There's a reason kids in small towns listen to songs about getting out. If you roll up 59 North outside of Houston, past all the suburbs and the strip malls, you'll eventually hit Splendora, TX. It was in this blink-and-you'll-miss-it-town where Jeff Canada first picked up the guitar, playing alongside his Grandpa and Uncle. After sidelining his dream for ten years to raise a family, Canada picked his guitar back up and ventured into the Houston cover scene, quickly carving out a niche with his unapologetic stage antics, biting comedy, and unmatched work ethic.An audience of rabid regulars followed, but it wasn't until 2018 that he finally found the voice he'd been struggling to get out in all those years of covering other people. It was a hell of a year. His marriage ended, followed by the death of his mother, and something finally cracked in the 6'3” Splendora boys otherwise tough exterior. “I wan ted to write a real, honest record,” Canada says. “Every line on paper is a line on my face, things I've lived. I could not have written this album ten, or even five years ago.”Those songs would become Wishin' Well, his first solo LP, and the foundation for an entirely new iteration of Jeff Canada as both a performer and a human being. This version isn't running from anything. “I took a long hard look in the mirror and realized that it was mostly because of my own decisions,” he says. And that self-awareness explains why he can sin about the darkest moments in his life with a spark in his eye. It also explains why he's since shared the stage with Stoney Larue, Chad Prather, Shane Smith and the Saints, Kevin Fowler, Cody Canada, Kody West, and sold out the legendary Texas listening room, Dosey Doe on his solo first appearance.This is episode may or may not contain adult content such as strong language, references to smoking, alcohol, sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll.

General Assembly convenes for veto session Virginia legislators returned to Richmond yesterday to continue the 2022 regular session of the General Assembly by responding to vetoes and recommendations from Governor Glenn Youngkin. Before both the House of Delegates and Senate convened at noon, the House Democratic Caucus met and ousted minority leader Eileen Filler-Corn. Brandon Jarvis of the Virginia Political Newsletter reports a secret ballot motion to remove Filler-Corn passed with 25 votes. That’s the minimum required by caucus by-laws. There are 48 Democrats in the 100-member House of Delegates. Jarvis reports a motion to remove Delegate Charniele Herring failed. There was no vote for a new leader. In total, Youngkin had vetoed 26 bills and made recommended changes to 117 others. David Blount, legislative liaison for the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, reports in his update to area officials that none of the vetoes were overridden. Blount reports that no action was taken on the state budget, but the chair of the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee had an update. “We’re working to resolve our differences while also maintaining the Senate position as it relates to the importance of funding core services, especially in the areas of education and health and human services,” said Senator Janet Howell. For a full recap of the action on the vetoes and recommendations, check out the Virginia Mercury’s coverage.We’ll hear more from Howell in tomorrow’s installment of Charlottesville Community Engagement. Attorney General’s office files briefs in 2022 House race caseThe final round of briefs in a federal case to force a House of Delegates race this November may have been filed this week. Richmond Attorney Paul Goldman filed suit against the Board of Elections last year claiming the certification of winning candidates in the 2021 race was not valid because the districts are outdated because they are based on the 2010 Census.In March. the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals sent the case back to the Eastern District of Virginia to answer the question of whether Goldman has the right to have filed the suit. In a new brief filed on Monday, Solicitor General Andrew Ferguson argues Goldman does not have standing. “Goldman’s brief is long on rhetoric but falls short on standing—the only question the Fourth Circuit authorized this Court to answer,” reads the motion. “He offers no explanation of how he has suffered the sort of particularized injury-in-fact that Article III requires for any plaintiff who wants to invoke federal jurisdiction.”The brief goes on to argue that the action by the Virginia Supreme Court to adopt new legislative boundaries in late December did nothing to invalidate the elections of 2021. “The Supreme Court merely drew the maps for the next election,” the motion continues. “The Commonwealth of Virginia’s conduct of the 2021 election did not violate the United States Constitution.”The brief also argues that a federal judicial order to hold a state election this year would be intrusive and would lead to “judicially created confusion.” The state also argues that oral argument on this question is not necessary.In response, Goldman filed a surrebuttal arguing that the state’s latest motion introduced new matters that he deserves to have the right to respond to. On Tuesday, Judge David Novak issued an order supporting Goldman’s request to consider a case called Avery v. Midland County as he reviews how to proceed with the case. JMRL celebrating Poem in Your Pocket DayIf you happen to be on the Charlottesville Downtown Mall today, you may have someone approach you with a small scroll. If so, take it, and rejoice that you have been handed an item of poetry. The Jefferson Madison Regional Library is once again celebrating Poem in Your Pocket Day at several locations throughout the area.“On this annual international day honoring the power of poetry to inspire and delight, children, teens and adults are invited to stop by any JMRL library branch to pick out a poem scroll tied with a bow,” reads the information release for the day. “Unwrap it, and possibilities unfold: read it to yourself, share it with someone close (or even a stranger), or just tuck it in your pocket for a rainy day.” The library system has teamed up with local businesses and other organizations for this occasion.

