Recently the New York Supreme Court judge ruled that New York City's vaccine mandate was arbitrary and capricious, determining that 16 plaintiffs deserve their jobs back along with back pay. The "Garvey decision" is the most important victory yet for NYC workers fighting the city’s vaccine mandate, but according to independent journalist Aimee, "it’s on ice while it waits to go to an appeals court. Whether it stands on appeal or another similarly broad case succeeds will have life-changing impacts on thousands of New Yorkers and also have national relevance with the precedents and norms it sets."

We have several refrigerators and freezers (as do most farmers), and for a while, the goat milk and eggs were in the same one. Recently however, I have turned the temperature down several degrees so it is barely above freezing so as to rapidly chill the milk and keep it very cold in order to extend its shelf life. However, as maintaining our fridge temperature is not a perfect science, we have had several moments of discovering frozen food and liquids in the fridge - never the milk - but for instance, celery juice. Then we discovered a frozen egg. I have since separated the eggs into a new refrigerator so they are no longer with the milk. We had fun peeling the frozen egg and examining it! Our dog, Zinnia, was very happy to help taste test. There is no life like the farm dog life! I did do a search and learned that it is safe to eat an egg that has frozen after thawing it, though not recommended if the egg has cracked.
Everyone who has chickens knows the struggle toward maintaining enough egg cartons, always asking friends to save theirs and bring them by. I was just thinking how I’d need some more when I drove by unknown trash on the side of the road. It looked like it might be egg cartons so I pulled over and sure enough - yes! 🙌 It was worth all the stares I got. Has this happened to you? What is something you needed and fortuitously found?
Whoever invented tabbouleh is a genius. I started making it because our local regenerative produce farm, Growing Back to Eden, has the most beautiful parsley. I had no idea how healthy it is! Parsley is a vitamin K super green, not to mention it’s packed with so many other nutrients. It makes regular salad greens look lazy. I opt out of the bulgar wheat and just use tomatoes, onion and mint. Back when I bought tabbouleh, I’d notice it was often made with cheaper oils like sunflower or canola. I use olive oil and a dash of sea salt. It’s so easy and if you make a lot at once, it holds pretty well in the fridge for a week.
