He’s innocent! A mom named Carly Hodo found herself with a mystery to solve this month. She was driving with her son, Phoenix, one day and had donuts in tow. When she pulled over—the sweets were missing. Carly suspected Phoenix ate them, but he vehemently denied the allegations. Carly caught the adorable integration on video. It showed her asking her toddler if he ate the donuts while he shakes his head “no” with the most truthful look on his face. A face that is covered in powdered sugar and crumbs. “Hey, did you eat my donuts?” Carly asked as Phoenix said “no” and leaned back, unknowingly showing crumbs on his shirt. “Are you sure?” she pressed. “I sure,” he said. “Okay, I was just checking,” she responded, ready to let the obvious donut thief go. @days.with.carly.sahm Doughnuts?

In a game-changing step for food security in San Francisco, a new free grocery shop has opened in the Bayview district, intending to fill low-income families’ pantries without cost. The District 10 Community Market, the city’s first of its kind, held a grand opening ceremony a few weeks ago that drew 150 people, including local residents, city officials, and community advocates. A new era of food assistance Traditional food banks and free grocery centers often give pre-bagged packages or operate in a farmers’ market-style setting, restricting consumers’ options and variety. In stark contrast, the District 10 Community Market offers a dignified shopping experience for locals, who can choose from aisles stocked with staples such as milk, eggs, fresh veggies, tortilla chips, and canned beans. The only distinction from a traditional supermarket is the lack of a cash register. “This is the first one,” said Supervisor Ahsha Safaí, who championed the legislation behind the market. “We’re going to continue to do more across San Francisco.” Serving the Bayview community The store is intended to serve inhabitants of specified ZIP codes (94124, 94107, and 94134) who are low-income, get public assistance, have children or diet-related ailments, and are referred by community organizations in the market’s network. Eligible customers must get a grocery card—similar to a Costco membership card—from one of the market’s associated charity organizations. Currently, the market expects to open twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, with visitors permitted every two weeks. The city’s Human Services Agency will limit the amount of food that each buyer can take, guaranteeing a fair distribution of resources. Geoffrea Morris, the co-founder with Safaí, emphasized the market’s objective to meet the community’s health requirements. “We have some of the sickest people here because of poor-quality food,” she explained, citing the area’s high prevalence of diabetes and other diet-related ailments. “Fast choice, fast food options. So we’re being very intentional about the health and welfare of our residents.” Creating community and hope The Bayview neighborhood has long been designated as a food desert by the federal government, suggesting that most people have limited access to fresh food. The new market is a crucial step toward addressing this issue, building on recent attempts to increase grocery options in the neighborhood, including the launch of Lucky Bayview in 2022 and another location of the Mexican-family-owned Mi Rancho Supermarket. “This is not a leisure market,” Morris said, emphasizing the store’s importance. To better serve the diverse population, employees at the market speak Spanish and Cantonese. The market’s inception was the consequence of collaboration and charity. Contractors who created the market worked for free or at a reduced rate, demonstrating a strong community spirit. The market, overseen by the charity Bayview Senior Services, hopes to serve 6,000 seniors per month. Vision for the future While the market now has 400 registered clients, Morris anticipates that number increasing rapidly. “Just because you’re poor doesn’t mean you don’t have class—that you don’t like presentation,” she remarked, emphasizing the importance of providing a respectful and pleasant shopping environment. The store will rely primarily on donations from local stores like Lucky Bayview for essentials while acquiring fresh produce to assure quality and diversity. This method demonstrates a commitment to providing healthy options to tackle diet-related health conditions that are widespread in the community. The District 10 Community Market embodies the vision for a promising future for food aid in San Francisco. By combining dignity, variety, and quality, the market serves as a light of hope, providing a long-term solution to food insecurity in Bayview.    The post A free grocery store opens in San Francisco neighborhood to combat food insecurity first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