Council considering amendment of Friendship Court agreementThe current Charlottesville City Council had the chance this month to check in with the redevelopment of Friendship Court. The Piedmont Housing Alliance came before Council on April 18 with a request to amend an agreement that governs a $6 million forgivable loan granted in November 2020 for the first phase. The amendment is a technical one because the full amount had not been allocated by Council in a subsequent budget cycle. Brenda Kelley is the redevelopment manager for the city of Charlottesville, a position currently housed in the Office of Community Solutions. “This request is not asking for additional funding,” Kelley said. “This funding is already approved in this current budget.” Council had no issue with the amendment. “This was kind of staggered mostly because of COVID,” said City Councilor Sena Magill. “Friendship Court was really trying to help ease some of the potential future unknown burden that we might be facing with COVID.” The item will require a second reading and it will be on the consent agenda for the May 2 meeting. Construction of the first phase of Friendship Court is now underway. See also: Council approves agreement for Friendship Court funding, October 30, 2020 Council approves rezoning for 240 Stribling, new agreement to pay for sidewalksCharlottesville City Council has voted to rezone nearly 12 acres of land in the Fry’s Spring neighborhood in order for Southern Development to build 170 units. They also voted for the first time on a proposal that would tie a specific infrastructure project to increased revenues that will be generated by higher property taxes. “This is going to allow us to get infrastructure that we need in that part of the city that we would not have otherwise done,” said Councilor Brian Pinkston. Approval came at the April 18, 2022 meeting. Last year, the City Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning but only if Stribling Avenue would be upgraded as part of the development.Southern Development agreed to loan the city $2.9 million to pay for sidewalks and drainage on Stribling Avenue. Interim City Manager Michael C. Rogers recommended against the agreement as it was written at Council’s first reading on March 21. “We did have discussions with the developer, [Charlie] Armstrong, and we did come to agreement, a funding agreement,” Rogers said The amended agreement would keep the loan at $2.9 million. The idea has always been that Southern Development would be paid back through the tax revenue generated by higher assessments based on the new development. The initial agreement would have given Southern Development 100 percent of the new tax revenue, but that would have been against the city’s policy to allocate a percentage of new real estate tax funds towards education. “We negotiated that it would be 60 / 40 and 60 percent would go to repay the loan,” Rogers said. “And we agreed for that arrangement, it would be a longer financing agreement.” The city will also allocate $1.3 million funding in the Capital Improvement Program for the project as well to cover the costs and possible overruns. “And from discussions with the engineer, that should be enough to cover the project,” Rogers said. Armstrong said the $2.9 million will be available to the city shortly.“The agreement stipulates that we would have those funds available and drawable by the city before we can pull a land disturbing permit,” Armstrong said. City engineer Jack Dawson said he did not have a timeline when the roadway would be upgraded, but said planning work on Stribling would commence on July 1 if not before. “Which means finding a consultant, doing the planning, community outreach, all of the things that go into development of a project of this size,” Dawson said. Charlottesville Mayor Lloyd Snook was persuaded to proceed. “If the neighbors’ concern is that somehow the developer is going to withhold the construction of the community assets until everything else is done, that’s not going to be happening,” Snook said. Armstrong said he is hoping to be under construction within 12 to 18 months. The project will be constructed in 20 phases. Snook said the intersection of Stribling and Jefferson Park Avenue Extended also needs to be improved. “That’s the kind of thing it strikes me as a manageable problem and one that we can continue to work toward for solutions,” Snook said. “It doesn’t seem to me to be an insurmountable problem.” Deputy City Manager Sam Sanders said Council would get an update in the future on how Stribling would be maintained at a time when construction of both 240 Stribling and the upgrade to the street are underway.