We take a deep dive into the topic of homemade popcorn. (Pretty please stop making the microwavable kind.)

Now that the Philly Farm & Food Fest is over, we talked over some of our favorite tastes of the day, including Jacob’s Raw Kraut and Soom Chocolate Tahini Spread.

Did you hear? According to the New York Times, the hippies have won the plate. (Marisa knew this all along.)

In our what’s for dinner segment this week, we are talking fritters.

We are both pretty excited about making shrubs, which are delicious drinking vinegars made from fruit, sugar and (of course) plenty of tart vinegar. Marisa has been making them for years and Joy has just gotten started. They are easy!

And speaking of all things hippie–Marisa has recently gotten back into the groove of sprouting lentils at home.

At the market this week, we’re stocking up on leeks.