What better way to cool off from the extreme temperatures this summer than by treating yourself to a refreshingly cold vegan soup? Whenever you want to beat the heat while being conscious of what is contributing to the dramatic rise in temperatures (an excess of carbon emissions—a big percentage of which come from the meat and livestock industry), then these five soups are easy, healthy, and make a colorful addition to the table. Cucumber avocado gazpacho This variation of the traditional Spanish gazpacho soup, courtesy of Crowded Kitchen, only takes 10 minutes to make. Throw cucumber, celery, onion, garlic, oil, vinegar, and fresh herbs into a blender. If you want a touch more creaminess, then an avocado will do the trick. Keep the mixture in the fridge for an hour before serving for an extra refreshing snack. Leek and potato vichyssoise This delicious cold soup is a summer essential for unbearably hot days. Plus, the recipe, from No Sweat Vegan, calls for leek greens, so don’t toss leek sheaths next time you’re wondering what to do with them. Cook the soup on the stove, blend and cool in the fridge. Top it off with vegan yogurt or cream and serve it with a side salad or some bread. Strawberry, watermelon, and basil gazpacho This vibrant soup from Crowded Kitchen only takes a few minutes to prepare and uses only seasonal produce. Mix basil, lime juice, and jalapeno with strawberry, watermelon, and mint for depth of taste and freshness. Cool minty peach soup Not only is this tasty soup vegan, but it’s paleo and gluten-free, too! A peach soup is perfect for the summer months as peaches are in season. Bake the peaches to easily remove the skin, mix with mint, stevia, water, and coconut yogurt and then throw it all into a blender. Tasting Page recommends garnishing the soup with a fresh mint sprig and a dollop of vegan yogurt. Cold corn chowder This recipe offers another great way to reduce food waste by calling for corn cobs to make scrumptious homemade corn stock. Combine the stock with sautéed ginger, garlic, potatoes, celery, carrots, and more corn. Then, throw it all in an immersion blender with coconut milk and lime juice. Make sure to cool the soup in the fridge before serving.The post 5 Cold vegan soups to chill you out this summer first appeared on The Optimist Daily: Making Solutions the News.

'What? Just saying'

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A

Peter Alexander had a banner day while guest-hosting NBC’s Meet the Depressed. First, he recited a series of leftwing tropes on crime and immigration while deflecting criticism away from the Biden Administration’s handling of these pressing issues. Afterwards, he fretted that voters are insufficiently aware of President Biden’s achievements over these four years. Watch as Alexander emotes concern over the level of ignorance he’s witnessed during the course of his travels across the fruited plain: NBC MEET THE PRESS 6/23/24 10:37 AM MOLLY BALL: It will be interesting to see if the Biden campaign continues to feel that this is an effective attack. You know, a lot of Democrats believe that in 2016 Hillary Clinton spent too much time attacking Trump's character and not enough talking about the policies he would implement. At the same time, there is a feeling that a lot of the disengaged voters that Biden needs to reach don't necessarily know about all this baggage that Trump has. PETER ALEXANDER: Well, perhaps. I think there's also the concern, right, that they want to make sure they know about the economy and what his vision is for the next four years. So many Americans, I’m struck, as I travel around the country, Greg (Bluestein), don't even know what Joe Biden has accomplished in the course of his four years. You're a Georgia guy, one of the critical battlegrounds, Donald Trump narrowly lost it last go-around, this time he consistently leads in all the polls. How does Joe Biden appeal to the independent voters there? In Alexander’s blinkered view, the Great Unwashed don’t know how great they have it. Alexander comes across as a modern-day version of Diogenes the Cynic, lamp in hand, searching for the voter that has entered into the knowledge of all of Biden’s wins. Alexander’s expression of dismay came during the portion of the panel discussion concerning the effectiveness (for Biden’s campaign) of continuing to emphasize former President Donald Trump’s conviction in the New York business records case. If there are indeed voters unaware of Trump’s “baggage”, it isn’t due to lack of media effort, given their outsized coverage of the trial.  It may be the case that voters are keenly aware of what Biden has “accomplished” on the economy, despite Regime Media efforts to obfuscate with Trump’s legal troubles (in and of themselves the result of weaponized government) and firefight the damage wrought by Bidenomics. It’s not that they don’t know, but that they know better.