“We will bring back to you more details on how we will manage this project unlike maybe how we’ve done other projects in the past because this one is such a significantly complicated and somewhat controversial project,” Sanders said. Councilor Michael Payne said the city should be able to better analyze how much economic value a developer gets for lots that are rezoned. “So that we can understand our position vis-a-vis the developer in a situation like this when we are in a way going to be informally negotiating,” Payne said. “I will say I don’t think that we were perhaps were careful in our analysis in setting ourselves up for this.” Payne voted in favor of the rezoning and the agreement, which passed unanimously. Midway Manor Elevator updateFinally today, in Tuesday’s program, there was a section on Council’s approval of the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority’s approval of $23 million in tax-exempt bonds to cover the costs of purchasing and renovating Midway Manor. Councilor Michael Payne had expressed concern about a faulty elevator. I checked in with Standard Communities and received this statement yesterday.“We continue to plan for a comprehensive renovation and upgrade of Midway Manor, which is expected to begin later this year in conjunction with the implementation of extended affordability protections for the property. Recognizing that the elevators were in need of more immediate attention, we have accelerated the modernization of both elevators at the property, with on-site work currently underway. In efforts to minimize disruption to residents, one elevator car is being worked on at a time, with the entire project expected to be complete within the next 8 weeks.” - Steven Kahn, Director, Standard CommunitiesTing will match your initial paid subscription to this newsletter!For one year now, Town Crier Productions has a promo with Ting!

Charlottesville City Council has made an appointment to fill a vacancy on the Charlottesville Planning Commission. The seven-member body is the lead advisory panel on items of land use and planning in the city. Here’s City Councilor Heather Hill making the motion.“I move that City Council appoint Karim Habbab to the Planning Commission,” Hill said. Habbab is an associate architect with BRW Architects, according to a bio on the firm’s website. He is a native of Jordan and the son of two architects. He moved to Charlottesville in 2011 to attend the University of Virginia. Now, let’s go back to the most recent meeting of the Charlottesville Planning Commission from June 9. At the beginning of each meeting, Commissioners give updates from the various committees they are on. William Palmer is a planner with the Office of the Architect at the University of Virginia. He sits on the Planning Commission in a non-voting capacity under the terms of a 1986 agreement. He noted that earlier this month, the Board of Visitors were told of a $50 million gift from Martha and Bruce Karsh to create the Karsh Institute of Democracy. (read the UVA Today story)“That’ll lead probably to another building at the Emmet Ivy corridor to kind of complement what’s already under planning there, the Data Science institute and the hotel and conference center,” Palmer said. According to UVA Today, the building for the Karsh Institute of Democracy will be ready in 2026. The University will match the $50 million gift. Next, Commissioner Jody Lahendro reported from the Tree Commission, which earlier this month signed off on the United States Department of Agriculture’s plan to introduce wasps at the Ragged Mountain Natural Area to fight off infestations of the Emerald Ash Borer. “It’s going to be a five-year study and will be completely funded by the USDA,” Lahendro said. “This is a study that’s actually been ongoing since 2007 and has now been started in over 29 states.”The Planning Commission is next scheduled to meet again on June 29 for a work session on the next steps for the Cville Plans Together initiative. Habbab joins the Planning Commission as one phase of the Comprehensive Plan ends and another moves forward. The comment period on the Future Land Use Map ended June 13.The consultants report that there were at least 1,137 emails, 37 voicemails from 26 individuals, and several signatures to various petition