Broccoli Weather
Do you feel that? Yup, it finally feels like fall. With cooler weather comes the return of cruciferous veggies - also called "cole crops" - like broccoli. The first tender heads of fall broccoli at market have been beautiful this past week. A truly versatile vegetable, and a favorite of kids, broccoli is delicious whether cooked into a stir fry or soup, or simply eaten raw in a salad or with hummus. Steamed or raw are the best ways to preserve broccoli's nutritional benefits - of which there are many! This veggie is commonly known as a super food because of its rich vitamin makeup and health benefits. Broccoli is a great source of fiber, vitamins A, C and K, antioxidants which fight cancer, calcium, iron and magnesium. Broccoli has been seen at the tables of Poche Family Farm (pictured), Monica's Okra World, Major Acre Farm, and more! Unfortunately, the hot and wet weather we experienced late summer took a toll on farmer Timmy Perilloux's broccoli, but the second crop will be here soon enough for those looking for the tasty little trees. Now is the season to get some fresh broccoli into your diet and give yourself a healthy, delicious boost.
PICKS OF THE WEEK:Market Mash

The Powers family tends to bees located across 4 properties on the west bank including Algiers, Belle Chasse, and Sugar Roots Farm in New Aurora. They offer raw unfiltered and unpasteurized honey with and without the comb, pure raw honeycomb, and will soon have pollen for sale! All of Powers Beekeepers' honey is made naturally in local beehives without harsh treatments "with the goodness left in" and these apiarists believe that bee stings are the key to a long life. The Powers will attend Thursday market every other week - check our social media for updates!
RECIPE OF THE WEEK:Smoky Eggplant Dip
I made this babaganoush-like recipe from Smitten Kitchen twice last week, that's how much I love it. It's filling, healthy, and goes great with sliced cucumbers, peppers, or a hunk of bread. Plus, it's easy and fun to make-- char your eggplant over your gas stove before roasting it in the oven and tossing it in the blender with a few other simple ingredients. Do yourself a favor and make a double batch. Find your eggplants, cucumbers, peppers, and bread at any of our markets.
Smoky Eggplant Dip
I made this Babaganoush-like recipe from Smitten Kitchen twice last week, that's how much I love it. It's filling, healthy, and goes great with sliced cucumbers, peppers, or a hunk of bread. Plus, it's easy and fun to make-- char your eggplant over your gas stove before roasting it in the oven and tossing it in the blender with a few other simple ingredients. Do yourself a favor and make a double batch. Find your eggplants, cucumbers, peppers, and bread at any of our markets.
Ingredients
2 medium eggplants (about 1 pound each)
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon coarse or kosher salt, or to taste
6 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste), well-stirred if a new container
Heat oven to 375°F. Brush a baking sheet or roasting pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Prick eggplants a few times with a fork or tip of a knife. Over a gas flame, grill or under a broiler, evenly char the skin of your eggplants. I like mine quite smoky and like to leave no purple visible. Transfer to a cutting board, and when cool enough to handle, trim off the stem and cut lengthwise. Place cut side down on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until very, very tender when pressed. Let cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor: Scrape eggplant flesh from skin and into the work bowl. Add tahini, lemon, cayenne, cumin, and 1 tablespoon parsley. Blend in short bursts (pulses) until combined but still coarsely chopped.
By hand: Scrape eggplant flesh from skin and onto a cutting board. Finely chop the eggplant, leaving some bits closer to pea-sized. In a bowl, whisk together tahini, garlic, lemon, cayenne, cumin, and half the parsley. Add chopped eggplant and stir to combine.
Both methods: Taste and adjust ingredients if needed. I usually need more salt and lemon.
To serve: Spoon into a bowl and drizzle with remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Scatter with the second tablespoon of parsley, and some toasted sesame seeds or za'atar, if desired. Serve with pita wedges.

