Black Bottom and Paradise Valley in Detroit are just two examples of the destruction of Black communities and businesses in America. Black owned homes, businesses and churches were flattened in the name of "Urban Renewal" and "Slum Clearance".
These were walkable urban centers of commerce and housing in the center of the city. The income and generational wealth from those houses and businesses should be in the hands of African-Americans in downtown Detroit. Instead we have I-75. Destruction of these neighborhoods not only stole uncountable wealth from black communities, it increased car dependence by removing walkable neighborhoods in favor of high speed roads that were no longer crossable on foot.

PBS: Israel opened 2024 with what could be a major shift in the war, announcing it's withdrawing several thousand troops from Gaza. Amid the fighting, Israel's Supreme Court rejected a key part of Prime Minister Netanyahu's judicial overhaul. The plan sparked deep divisions, but they've largely been put aside since Hamas attacked on Oct. 7. Geoff Bennett discussed more with NPR's Daniel Estrin.#news #PBS #headline https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/what-the-ruling-against-netanyahus-judiciary-overhaul-means-for-israel-and-war-in-gaza

Decent #Toronto people shut down the biggest mall in #Ontario (The Eation’s centre) on all the major shopping days over the holidays demanding a #ceasefire and it barely made the news, if at all on some stations.

Ya, I've got quite the inventory of several varieties of heirloom tomato seeds. Love love love to swap seeds! ...which is why the only reason I'm still on Facebook is my seed swap group, the Marvelous Monarch Seed Swap Network.
@LALegault
Aha! Good on ya! I have yet to grow tomatillos and Ima gonna put that on the list of seeds to get this spring...although I'm a seed saver, and I've got enough seeds year to year to go without buying much by way of new seed, and still have extra to donate to the local seed library.
@LALegault
I can relate. Food prices are crazy high even here in the States--they're like that pretty much everywhere--I've started growing my own groceries again.
I used to do that years ago and had to get 2 chest freezers to hold it all and still have some to give away to the neighbors. I quit because the climate got too hostile to growing even with the irrigation lines I installed. Nobody's got it easy, anywhere.
I've still utilized both freezers for the purpose of buying stuff when a price on something falls to what used to pass as regular price, buy a bulk of it and freeze it for the year...like the turkeys for Thanksgiving. Bought 6 that were over 20lbs only to find they all had excess water weight added (Butterball).
Beef is still astronomical, even the ground type.
Pork is high but not as bad as beef, and chicken has come down off its bird flu scarcity tho it's still not what it used to be.
Anyway, that's how I'm managing. I've got a winter garden patch but only for cold-tolerant veggies and there are 3 tomato vines that are still hanging in there from summer...but that's a veggie that's extra picky about conditions for producing. They're not gonna produce under current conditions.

There are strategies around "cooking everything from scratch" but the strategy requires an additional chest freezer: cook once one large batch then freeze it in individual servings if you have just you to feed. Freeze it in the number of servings you need to serve a certain number of people.
Repeat for other batches of other dishes for variety. Cooking just on the weekend while producing a whole week of meals until the next weekend is a good start.

The Canadian media is blaming Canadian’s lack of cooking skills for why they can’t appropriately adjust to food insecurity (not the monopoly of grocery stores by the super-villains we have as grocers). It is not 1950 anymore and we don’t have all day to bake everything from scratch. Omg. I can’t even.