campaigns. Over 220 people left over 700 comments on an interactive version of the Future Land Use Map. Those are now all visible. The June 29 work session will see a timeline for how the rest of the process will play out. Here’s Alexander Ikefuna, the director of Neighborhood Development Services (NDS)“We have enabled staff and the consultant to prepare an informed timeline on how the final draft document makes its way to the Planning Commission and the City Council for joint public hearing and subsequently for the Council for final consideration,” Ikefuna said. A rewrite of the zoning code would begin in full earnest after the Comprehensive Plan is adopted. Planning Commission Chair Hosea Mitchell was clear that the process will take time. “This is a vision document, the Future Land Use Map is a vision document,” Mitchell said. “We are a ways away from rezoning. We are ways away from things like R-1 going away. Based on this vision document, R-1 is not going away.”This review of the Comprehensive Plan began in January 2017 and since then, there has been much turnover and only Commissioners Lahendro and Taneia Dowell are still on the body. Missy Creasy, the deputy director of NDS, offered some perspective on how the process has been intended to be proactive.“The commission really came at this from, ‘something is going to happen to our community, we know that we’re seeing growth and we want to consciously make decisions about how that happens and now allow something to happen to us,’” Creasy said. Stay tuned for June 29. (June 29 meeting info) There’s another meeting happening on June 29 about a topic that is perhaps just as important as a discussion of the Future Land Use Map. It’s definitely related. Charlottesville Area Transit has been working with the Connetics Transportation Group and Kimley-Horn on an update of the system. I’ve reported on the potential changes, as has Allison Wrabel in the Daily Progress in a story from March 1. This event is being held as a general overview of the changes, and two public engagement sessions will be held before Council makes a decision to approve the changes. (meeting info)One of the changes would see Route 8 transferred into a line that would run between the Willoughby Shopping Center on 5th Street extended in Charlottesville to Stonefield. More on transit later on in in this installment. For now, we have to keep moving.In the June 23 installment of this program, we heard a little from the Places29-Hydraulic Community Advisory Committee. I did not include an update from Stonefield mostly because I ran out of time. But before we move on with today’s show, and with the idea of a more direct transit route connecting Stonefield with Charlottesville, let’s hear from Stonefield’s manager Samantha Strong on some recent updates. “We were very excited just in the past few weeks,” Strong said. “We had Sunglass Hut open up their location with us. Splendora from the Downtown Mall has now opened up her location. So get excited. Come get some gelato.”The building that had been occupied by Pier 1 imports will be split into spaces for more than one business.“The first one that will be coming in is Torchy’s Tacos, so get excited for some tacos and margaritas out of Austin, Texas,” Strong said. “And just upcoming we have Ronnie Megginson with Kulture Vibez. We have Team Hair Studios that’s going to be opening up within the next month. And we also have Akira Ramen and Sushi. Those are all going to be opening on the north side.”Strong said the Regal movie theater is open again. She said merchants and business owners are seeing new vibrancy.“May of 2021 for some of them was actually the best month of sales they have had ever since they opened,” Strong said. The Friends of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library are having a Warehouse Sale at Albemarle Square Shopping Center (300 Albemarle Square) Friday, July 9 through Sunday, July 11 from 10 to 6 each day. There will be Fiction, Mysteries, SciFi and Fantasy, Cookbooks, Military, Biographies and YA and Children’s Books There will be a capacity limit of 80 shoppers. Proceeds benefit our regional public library system, JMRL, serving Charlottesville, Albemarle, Greene, Louisa and Nelson.Now on to more from the Charlottesville City Council meeting from Monday, June 21, 2021. City Manager Chip Boyles said notices has been given to nearby battlefields and museums notifying them of the city’s interest in getting rid of two Confederate statues that are currently in city parks. Three responses of interest had been received by Monday. “Two are in state, and one from out of state,” Boyles said. Boyles said City Hall is expecting to return to normal operations in September. “At which time, all public meetings, boards and commissions will begin to meet in person,” Boyles said. In the past fifteen months, government meetings have moved online. Vice Mayor Sena Magill wondered if staff could be allowed to appear at meetings remotely rather than be present in Council Chambers.