EVER MORE NEST WITH KELCY MAEAT OGDEN AFTER HOURS
/// October 25 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Ever More Nest is a new project from New Orleans-based songwriter, Kelcy Mae. A band with an unmistakable Americana tilt, Ever More Nest pairs Kelcy's signature poetic lyricism with a musical style that can set you simultaneously on a rural dirt road and a gritty, big-city street. The name 'Ever More Nest' was drawn from a line in a poem by Mary Ann Samyn, which Kelcy found striking in its ability to evoke both a nostalgia for and a sinking displeasure with space and time. The project's debut record, "The Place That You Call Home," is likewise obsessed with the idea of place, from the fallen trees of "North Mississippi" to the infinite stars of "Major Tom."
Louisiana singer-songwriter and Ever More Nest front woman, Kelcy Mae Wilburn, cut her musical teeth in the way many Bible Belt kids do-singing traditional hymns in church choirs and belting out rock songs amidst the cigarette smoke of friends in cars on the backroads. When a set of braces prematurely ended a short-lived future in trumpet, a teenage Kelcy picked up her brother's acoustic guitar and began writing songs.
In 2001, Kelcy found a home in New Orleans, where she studied English at Loyola University and dabbled at local open mics. After Hurricane Katrina, she sold flooring while working toward her MFA in poetry at the University of New Orleans. The poetry of song was her first love, and she eventually returned, pursuing a life in music with the release of her folk-influenced solo record "Pennies in Hand" in 2011. Her next release in 2014, double EP "Half-Light," Kelcy Mae explored her country-leaning tendencies while staying rooted in a New Orleans-influenced, pop-rock approach. "No Depression" called it "an album that pairs solid, straightforward songwriting with a wide ranging musical style with just enough twang at the heart of it all to appeal to any fan of modern Americana."
Now performing under the name Ever More Nest, Kelcy Mae shows that her work over the last few years-a music-driven journey of self discovery-has paid off, and with "The Place That You Call Home" (October 2018), she displays just how at home she is at the intersection of Americana, Alt-Country and Rock 'n Roll.

Michael Hewes, Sarah Hewes
The Tempestuous Trial of Maybelline Meriweather -Maybelline Meriweather has been put on trial for stealing an egg from another bird's nest. After consulting with the Mockingbirds, she retains the renowned Atticus Peck to take her case. A courtroom drama ensues, featuring revelations, cross-examinations, and flighty admissions. In the end, justice is served, and Maybelline is finally able to explain the curious behavior that first marked her as a suspect.
The book references more than 50 illustrated bird species.
As an undergraduate at the University of Southern Mississippi, Michael Hewes shared the hallways of his dorm with a chicken named Maybelline. Michael went on to pursue a career in law, and on the way home from a deposition he began to wonder what would happen if a chicken was put on trial for stealing another bird's egg. By the time he got home, the first two stanzas of this book were written. He is also the author of the novel Watermark. Sarah Hewes has spent the majority of her career painting birds, although this is the first time she has adorned them with pants. Sarah's work hangs in corporate and private collections throughout Mississippi and Louisiana, and her art has been published in two books.

Gumbo - A Magical Bayou Tale - George wanders through the bayou on a lazy afternoon and becomes charmed by the scent of a far-off gumbo drifting on the breeze. He follows his nose and meets the mystical Nanny, who seems at home in the swamp under her ancient oak trees. Nanny and George prepare a gumbo rich in music, stories, laughter, and Cajun secrets. As they dice, chop, and stir, she will teach him how to put together the most important of Cajun dishes and impart a few lessons about life along the way.

Johnette Downing
Bugs on the Rug - Based on a song from Johnette Downing's Boogie Woogie Bugs album, Bugs on the Rug - with its singsong rhyming text - introduces babies and youngsters to the world of bugs. Illustrated in Johnette's bold, bright foam and paper collage style, the bugs seem soft enough to touch and pick up off the page.
Ten Gators in the Bed - Downing takes readers deep into the swamp where 10 alligators pile into bed in their Acadian home. Based on a familiar tune, this singing book, with foam and paper illustrations, is a counting and bedtime story for babies and gators, who find out who gets to sleep in the bed and who has to sleep in the swamp.
Who Got the Baby in the King Cake? -Based on a song from Johnette Downing's new album Swamp Romp, A Louisiana Dance Party for Children, this rhythmic original story celebrates king cake, the culinary centerpiece of New Orleans Mardi Gras. Believed to have originated in twelfth-century France, the cake is an homage to the wise men or three kings.

John Magill
The Incomparable Magazine Street - New Orleans' Magazine Street has undergone remarkable changes over its long history. From an overlooked district of mostly unassuming residences and businesses, it has evolved into one of the nation's most dynamic business thoroughfares. Once host to neighborhood grocers, druggists, and cleaners, today Magazine has become a destination of fashion boutiques, gift shops, design studios, antique stores, and galleries. It is also one of the most important dining and drinking streets in town. Still home to small little neighborhood eateries, Magazine now hosts some of the city's most renowned restaurants. Yet even with the transformation the street has seen, the soul of Magazine retains its residential charm.
John Magill retired in 2016 as senior curator with The Historic New Orleans Collection after more than 30 years. A nationally known urban historian and New Orleans expert, he has lectured and written on topics ranging from Carnival to catastrophes. He has penned articles for New Orleans Magazine, Louisiana Cultural Vistas, and The Historic New Orleans Collection Quarterly. He contributed to Charting Louisiana: 500 Years of Maps and is the coauthor of Canal Street: New Orleans' Great Wide Way and Christmas in New Orleans. Magill has been honored by the Press Club of New Orleans, the Gulf South Historical Association, and the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities.

