For centuries, Sundays saw people queued up for church. Now those same lineups are outside pubs and restaurants, even on the coldest winter days. We talk to @ManxPub and @jmdgeo about brunch as the new religion: https://t.co/YEMEfCZaOu

@1darkblonde @Edible_Ottawa That's very interesting! It's rare, but I have seen folks (often chefs/restauranteurs) tip kitchen staff directly.

What about just buying less? The impacts of our frenzied shopping habits: online, express and in-store #consumerism #BlackFriday

@sarah_J_allen I know it has been several months, but did you find what you were looking for? If not, let me know! I have some ideas...

[Jessie Duffy @jmdgeo]

@Unionlocal613 @Writersfest And to you. What a fine community we have here.

[Jessie Duffy @jmdgeo]

Just wrapped up a rap session with a chef-wizard named Lepine! Thanks @Writersfest for inviting me to host!

[OttPubLib/BibPubOtt @opl_bpo]

Fascinating conversation between Chef Lepine and Jessie Duffy @jmdgeo about his favourite kitchen tool: liquid nitrogen - more than 200 litres are used a week at Atelier 😱❄️

We're very excited about @Bridgehead's Buena Vista Fundraiser blend because a) it’s delicious and b) it helps women coffee farmers in Honduras to improve the quality of their coffee — and their quality of life. ☕ https://t.co/2rf54hJVpw

Not a morsel of food touches our lips without first casting off some amount of plastic. After 30 years of cling-wrapping and hand-wringing, I finally had the opportunity to write about my inner turmoil about this polymer mess we’re in for the latest issue of @Edible_Ottawa

Some unsavoury truths for the burgeoning #vegan movement : swaths of soy and corn aren’t the answer to a sustainable future — it’s eating a little meat from farms that promote #diversity and #soilhealth https://t.co/uE0mnv20Ek

And it’s finally happened! Those “ghost writers of science” must be feeling mighty spooked right about now. #monsanto

Jury rules Monsanto 'Roundup' weed killer product was "substantial factor" in causing harm to groundskeeper Dewayne Johnson, who has terminal cancer; awards more than $250,000,000 in damages. https://t.co/JsIT5Tj4uQ - @NBCNews

Now that’s a beautiful thing.

Another Ontario brewery’s reaction to buck-a-beer: @dominioncitybc in Ottawa. #onpoli

[deBeauxOs @deBeauxOs1]

#BoycottBuckaBeer breweries. It's the only way to send a message to the vile @fordnation that cutting education, mental health services, clean energy, govt accountability and oversight and that using our taxes for corporate welfare is NOT what we voted for. #onpoli

[Adam Vettorel @adamvettorel]

Articles by “industry insiders” telling you the “tricks” restaurants use to get you to spend more $ drive me crazy. The server is recommending the crudo because it’s delicious and perfect for a hot summer day. It’s not a scam. Your phone bill is a scam. Complain about that.

You know what millenials should kill next? Lawns. Lawns suck. In high school, I convinced my family to let me tear ours up and replace it with wildflowers. Now it requires minimal maintenance AND attracts tons of birds and native pollinators #wildlifehabitat #birds #greenliving

@deBeauxOs1 @CJartisan @2amandalynn2 @FBorgal @MoggyBee @mclabradore @kirstenduke @jghndrsn @lkeal022 @BlakeStrachan @Beechwoodfm Sounds like we could use a community seed bank/library for Vanier!

[Jessie Duffy @jmdgeo]

@deBeauxOs1 @2amandalynn2 @FBorgal @MoggyBee @mclabradore @kirstenduke @jghndrsn @lkeal022 @BlakeStrachan @Beechwoodfm Yup! I attended an agroecology talk with @USCCanada last year and picked up a seed sample. I grew out the four seeds to about 50. The Hubbard seeds were collected from a squash purchased through @RootsShootsFarm I believe.

[Jessie Duffy @jmdgeo]

@deBeauxOs1 @2amandalynn2 @FBorgal @MoggyBee @mclabradore @kirstenduke @jghndrsn @lkeal022 @BlakeStrachan @Beechwoodfm I have some Hubbard squash, and Dragon Tongue bean seeds. All saved, hopefully viable. Free to a good home!

[Jessie Duffy @jmdgeo]

Neighbourly things just keep on happening! #vanier https://t.co/0b6ip5mEPh

@FBorgal @MoggyBee @jmdgeo @mclabradore @kirstenduke @jghndrsn @lkeal022 @BlakeStrachan @deBeauxOs1 Hey, since I have Vanier twitter in a loop now, is there anyone who would like to garden but doesn't have the space? I have a small garden patch, but we'll be away all of August. Need someone to co-garden with to keep an eye on things while we are gone (& split yield, of course!)

[Jessie Duffy @jmdgeo]

@Edible_Ottawa @MandiLunan @EdibleOttawa @jamiekronick @Jessie_Duffy We need to negotiate some handle swaps.

[Jessie Duffy @jmdgeo]

My latest piece for Ottawa Magazine is about my beloved, raw and real hood of Vanier — and yes, I still wind up writing about food. #neighbours #vanier https://t.co/V1EC8xRV7L