“I want to take whatever positives we can from this pandemic and provide as much flexibility as technology allows,” Magill said. Boyles said that he thought that would be possible.“Our understanding right now is that in the case of City Council the elected officials will have to be physically present but staff could do either,” Boyles said.Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker said she wanted to limit the number of people in Chambers out of continued health concerns.“We’re talking about that time of year,” Walker said. “It’s going to be flu season picking up, regular colds in that fall and winter season so hopefully by then there will be some changes to how they are looking at this from a federal and state level.”Interviews for the Director of Neighborhood Development Services position began today. Later in the meeting, there was a public hearing on appropriations of $5.3 million in supplemental funds for Charlottesville Area Transit. Garland Williams is the director of CAT. “What we have is a combination of capital and operating dollars,” Williams said. “The capital is $4.32 million which will allow us to buy rolling stock which means buses, support vehicles.” About $630,000 transfers through to Jaunt for their services. Councilor Michael Payne asked if the eleven buses planned for purchase were to build capacity or replace an aging fleet. Four of them are new vehicles and the rest are replacements. They will all be diesel engines, but Williams said future purchases could use alternative fuels.“We are actually undertaking a study that will allow us to see whether we should be looking at doing whether it is [Compressed Natural Gas] or electric vehicles of a combination of the two,” Williams said. “The electric vehicle component for transit is coming and its coming quickly but its relatively new.”Williams estimated there would be enough testing and experience with electric transit fleets for the technology to become more widespread. One issue in this community is the topography and the need for a drivetrain that power up hills. No one spoke at the public hearing. This is a public episode.

In this episode Britt and Alissa both happen to have found stories that occur at idyllic homesteads on opposite sides of the country. Britt’s tale describes the night a dark energy stalked and poorly serenaded her mother Debbie during a visit to MawMaw's house in Splendora, Texas in the 1970s. Was it a ghost? A demon? A vampire? You be the judge. Alissa then reads a story sent in by Katie, a dear listener and friend, who tells of strange experiences at her grandparent’s house at the base of Mt. Watatic in Ashby, Massachusetts. Built in 1750, the gorgeous old home is rumored to have been a stop on the underground railroad and is said to be haunted by a sad old ghost by the name of Mr. Barker, who could use a lesson on social distancing.We want to hear your stories!

Our guest this week, Gina Pell, was the inspiration for everything happening here at Mean. She came up with the concept of Perennials, and when I read her article Meet the Perennials, I knew I had an audience. The idea that a demographic can be about more than the year you were born struck a chord. Perennials are ever-blooming people of all ages who continue to push up against their growing edge, always relevant, and not defined by their generation. Mean has shifted since then to focus mostly on women at mid-age, but Pell is as inspiring as ever. She's been a tech entrepreneur since the 90s when she founded Splendora, which was eventually acquired by Joyus. She's currently Content Chief of The What, a vibrant community as well as an email newsletter that provides five eclectic, curious things you should know about every week including books, health tips, life, style, travel, and tech.Listen in on our conversation to learn how she's weathering the pandemic, what inspired the concept of Perennials, how women can get Jack Nicholson sexy, and lots more.