Archaeological Investigations of a Former Yellow Fever Hospital in New Orleans

In 1874, wealthy cigar merchant Martin del Escobal moved into his new home on Canal Street near the cemeteries. Martin had purchased an entire city block on what was then the edge of town, where he could surround his showcase two-story mansion with ornamental trees and lush gardens. Financial troubles forced Martin to sell the "Escobal Mansion" in 1885. After passing through several additional owners, in January 1893 the mansion was sold to the New Orleans School Board for conversion into a public primary school for the children of the growing Mid-City neighborhood.
P. G. T. Beauregard School was dedicated on October 14, 1893 and soon opened under the direction of Miss Ernestine Miller, Principal. Joining Miss Miller was a widow by the name of Mrs. Hannah Ford, who with her five children moved into a house on the school property to serve as its portress (caretaker).
In September of 1897, an outbreak of yellow fever that began in Ocean Springs, Mississippi had spread to New Orleans and created a public panic. Throughout the 19th century, yellow fever had killed tens of thousands of people in south Louisiana, and the prospect of another outbreak caused great unrest throughout the city. Not yet armed with the understanding that yellow fever was spread by mosquitoes, public health officials urged that all sufferers of the fever, as well as anyone who had been in contact with those individuals, should be quarantined until the patient had fully recovered. While members of the middle and upper classes could pass their period of quarantine at home, the poor and homeless often did not have that option.
By late September, the decision was made to open a temporary hospital for the treatment of yellow fever patients on the grounds of Beauregard School, operated by physicians and nurses of Charity Hospital. Many residents of Mid-City objected to the plan, fearing that the disease would spread from the hospital to the neighborhood, and on September 23 a violent mob descended on the school. Sometime after midnight, at least two individuals sneaked onto the school grounds and set fire to several buildings, destroying the kindergarten classrooms and Mrs. Ford's residence. The main school building survived the fire, and under the 24-hour protection of armed police guards, the temporary hospital opened and received its first patients on September 27.
The Beauregard isolation hospital remained in operation until mid-December when the fever outbreak was declared ended, and during those two-and-a-half months had treated over 200 patients, with 51 deaths from yellow fever. After the hospital was closed, the school building was thoroughly disinfected and reopened as a school on January 26, 1898. Hannah Ford moved into a new home on the school grounds and resumed her duties as its portress.
The old Escobal Mansion/first Beauregard School was torn down in 1908 to make room for a new school building, which was completed in 1909 and again named the Beauregard School. Hannah Ford remained in her house on the school grounds until 1913 or 1914, when she moved to another house nearby.
In 2016, FEMA contracted R. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc. of New Orleans to conduct archeological investigations in the rear parking lot of Thurgood Marshall Middle School (formerly P.G.T. Beauregard School) prior to beginning renovations of the old school building. Those investigations resulted in the discoveries of two privies in what had been the rear yard of the old Escobal Mansion, one that became a medical waste dump associated with the yellow fever hospital of 1897, and the other containing personal possessions discarded by Hannah Ford when she moved ca. 1914. The discovery of the medical deposit offers a particularly rare opportunity to study late 19th century medical practices associated with the treatment of yellow fever, while the possessions of Mrs. Ford offer insights into the life of a school portress and single working mother at the turn of the 20th century.

Halloween-themed tours of THNOC's Louisiana History Galleries return
WHO: The Historic New Orleans Collection
WHAT: "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History," Halloween-themed tours of THNOC's Louisiana History Galleries
DATE: Tuesday-Sunday, Oct. 25-31, 2018
*Please note THNOC is closed on Mondays.
TIME: 11 a.m.
WHERE:The Historic New Orleans Collection, 533 Royal St., in the French Quarter
HOW: Admission is $5, free for THNOC members.
Memberships at The Historic New Orleans Collection begin at $35 per year.
WHY: The Historic New Orleans Collection will resurrect the special Halloween-themed tour of its Louisiana History Galleries Oct. 2-31. "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History" will be available Tuesday-Sunday at 11 a.m. inside THNOC's flagship building at 533 Royal St.
In medieval allegory, "la danse macabre," or the dance of death, is a ritualized march to the grave-a sober reminder of life's finality cloaked in wicked mirth. In a similar spirit, THNOC's "Danse Macabre: The Nightmare of History" will lead visitors through darker aspects of New Orleans lore.
From the unwholesome subject of executions in French Louisiana to the gritty logistics of cemetery relocation, the tour is a toast to the authentically spooky-a veritable dance to the grave. Mosquitos, serial killers, colonialism and unlawful assembly are just some of the topics likely to produce a bedlam of fright, insights and delights.
Tours will be available at 11 a.m. Tuesday-Sunday, Oct. 2-31. Admission is $5 or free for THNOC members. Please note: this is not a walking tour of New Orleans or the French Quarter, and the tours are not intended for children under the age of 13. Please note THNOC is closed on Mondays.

