Weekday Vegetarian: A Little Advance Planning to Make an Eggplant Torta

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo: Kelly Rossiter I arrived home from my cottage last week to find a rather large number of eggplant ready for harvest.I was quite happy with the harvest we had throughout August, and I thought we were more or less done with them. I was a bit surprised to find 5 or 6 ready to eat with another 4 or 5 at a smaller stage and a number of flowers.

Posted on September 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo Credit: Beth Young, via The Nature Conservancy It’s called the 100-1000 partnership — 100 miles of new oyster reefs and 1,000 miles of re-planted marshlands in coastal Alabama, thanks to a coalition of non-profits, including Alabama Coastal Foundation, Mobile Baykeeper, The Nature Conservancy and The Ocean Foundation. Because of the damage done to marshlands, oyster reef habitats and seagrass beds through human activities — the most recent of which is of course the Gulf oil disaster — fisheries have suffered.
