Old99Farm Market:  Post-Doom, No Gloom big picture on Climate Crisis

It’s really not a climate crisis, it’s an overshoot and bottleneck predicament facing the human race.
If you’re looking for some perspective on this, (60% of American youth are distressed by it) look no further.

Michael Dowd* will be delivering a live Zoom presentation this Wednesday, May 3rd at 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm EDT for the Canadian Association for the Club of Rome (CACOR): https://canadiancor.com/

All are welcome to join!

Here’s the info and Zoom link…

Topic: The Big Picture: Beyond Hope and Fear – with Michael Dowd

Date and Time: Wednesday, May 3, 2023 1:30pm EDT / 10:30am PDT

Join Zoom Meeting
Meeting ID: 893 5478 3674
Passcode: 543421

Summary:

No one needs convincing that we are living in an age of chaos and breakdowns. Even those without an ecological understanding of history feel the stress. How do we cope? How can we escape the seesaw of hope and fear? And, crucially, how can we be of support to others who are confused, angry, depressed, or filled with fear, blame, or guilt?

*Dowd is an American progressive Christian minister, author, and eco-theologian known as an advocate of Big History, religious naturalism, sustainability, climate activism, and the epic of evolution.[wikipedia]
I know him personally and applaud his attempt to get people of any faith/nonfaith tradition to wake up to our global predicament.

NashPhilly: Find our new items in Cold Salads and Dips we have a new salad this week: A much different take on a potato salad but I am sure it will not disappoint you in the least bit. I render most of the bacon fat first, then add onions, garlic, pepperoncinis and red bell peppers. Once they are slightly cooked, deglaze the pan with red wine vinegar. And the final step, toss the potatoes in the pan and finish with some fresh parsley and thyme.

It’s light, slightly sour and spicy, very filling, and fresh. Great for these hot summer days ahead of us. Perfect for a backyard bbq. One order of this will certainly be able to feed a few people very well.

Ingredients: Russet potatoes, bacon, onions, pepperoncinis, red bell peppers, parsley, thyme, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, black pepper and Himalayan sea salt.

It is recommended to heat this up slightly or to serve it at room temperature. If its right out of the refrigerator
the bacon fat may be coagulated, might not be as good is all.

Italian Stuffed Flank Steak available this week. A 1 lbs 10 oz flank steak that is seasoned generously with thyme, oregano, rosemary, Himalayan sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. That is layered with boursin garlic, shallot and herbed cheese, sweet and tangy sun dried tomatoes, and spinach. I roll this meaty stuffed flank log and roast it for 45 minutes @ 400 degrees. In the picture taken I was able to cut 6 fat pieces from this when it was finished. This will feed two people very happily with two pieces for leftovers another day. When you order this dish it will come as it is from the oven at a doneness of a medium/ medium well It will also not be cut into slices. Ingredients: Flank steak, boursin garlic, shallot and herbed cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, thyme, oregano, rosemary, Himalayan sea salt and black pepper. Reheat Instructions: Preheat Oven to 350 degrees f. Cut from steak log to desired thickness. Place steak slices into pan cover with foil. Cook for 7-10mins or until hot.
Several popular items still available: Beef & Cheese Lasagna, Family or Single Portion, Broccoli Cheddar Cheese Soup, Brussell Sprouts with Carmalized Onions & Bacon, Cajun Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Marsala, Gluten Free Italian Pasta Salad, Gnocchi with Alfredo Sauce, Gnoochi with Roasted Garlic Mainara Sauce, Mash Potatoes with Sour Cream & Green Onions, Minestrone Vegetable Soup, New England Clam Chowder, Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich, Spicy Baked Chicken Penna Pasta in Family or Single Portion.