City to Increase the Number of Waste Tires Accepted at the Recycling Drop-Off Center from Four to Five

The following companies provide their services free of charge as a service to the community:
Iron Mountain -- paper shredding and recycling
CACRC -- e-waste recycling
Republic Services -- single stream recycling
The Composting Network -- composting
Since the City established the Recycling Drop-Off Center in August 2010, a total of 1,193 tons have been recycled. Since the current curbside recycling program began in May 2011, a total of 48,822 tons have been recycled. As a result of the City's efforts since 2010 to appropriately dispose of waste tires illegally dumped and collected from residential properties, more than 214,966 waste tires have been transported to the only LDEQ-approved waste tire processor in the City. The tires collected are recycled.
Occupants of residential properties, which are eligible to receive solid waste collection by the City, are also eligible to place up to four (4) tires next to their garbage collection carts on the second collection day of each week (or on Wednesdays in the French Quarter and DDD). Businesses are not eligible for this service.
Residents are reminded that an ordinance was passed earlier this year (Sections 26-415 through 24-430 of the City Code), which established minimum standards for the storage, sale, repair, removal, installation, hauling and disposal of motor vehicle tires and established a stronger enforcement process with significant fines and penalties.
It is illegal to store more than 20 tires on a property without authorization from LDEQ as a registered Waste Tire Generator or to transport more than 20 tires without a permit from LDEQ, which must be prominently displayed on the vehicle transporting the tires. All tires must be covered to prevent standing water which could become breeding grounds for rodents and mosquitoes that could carry the West Nile or Zika viruses. All Waste Tire Generators must keep LDEQ-approved manifests on site, for a minimum of five years, which document that tires have been legally transported and disposed of by an LDEQ-permitted transporter and tire processor.
The Department of Sanitation is working the NOPD, the Department of Safety and Permits and the Department of Finance to ensure that all tire shops are in full compliance with City and State Codes. The owners of properties that are found not to be in compliance will be cited. As a result of a joint enforcement action involving LDEQ's Criminal Investigation Division and NOPD, arrests have been made for illegally transporting and disposing of tires in Orleans Parish.

Raw Oysters
Fall in New Orleans marks the beginning of oyster season on the Gulf Coast.

New Orleans is a city that has achieved an unparalleled reputation as a dining and celebration destination, a place renowned for good times, fine cuisine, and possessing a singular appreciation of rewards on the palate. Your wines not only belong in this competition, they can make an important statement with an award recognition.
The New York Times recently described New Orleans as "a vibrant, historically-rich city of resilience," The New Orleans International Wine Awards will further add to our community's commitment to excellence in hospitality and culinary pursuits, made especially poignant and important during New Orleans' year-long Tricentennial celebrations.
Founded in 1718 by French Canadian explorers under a directive from Louis XIV, the Sun King, New Orleans has played a role in the expansion of Spain and France into world powers, and in the establishment of the United States as a valued member of the world community, stretching the width of the North American continent.
With the arrival of peoples from every nation, New Orleans embraced their customs, their culinary expressions and, mostly, their spirits. To this day, it is impossible to walk the streets of New Orleans and not be affected by the joys and passions for life as lived in this city renowned for dining, music, architecture, history, and desire to celebrate.
Joie de Vivre does not begin to express the sensual overtones of New Orleans residents who define love of neighbor and embrace of visitor.
There are many good reasons to take part in the New Orleans International Wine Awards program.
** Winemakers from every corner of the globe can submit their wines to be evaluated by a blue-ribbon group of internationally respected, professional, and experienced wine judges.
** Your wines will then be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike in a wine tasting event that can only happen in New Orleans. Guests will walk between Brennan's Restaurant on Royal Street, Galatoire's Restaurant on Bourbon Street, Antoine's Restaurant on St. Louis Street, and Arnaud's Restaurant on Bienville Street.