Gluten-Free Work. Welcome to a conversation about bread, community, and how one small business owner is trying to tie those two things together. Susan Weiner of Orange Dot Baking Company, with her gluten-free Major Muffins, wants to not only provide a delicious bread to folks suffering from celiac disease but also hopes to provide job training for folks in our community who so desperately need it. Betty Hoge of the Central Virginia Small Business Development Center recommended Susan and after speaking with her I'm so glad this recommendation came my way. We recorded in the conference room of the Community Investment Collaborative where Susan is a graduate, and I will be taking part in their next class series on developing a business. Can't think of a better place to talk about food, community, and doing it your own way. Programs like CIC can walk you through the nuts and bolts of starting a small business from the ground up. Aligning your lofty goals with the realities of running a successful business. Something Susan was driven to do as a way to give back to her community and also to make delicious bread for folks who cannot tolerate gluten. Folks like her son and herself. Despite the gluten-free backlash, there are millions of folks out there who can't eat bread but would like to. Susan fills that gap. And she truly does. This isn't cardboard folks. Major Muffins have the texture of bread, the flavor of bread. On first bite I was reminded of a really great seeded whole grain. If you hadn't told me it was gluten-free I never would've guessed. The Rustic Rosemary tastes great, and the Chocolate Chip made with French Callebaut chocolate? Extraordinary! Six other varieties including Everything Better, Cinnamon Raisin, and Santa Fe Savory hit every flavor profile. Great on their own or toasted. Serve with wedges of cheese. Make a sandwich. Anything you would use a seeded cracker for is a perfect vehicle. You can find Major Muffins at many retail outlets including Market Street Market and Rebecca's Natural Foods. Buy a sandwich at Bellair Market, or eat one of her delicious creations (try the Figgy Piggy!) at the Charlottesville City Market. There are ten grams of protein per muffin because it's made with high protein flours like oat flour, oat bran, quinoa, amaranth and other ancient grains. Xanthan gum and guar gum are not to be found because of its tendency to upset stomachs. Instead, she uses ground chia seed and powdered psyllium husk which adds fiber. All good stuff. Her development process was extensive involving lots of trial and error, tastings and testings, even custom-baked pans developed by a local company working in the air and space industry! Her secret proprietary baking process is the major reason Major Muffins taste so great. Virginia Tech, a land grant institution and active leader in the local food innovation business, helped Susan with nutritional testing. Janet Dob, co-owner of The Bageladies, helped with suggestions for packaging. Pair that with Susan's CIC training and you've got a company made in this region, by this region, for this region and beyond. Orange Dot is named after the Orange Dot Report written by Ridge Schuyler and Great Stone Bakery of Ben and Jerry's fame, which has an open-hiring policy and who work to alleviate poverty in their own community. Susan envisions a similar company goal, one with a quadruple bottom line: social, environmental, financial, and nutritional. It's a way to wrap all of her passions together into one. Ultimate goal? To have an Orange Dot Bakery in every single major American city so she can impact folks who are gluten-free as well as those who need work, providing a source of job training for those folks on the first rung of the economic ladder. Future plans? Frozen sandwiches you can pop in the microwave, french toast, and mini-pizzas. Perfect for an instant lunch or for shipping care packages to college kids who don't get the nutrition they need. Subscription services are the way of the future, something Splendora's and Arley Cakes have started recently. Both companies past and future podcast guests respectively. A lactose-free version is in development. Susan would also like to get Major Muffins into restaurants. Are you listening Citizen Burger Bar? We also talk about Susan's other joint venture with Ian Pascarelli and Allie Hill, The Kitchen Network, a way for food businesses to rent a commercial kitchen Airbnb-style. What a fantastic idea! Forbes magazine has profiled them. The future of food business starting right here in Charlottesville. Enjoy the ambient sounds of me chewing almost every variety of Major Muffin...then go get some for yourself. Cheers!

