Bloomingdale Farmers Market: Who give a fig?

Who gives a Fig?  Garner!

 

Hi everyone,

Well, the fact that Americans can not go to France has one silver lining-- I can finally get some of Garner's figs.  Their figs have a short season and they have always come and gone while I was away. And Jeff and I are huge fig fans so this week I will get my fill of figs, if that is possible. In France we often eat them stuffed with goat cheese, raw.  Or quickly baked in the oven, often drizzled with honey on top of the stuffed figs. 

I like the look of Nigel Slater's  la Caramelized Figs with pistachio mint yogurt.  Here are some other ideas for drying, drowning them in spirits, grilling them.  I am particularly excited by this runny, melted, gooey and figgy Baked Feta and Figs appetizer using Swirly Girl Feta, of cofres, and Garner figs. 15 minutes to fig and feta heaven.  Click on the link and tell me you are not going to bake it Sunday.
 

At Market This Week:

Whisked says: It's back to school (at home). Prepare for success with Cookies and Pies.
Andre says: 6 Pack Cookies: Chocolate Chip, Salty Oatmeal, Molasses Spice, Hazelnut Swirl, Snickerdoodle, Pretzel Cowboy, Assorted, Flourless Mexican Chocolate (GF), VEGAN: Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Lemon Poppyseed, Chocolate Blackout.   

Prime Pie Time: Cherry, Apple Crumble, Salted Apple, Chocolate Chess, Strawberry Rhubarb, Key Lime..

 
Shenandoah Seasonal:  Sweet peppers and eggplants in abundance. Orange, yellow and red bells, sweet mini lunchboz and red roasters. Eggplants - little finger, large Italian and Asian. Heirloom tomatoes as well as classic slicers, tender Swiss chard, salad mix, summer crisp lettuce, bok choi, celery, beets, herbs. eggplants, zucchini, summer crisp lettuce, Hungarian hot wax peppers, shishito and mixed variety of bell peppers. Have you tried the Cocozelle Italian heirloom zucchini.  Nutty without many seeds. Basil, parsley, scallions and garlic. Stir fry the green and red yard-long beans!

Ali says: We have been stuffing our lunchbox and roasters with soft cheese and roating. Taste like candy.

 

Garners: Figs Figs Figs. New crop of Green and Flat Romano beans are at the stands this weekend.. Yay. Corn. Peppers in various shapes and heat and colors, eggplants. Okra. Swiss chard, citrusy purslane great with tomatoes, kales, various types of squash and zucchini, collard, tomatoes (early girls, cherry,  heirloom), loose onions, stir fry greens, Salad mix, lettuce mix, cabbages, cukes, garlic. Stone ground grits and cornmeal, hot pepper jelly.  Hot sauces. Some herb plants. blackberries. New potatoes.basil. Melons!

 

Cucina Al Volo: More than a dozen different freshly dried pasta, ravioli, and great sauces: pesto, lamb ragu, beef bolognese, cherry tomato, wild mushrooms, eggplant More than a dozen different freshly dried pasta, ravioli, and great sauces: pesto, lamb ragu, beef bolognese, cherry tomato, wild mushrooms, eggplant norma.

Or make your own sauce for a last minute pasta: "This is the best thing I’ve cooked with the least amount of effort in the past month," Heidi Swanson wrote of this gem she gave us.  Pasta with Creamy Crushed Walnut Sauce is a base that can be varied infinitely -- and very quickly.  If you did not click on it last week, I am tempting you again this week.  

Reids Orchard and Winery: peaches and nectarines are still with us, thank goodness.. Both yellow and white nectarines and peaches, Castleton Plums, blackberries, seedless grapes and apples: honey crisp, gala, macintosh, golden supreme, early fuji and jonamac. Hosui Asian pears. Heirloom tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers in all colors, new potatoes. Plant some of their fresh herbs to keep you going through the Fall.

