatoes) on a sheet tray while you cook dinner. snacking for kids.

Tip: if you don’t have the other ingredients, salad, sandwich. take a look at our Ingredient Substitution Guide (included below) to help complete the recipe. TIPS FOR STORING FRESH PRODUCE IF IT HAS BEEN PREPPED OR CHOPPED IN ADVANCE, THEN REFRIGERATE If you are prepping in advance, then wash, cut, and store your produce in a sealed container lined with a damp, but not wet paper towel. Use within 3 days. IF IT IS LEAFY, THEN REFRIGERATE • Leafy greens and herbs are delicate and wilt quickly without some moisture. That’s why grocery stores often use open refrigerators with overhead sprayers that mist them periodically. You can recreate this by first gently washing and drying your greens. Then store them in the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp paper towel that is then placed inside a sealed container or resealable plastic bag. If you are going to use your greens within the next 2 days, you can skip this process, but keep them in their plastic bag in the crisper drawer. • Basil is an exception, store it at room temperature with its stems in a glass of water. IN GENERAL, KEEP FRUITS AND VEGETABLES SEPARATE FROM ONE ANOTHER • Many fruits (especially bananas, apples, melons, pears and peaches) release a gas called ethylene which hasten the ripening and eventual rot of other produce. So keep your fruits separate from your vegetables (which tend to be ethylene sensitive). You may even want to keep the aforementioned super ethylene producers away from each other, unless you are using them to help ripen other fruits. • Avoid mixing your fruit in a bowl. Store on an open platter to provide circulation. By keeping things separated you can easily monitor what is in your inventory and use them before they spoil. REFRIGERATION SLOWS DOWN THE RIPENING PROCESS If fruit is unripe, don’t refrigerate. However, once ripe you can refrigerate if not eating it right away FRUITS TO ALWAYS REFRIGERATE • Berries are very delicate. Use them right away or • Apples will keep their crunchiness in the crisper keep them in the refrigerator and consume them longer. If left out, they produce a mealy texture. within the next 2 days. You can extend their life by removing them from their package, washing them and laying them in a single layer on a tray or plate lined with paper towel. PRODUCE STORAGE CHEAT SHEET STORAGE METHOD TYPES OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Store at room temperature unripe bananas (kept away from other produce), basil (with stems in a cup of water), cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, onions, potatoes including sweet (in a dry and cool cabinet), shallots, watermelon, winter squash (butternut, spaghetti), zucchini, tomatoes Store at room temperature until avocados, mangoes, pineapple, bananas, apricots, kiwis, ripe, then chill in refrigerator peaches, pears, plums Store in the refrigerator apples, asparagus, beets, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cherries, cilantro, corn (in the husk), chives, leafy greens, grapes, green beans, leeks, lemons, lettuce, limes, mushrooms (in a paper bag), parsley, raspberries, strawberries, summer squash, thyme, rosemary OUR FAVORITE KITCHEN TOOLS Cooking can definitely be a labor of love – when done right.

  • The Gendered Feast: Experiencing a Georgian Supra Laura Joy Linderman
    The Gendered Feast: Experiencing a Georgian Supra Laura Joy Linderman Abstract: The supra is a traditionalized feast in post-Soviet Georgia characterized by abundant food and ritualized drinking. It is extremely common in social life, especially in rural Georgia. Secular rituals, social occasions, national and religious holidays and life cycle transitions are accompanied by the ubiquitous supra. The supra has been examined by anthropologists as a site for macro level analyses that put forward structural or cultural theories for the underlying meaning of this ritual-for-all-occasions. Women’s experiences of and roles in the supra have often been overlooked or misrepresented in these studies. In this thesis I investigate women’s varied roles at a supra and problematize the idea that the supra demonstrates a model of society, with a paragon of masculinity at the center. I question the static image of an idealized supra that is only capable of reproducing a particular cultural model and argue that the supra is flexibly employed with a great deal of social life being oriented around preparing and participating in supras. Women’s experiences of the supra (like men’s) is different depending on the type of supra, the other participants involved, the age of the woman, her class and her particular geographical location. Keywords: post-Soviet, Georgia (Republic), cultural anthropology, feast, banquet, ritual, gender Introduction The supra was the worst and best experience I had in Georgia. Georgians have supras about 3 times a week to celebrate different things, whether it be a wedding, holiday, etc. In this case, the supra was for us.