Spice Work. Can a spice store be a community gathering place? It can. Meet Phyllis Hunter of The Spice Diva. This former opera singer turned shop owner has been bringing people together over their shared love of spices since opening her shop in The Main Street Market in 2011. The Spice Diva is not only a source for fresh and unusual spices for local chefs, bartenders, and food enthusiasts, but a way for community members from other countries to find reminders from home. Her cooking classes bring folks together over the stove and her vast, ever-growing spice knowledge is reminding us all about the value of buying fresh, buying local. Her shop, located in a well-loved but underappreciated part of town, expands our views about the world over a shared love of food and flavor. How can we make sure West Main Street remains a vital part of the community and its members remain in the conversation with regard to beneficial development and growth? We talk about that. The Midtown Street Fair was my favorite event of the year, not only for the food but for the broad swath of folks who attended. Can we bring it back? How do we include every neighborhood in the conversation when it comes to festivals and development benefitting the entire community, not just students and tourists? How do we help the homeless population in a way benefitting their needs as well as the needs of business owners? We cover that too. Smell is such a powerful sense. Instantly you're transported to a different place and time. It's just one of the reasons Phyllis discovered her passion in food was spice. After walking into the Oxbow City Market in San Francisco she was transfixed. And knew in an instant we had to have something like that here in Charlottesville. Did fate cause her to go into that spice shop? Whatever it was, we're the lucky ones. In her new, much larger space Phyllis has the resources to offer even more gathering opportunities: cooking classes, tastings, book signings, whatever you can think of related to teaching the endless knowledge around herbs, spices, and teas. In addition to all this, The Spice Diva carries salts and peppers, oils and vinegars, Belgian chocolate, cocktail bitters and syrups, as well as the famous Habiba Sauce and salad dressing from Aroma's. She'll soon carry gelato from Splendora's and the saffron from Rumi Spice is a collaboration with a nonprofit that benefits Afghan saffron farmers. Her patrons including area chefs and bartenders from Brazos Tacos, Michael's Bistro, Tavola, Revolutionary Soup, Ten, Alley Light, Feast!, and Mountain Culture Kombucha cement the fact this shop is a gathering place for the entire Charlottesville food community. Chef Harrison Keevil from Brookville came in while we were talking! Like many grocery store foods, spices and salts are processed with preservatives added to keep them fresh. So the good stuff comes out and nutrients like iodine get added back in, Morton's salt being just one example. Everything at The Spice Diva is Kosher and Halal, as well as additive-free with no MSG or anti-caking agents. Spices start to lose their flavor after two weeks with nuances of flavor decreasing over time. The Spice Diva turns over half the shop every week, so you can be sure everything you buy is at peak flavor and freshness, without preservatives. Why is she an advocate for buying local? How does having fresh and unusual spices change the way you cook? What are the additional revenue streams she uses to keep her business viable and thriving? What is berbere spice and why are local foodies clamoring for it? What is Relay Foods and how does their locally-based "Blue Apron"-type service work? What are the wonderful origins behind her logo? We talk about it all. I love how Phyllis is using spice to bring people together for teachable moments. Not just about flavors and where they originate, but about expanding the whole notion of what it means to buy local. It's so much more than going to the farmer's market. Everyone uses spice even if it's just the salt they sprinkle on a hardboiled egg. The day I interviewed Phyllis in her store all I saw was smiling faces. You smell cinnamon, or nutmeg, or clove and you feel joy. It reminds you of home and hearth. Of good times. Spices cross cultures. Cumin is used in India, Mexico, Africa. You find curries not just in Asia and India but in Africa and early American cookbooks from the 19th century. Spice as community. I like it. And I think you'll like this episode. Cheers. SHOW NOTES - Links to resources talked about during the podcast: Cooking Classes at The Spice Diva! - Area food historians, butchers, and chefs teach you the basics, culinary history, and how to implement spices in your kitchen.

In this episode, meet a woman with a degree in Biology (with a concentration in Molecular Genomics!) who bought a gelato store. Splendora's Gelato ain't ice cream. Nor is it frozen yogurt. No dump and mix here. No ice cream dasher which adds air. Gelato is a fantabulously rich, thick, decadent frozen concoction from Italy which makes all the rest look like amateurs. An awesome conversation touching on subjects like the concept of FOMO as it relates to gelato. What's FOMO? Look it up. I had to LOL! We also discussed savory gelatos, how owner P.K. Ross creates her unique flavors, what challenges are faced by women-owned businesses today, and beer. Learn the story of the day she signed the papers for Splendora's. It's a great one. Is a good palate something you're born with? Or can it be developed? What's her most popular flavor? What region of Italy is on her bucket list to travel to someday? Are there some ingredients that just don't work in gelato because of its cold nature? Who gave her the idea for her popular goat cheese, honey, and fig gelato? Her most surprisingly popular flavor?
