Promo for the free screening of Farmacy of Light.

Hi Reader, I watched a new documentary called Farmacy of Light, and I didn’t expect it to feel quite so personal. The film takes place right here in Irvine, California where I live. It follows Erik Cutter, who created a regenerative organic farm on pavement using just a small urban lot. Years ago, I actually met Erik at a hydroponic farm he had nearby. And when the film shows the Farm + Food Lab at the Great Park, I recognized it immediately because I’ve been there. So for me, this wasn’t...

Bowl of Italian potato and tomato salad.

You can serve it warm or cold as a side dish, or turn it into a meal with a few easy additions like chickpeas, white beans, green beans, or extra veggies. It's a fresh, flavorful change from traditional potato salad, and...