  • HOWZAT! the Rotary Club of Newlands the Club That Appeals
    Issue No 6 / 2020-21 August 16th, 2020 HOWZAT! The Rotary Club of Newlands The Club that Appeals PRESIDENT JENNY IBBOTSON Editor Janey Ball Email [email protected] Website www.newlands.org.za Facebook www.facebook.com/NewlandsRotary Apologies before 10:00 on a Monday to Heidi Andersson, please. COMMENT: DRINKING A TOAST RI (Henry Campbell) Weekly, a Rotarian proposes a toast to RI and South Africa. Rotarians grab a glass, lift it and say “To RI “. Some take a sip. Others may waive a hand in recognition. Altogether quite haphazard! Why do we do this? The Rotary Handbook makes no mention of it yet it seems that it is on the Agenda of all Clubs’ meetings. Research shows that a toast is a ritual in which a drink is taken as an expression of honour or goodwill. While the physical and verbal ritual of the toast may be elaborate and formal, merely raising one's glass is essentially a toast as well, the message being one of goodwill towards the person or thing indicated. The International Handbook on Alcohol and Culture says toasting "is probably a secular vestige of ancient sacrificial libations (the act of pouring ) in which a sacred liquid was offered to the gods: blood or wine in exchange for a wish, a prayer summarized in the words 'long life!' or 'to your health!'" Should we be practising a custom which is rooted in paganism? Toast in its "drinking" senses originates in the practice of immersing browned or charred spiced bread in a drink, and after wishes of goodwill or celebration, the cups of wine, ale, etc., are clinked together in recognition or acknowledgment and are then subsequently sipped, or pounded (depending on the drinker).

She had gone to him to get help with the red insect bites all over her hands. When the kettle whistled, he stood to turn the fire off. Helen thought he had looked closer at the stains on his white coffee mug than he had the spots on her hands. He filled two cups, one for him, and he set the other down in front of Helen. It hurt too much for her to pick the mug up. Dr. Bill McFarland took a sip and cringed. "Hot?" Helen smiled. "It's right off the stove." He set the mug down. "Let me see the hands again." She snapped them shut and they felt clammy. The spots embarrassed her. She extended her hands over the table, spread her fingers, and he turned her hand around.

  • THE CLASS.Fdr
    Entre les Murs (The Class) Written by Laurent Cantet, Robin Campillo and François Bégaudeau Based on the novel "Entre les murs" by François Bégaudeau published by Verticales, 2006 Directed par Laurent Cantet Developed with the backing of the Centre National de la Cinématographie, the Procirep and the European Union's Media Programme INT. CAFÉ - DAY The first morning of the new school year. In a Paris café, leaning on the bar, FRANÇOIS, 35 or so, peacefully sips coffee. In the background, we can vaguely make out a conversation about the results of the presidential election. François looks at his watch and seems to take a deep breath as if stepping onto a stage. EXT. STREET - DAY François comes out of the café. Across the street, we discover a large building whose slightly outdated façade is not particularly welcoming. He walks over to the imposing entrance that bears the shield of the City of Paris in wrought iron and beneath which we read “JAURES MIDDLE SCHOOL”. On the opposite sidewalk, coming from the other end of the street, a small group of teachers hurries towards the entrance. François hears them joking. VINCENT He’s a really great guy, not the back- slapping type but… François greets them in passing. INT. CORRIDORS - SCHOOL - DAY We discover the school’s deserted corridors. Through the doorway of a classroom, François sees a few cleaners who, in a very calm atmosphere, clean the tables and line them up neatly, wash the windows… A short distance further on, a man in overalls applies one last coat of paint to an administrative notice board.

  • Rakel Stammer“GRIEF”
    GRIEF I I want to say something about grief. In many ways I feel familiar with grief. The grief of my mother that turned her feral - leaving her on a wooden pallet, drunk behind her house, freezing to death. Grief of my grandmother, grief of her sisters. Grief of Marie, a scream ripping through the dark night as she learned her cousin had committed suicide. Distant. I already knew. We already knew. Grief has a sound, you will make a sound as you are ripped from the arms of who you used to be, and as you are birthed into the world, again. The grief of Marie, her mother dying. "Rakel you have to come now, she's dying". "Come now, they are dying". There were years of hearing that message over and over. It became a drill. The phone call. Move. Now. They are dying. Release, everything. "There is no order here and nothing can be planned". I looked at my friend, and I knew grief is something that stays and it will make a home in you, and you will be communing with something else. We were so young. I felt I could do nothing. You will carry an ever changing wound and you will have to choose. It is a call to live or one to die with those you already lost. I want you to know that grief becomes an intimate friend. It becomes a breast from which you drink the milk of life. It comes and gives you purpose, for there must be purpose to loss if we are to live with grief.
