It's the work of Artichoke Bliss, a grassroots collective of volunteers investing the love and energy that can transform a derelict lot into a growing space. Here's a nice little summary of what they are doing over at the blog, Our Green Atlanta. Have a look at their Facebook page for all the details. You might find yourself joining in.

Grilled Oyster Mushrooms on Steamed Collards

We love the oyster mushrooms. They have such a satisfying, full bodied flavor, meaty, even. Healthwise, this asian delicacy of a mushroom, naturally lowers cholesterol in the body as well as boosting the immune system. Marinated with garlic and tamari and persimmon vinegar, these will knock your socks off. Here they are, nice and simple, on a bed of local collards.

Some of our local farms were hit badly by the recent floods, and Slow Food Atlanta has organized the Georgia Flooded Farms Relief Fund - check out that link. Come join us on Sunday for a beautiful day outside with food and drink and music and relaxing and engaging with your community.

farro & parsnip patties

2009-09-11T14:34:00.006-04:00

Farro? Well, wikipedia says,

There is much confusion or disagreement about what exactly farro is. Some claim it is emmer, others, spelt, and still others think it is its own species. Farro is an Italian term borrowed with this food product into English, and there are three species of hulled wheat grown in Italy and eaten as farro: einkorn, emmer, and spelt. Regional differences in what is locally grown and eaten as farro, as well as similarities between the three grains may explain the confusion. Barley and farro may be used interchangeably because of their similar characteristics. Spelt is much more commonly grown in Germany and Switzerland, and, though called dinkel there, is eaten and used in much the same way, and might therefore be considered farro. Common wheat may also be prepared and eaten much like farro, in which form it is often referred to as wheatberries.

We'll likely answer, Spelt.
