On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Michaele Weissman, author of The Rye Bread Marriage, as well as other books and hundreds of articles. Rye bread is a beloved foodstuff with a rich history. To author Michaele Weissman, it's so much more. “What do you do if you're a writer, married to a guy who was born in Latvia, is obsessed with Latvian rye bread and stays obsessed through [all] decades of your lives,” Weissman said. You write a book, called The Rye Bread Marriage. Weissman's literary memoir intertwines the bread's history along with their personal journeys. Weissman talks about her - and her book's - backstory, the power of connecting through food, and so much more. She also shares a recipe for Composed Beet Salad. This is her favorite first course, as it fits beautifully with her love of breaking bread. Follow @MichaeleWeissman on Instagram, learn more about her at MichaeleWeissmanwrites.com, and get the recipe on JewishJournal.com/podcasts.

For most of her life Suzanne Onodera @sazaono, a painter and deeply creative soul, has pondered the big questions: who am I, where did I come from, and how can I express myself with authenticity and artistry? Listen to this fascinating conversation with Suzanne in which we explore such topics as mystery, memory, and the relationship between fear and authentic expression. Suzanne tells stories of turning grief into wonder through creative process. She talks about how she found strength and inspiration in excavating her own family's traumatic history as prisoners in Japanese internment camps during World War II. Suzanne's journey of connecting to her ancestry is powerfully expressed through her exhibit “After the War” in which she shares scenes of family lore and national history as glimpsed through the luminous haze of memory. She talks in depth about how this creative project led her down new paths in art-making and new ways of understanding her own identity. Suzanne Onodera was born in Berkeley, California. She attended the School of the Art institute in Chicago and the California College of the Arts, where she pursued a BFA in painting. For over a decade, Onodera worked in the art departments of LucasArts and EA, envisioning and realizing fantastical environments for video games set in the Star Wars, Star Trek, and Lord of the Rings universes. In recent years, Onodera has mounted solo shows at venues on both coasts. In the words of Michaele Weissman, author of History of Women in America, “Suzanne Onodera's paintings illustrate and yet undermine what is familiar. Mystery is present in her work, as are highly resonant, psychologically deep themes of decay, loneliness, stewardship, and regeneration.” Notes and Resources: www.sonodera.com Insta: @sazaono This episode was edited and mixed by Chad Clarke, @the.podcast.producer on IG
We're getting excited, or rather unexcited this week, around a fading fad in the specialty coffee industry. The Perfect Daily Grind article, “Are coffee competitions moving away from Gesha?” provided a great insight about how after 16 years, ‘the shine is off the penny'. The World Barista Championship (WBC) competition coffee trend is moving away from Gesha, also known as Geisha, a delicious, delicately floral tasting coffee that is high scoring and has an increasingly hyped up cost. This move is indicative of a larger change in the industry towards different flavours, seasonality and diversification. Industry leaders and WBC competitors are driving this change with innovation, taking the pressure off the ‘superhero' producer and stepping up to support risky experimentation. We hope you enjoy this week's deep dive with us, your intrepid coffee adventure guides!

Today (Monday, February 19, 2018), we’re talking – and drinking – every aspect of coffee with one of the world’s foremost authorities on a cup o’ Joe and its impact on us and the people who grow it for us, food journalist and author Michaele Weissman. In 2008 Michaele published her groundbreaking book, God in a Cup: the Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Coffee, and a lot of other fine work since – always on the subject of coffee. And we’re going to talk about it all … over several cups of Spike Gjerde’s awesome coffee made at Counter Culture Coffee in DC’s Line Hotel.
Sometimes the snobs of society can troll us. They seem to relish knowing things the rest of us don't. And of all the snobs, coffee connoisseurs can tend to embody this exclusive behavior.