Swirly Girl Creamery: Have you tried MOOSTER with tomatoes? It is a very flavorful aged Muenster style cheese and Jeff and I have been eating it every day with various tomato salads. The Tommy Goat is made in a parmesan style. Morbier is mixed milk marvel -- that caused a French diplomat to throw a basket of Morbier at Market at another market. I love the feta with a tomato and cucumber salad, in wraps and now baked with figs. It is a great condiment cheese sprinkled on just about everything. Try the funkier Firetruck and Cowttin. Firetruck is a salty grater and Cowttin is like a French triple cream.

Groff's Content: lots of beef cuts, sausages, pork, chicken this week for your grill. And yes, they do have suckling pig.

King Mushrooms: Shiitake, maitake, cremini, portobello, exotic mix, lion's mane, king trumpet, chestnut and oysters. In other words, lots of choices.

Subject: HPO Monthly Public Notice - September 2020 

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. Greetings: This Notice is posted on the OP/HPO website at:   https://planning.dc.gov/node/1491046  _________ MONTHLY PUBLIC NOTICE September 2020 Issued by email on September 4, 2020 PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE   This notice is the official monthly announcement by the District of Columbia’s Historic Preservation Office (HPO) of pending matters of public interest.  It includes items related to preservation planning, designation of historic landmarks and historic districts, and project reviews before the Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) and U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA).  Please note that this notice contains changes in procedures, noted in bold, for the Historic Preservation Review Board’s public meetings due to the COVID-19 public health emergency.   NOTICE TO ADVISORY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMISSIONS  HPO and HPRB welcome and encourage Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) participation in the historic preservation review process.  HPRB gives great weight to duly adopted written ANC views on matters of significance to neighborhood planning and development.   How Affected ANCs Should Use this Notice  This is an initial notice to ANCs of construction projects recently filed for HPRB review.  Projects are identified by address and ANC area where the address is located.  Upcoming historic designation hearings are also listed, supplementing the separate notice letters mailed to ANCs. HPRB regulations are designed to allow ANCs to identify projects they believe are significant to neighborhood planning and development.  ANCs can request project submissions and applicant contact information from the assigned HPO staff person listed on this notice.  The historic preservation regulations encourage, but do not require, applicants to contact the affected ANC to present their projects and to resolve any public concerns before HPRB review.  If an ANC is interested in a project listed on this notice, but has not yet been contacted by the applicant, the ANC is encouraged to arrange for an ANC review directly with the applicant.    Longer Notice Period for Cases Undergoing ANC Review  HPO gives notice according to rules designed to balance the interests of project applicants and ANCs.  If HPO is already aware of ANC interest in a project, the case is listed on two successive monthly notices in order to ensure a minimum notice to the affected ANC of 45 days (or 30 working days, whichever is longer).  This means that when these cases first appear on this notice, they are scheduled for the HPRB meeting at the end of the following month.  HPO asks affected ANCs for help in identifying any other projects on this notice that they want to review at a public meeting.  Upon notification, HPO will ensure that the affected ANC receives a minimum 45-day notice of those cases.  ANCs may identify an interest in reviewing any or all cases that affect their area.  For those cases that affected ANCs do not need to consider at a public meeting, HPO will proceed with review for possible consideration at this month’s HPRB meeting.  The shorter notice allows the application to proceed without unnecessary delay to the applicant or burden to the ANC.   How to Ensure Consideration of ANC Views  ANCs should first identify those cases on this notice they want to review.  ANCs should feel free to contact the assigned HPO staff person for information about any case.  ANCs should also contact HPO in writing to request an extended notice for those cases the ANC wants to review at a public meeting.  Requests are granted automatically and may be made by email to the assigned staff person or to historic.preservation@dc.gov.  Requests should be made as soon as possible, but no later than two days before the upcoming HPRB meeting.  ANCs do not need to contact HPO about projects that are already scheduled to allow a 45-day review period, or that they have already reviewed.    How to Submit ANC Comments  For ANC comments to receive great weight, they must be adopted by ANC vote at a duly noticed public meeting.  ANC comments may be in resolution or letter format and should be submitted within the 45-day review period.  Comments should relate to HPRB’s area of jurisdiction, state the vote taken, and articulate the basis for the ANC recommendations.  Any ANC commissioner is welcome to participate in HPRB meetings as an individual, but only the duly adopted official comments of the ANC receive great weight.   GENERAL AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC INFORMATION  The applications listed on this notice and their associated materials are a matter of public record.  Case files, including all correspondence received, may be accessed on the Office of Planning website.  Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, case files are not currently accessible in person.     HOW TO ACCESS THE HPRB MEETING  Due to the COVID-19 public the September 24 and October 1 HPRB meeting may be accessed live via WebEx.  Use the links below to access to the meetings:

website approximately 5 days following the meeting.   COMMENT SUBMISSION DEADLINES  Public comments are welcome on HPRB cases.  Written public comments must be submitted at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled meeting.  To testify before the HPRB via WebEx, you must also register 24 hours in advance.  Please submit your name and the case you wish to testify on by emailing historic.preservation@dc.gov .  Instructions for testifying will be emailed to you in advance of the meeting.  Any comments received after the final deadline will held for the record but not distributed to the HPRB members.  The 66-day/51-working-day ANC notice period for new cases on this notice expires on: November 8, 2020.   NOTICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION REVIEW BOARD MEETINGS September 24, 2020 October 1, 2020   The Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) will meet via WebEx on September 24 and October 1 to consider concept and permit applications for work affecting historic properties. Applications for historic landmark or historic district designation may also be considered.  The agenda for these meetings will be drawn from the list of filed cases below, but not all cases on the list will be included.  The agenda will be released on the Friday before each meeting and will be emailed to all recipients of this public notice.  The agenda and HPO reports for the scheduled cases will be posted on the HPO website at www.preservation.dc.gov  by the end of the day on Friday, September 18, 2020.    NOTICE OF CASES FILED FOR REVIEW  The following cases have been filed by this month’s application deadline for submission to HPRB. The agenda of cases for the upcoming HPRB meetings will be drawn from this list.  Listing on this notice does not guarantee a hearing this month.  Some cases are already scheduled for the following month.  Other cases may be deferred at the request of the affected Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC), for insufficient information, or at the discretion of HPO or HPRB.  For inquiries about or to provide comments on a specific case, please contact the assigned staff person listed below.  Written comments should be received at HPO by the comment deadlines noted above.

a week from today: Ward 5 back-to-school supplies give-away

From: Parker, Zachary (SBOE) <Zachary.Parker@dc.gov> 

Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2020 8:41 AM
Subject: Ward 5 Back-to-School Supplies Giveaway! 

I am emailing you with exciting news! I am teaming up with the Ward 5 Education Equity Committee, the McKinley Tech PTO, and my predecessor, Mark Jones, to host the Ward 5 Back-to-School Supplies Giveaway!  

The purpose of the event is to provide Ward 5 students school supplies to meaningfully engage in distance or in-person learning this school year. All DCPS and charter school students are eligible to pick up supplies on Friday, September 11th from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. via the McKinley Tech parking lot. Neighbors are encouraged to enter McKinley's parking lot via T Street NE and exit via the alleyway to maintain traffic flow. We will have signs to support the flow of traffic. Students picking up supplies in cars will stay in their vehicles for safety purposes; students walking up will retrieve supplies from one of several socially-distant stations. We will have PPE on hand. 

Over the next couple of weeks, we are working to fundraise and get the word out about the event. If you or someone you know (or even the Civic Association) is interested in donating, you can contribute here. All donations are tax-deductible (thanks to the McKinley PTO!). Also, if you can share the flyer below via your networks and listservs and encourage your neighbors to pick up supplies on September 11th, that would be great. We want neighbors from all corners of the Ward to benefit from this opportunity.  

We are also looking for volunteers. If interested, please let me know. DCPS high school students who volunteer will receive community service hours. 

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thanks in advance for your support in making this event a success!
