It has become an annual tradition for me to help Antonia put together her farmer's market booth, where she sells all of the fruits, vegetables, and homemade goods that her family's community farm has produced over the past year. Every year, the harvest brings more and more goods. But this autumn, she has outgrown the farmer's market, and is now selling at a roadside stand!

Antonia is ten years old in 1978, when she is inspired by the American Indian Movement to help establish a community farm on land her family owns. It's been a huge success. It has strengthened bonds between friends and neighbors as they all care for each other and make sure that nobody goes hungry.

Whatever is left over after everyone is fed, is then sold at the roadside stand. Antonia is also supplementing with a few special handmade extras that help bring in a little more money. The money will help pay for everything needed to help Snow Mountain Farm grow bigger and better.

Antonia is so proud of what the fields and orchards have grown.

Just look at the size of some of these pumpkins!

Under the cut, Antonia will give you an up-close look at what she's selling....

Everything seen here was either made by me, harvested from the wild, or purchased. (See if you can guess which ones were handmade/bought/gathered!)

The gourd and squash harvest was abundant this year. Antonia managed to coax the garden into producing a few giant pumpkins.

Lots of other fruits thrived as well!

Pears are new this year.

Beautiful pink plums are also new.

Apples are a returning favorite. There are three varieties this year: sweet yellow apples, tart green apples, and a red striped variety that has its own unique flavor.

In the front row are apples, plums, chiles, and pears. On the shelf there are fresh flowers and packaged seeds, various fruit jams, honey, apple cider, dried ground herbs, potted herb seedlings, packaged seeds, and bottles of apple cider.

Up on the shelf there are several varieties of jam: rose petal, peach, grape, prickly pear, and strawberry. Next to them is honey that the farm's bees made from the local wildflowers. The apple cider is made from apples grown in the farm's orchard.

One particular farmer is very gifted in the art of raising flowers. Here you can buy fresh cut flowers, or seedlings for your own garden.

Fruit and vegetable seedlings or seeds are also for sale.

On the checkout counter, Antonia is selling popcorn and apple cider donuts. Directly below the donuts are cartons of eggs, which include white, brown, and speckled eggs.

Below the checkout counter is the small shelf offering some smaller items. In the plastic bags are freshly made tamales, which are like dumplings of meat, veggies, beans, or cheese mixed with a corn dough and steamed inside corn husks. To the right are two wheels of goat's milk cheese. In the middle are skeins of yarn dyed with natural sources, like prickly pear fruits and cabbage leaves. Next to those are bars of soap, in sagebrush or rose petal scent. And on the right end of the shelf are bagged pine nuts, gathered from the wild.

Below that is more produce! On the left, colored corn. In the crates there are potatoes, cherries, strawberries, tomatoes, peaches, and cauliflower.

Antonia is especially proud of the fancy colored corn she has grown. It's fun to open the ears and see what colors the kernels are!

Next to that are giant sunflowers. Above that are the pretty gourds and squashes.

On the bench are some lovely watermelons. And surrounding those are even more pumpkins and squash!

These, too, emerged in all sorts of different colors and shapes. Antonia lets the different varieties cross pollinate, so that the appearances of the resulting pumpkins are a surprise.

Thanks for stopping by! Here, take a sunflower home with you!

Navigating Nutrition Labels, Tips for Making Informed Food Choices

Nutrition labels are crucial tools for consumers to make informed decisions about their food choices. With an increasing focus on health and wellness, understanding how to decipher these labels is more important than ever. In this blog, we'll explore how to navigate nutrition labels effectively, using the example of protein bars.

Understanding Nutrition Labels:

Before delving into specifics, it's essential to grasp the basics of nutrition labels. These labels provide valuable information about the contents of packaged foods, including serving size, calories, macronutrients (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats), micronutrients (like vitamins and minerals), and ingredients. By carefully reviewing these details, consumers can assess the nutritional value of a product and determine if it aligns with their dietary goals and preferences.

Deciphering Serving Sizes:

One of the primary aspects of a nutrition label is the serving size. This indicates the amount of food typically consumed in one sitting and serves as a reference point for the other nutritional information listed. It's important to note that the serving size may not always match your portion size, so be mindful of adjusting the values accordingly.

Analyzing Macronutrients:

Macronutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, play essential roles in our diet and overall health. When examining a nutrition label, pay attention to the grams of each macronutrient per serving. For protein bars, the protein content is of particular interest, as it contributes to muscle repair and satiety. Look for bars with a significant protein content and minimal added sugars and unhealthy fats.

Evaluating Calories:

Calories provide energy for our bodies, but it's crucial to consume them in moderation, especially if you're watching your weight. Be mindful of the calorie count listed on nutrition labels and consider how it fits into your daily calorie intake goals. Opt for protein bars that offer a balance between calories and nutritional value, avoiding those with excessive amounts of added sugars or empty calories.

Assessing Ingredients:

Beyond the nutritional breakdown, examining the ingredient list is key to understanding the quality of a product. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, meaning those listed first are present in the highest amounts. Look for protein bars with whole food ingredients, such as nuts, seeds, and natural sweeteners like honey or dates, while avoiding those with artificial additives, preservatives, and excessive amounts of refined sugars.

Navigating Added Sugars and Sweeteners:

Many protein bars contain added sugars or artificial sweeteners to enhance flavor. While some amount of sweetness is acceptable, excessive sugar consumption can contribute to various health issues, including obesity and diabetes. Keep an eye out for hidden sugars in ingredient lists, such as high-fructose corn syrup, maltose, or dextrose, and aim for bars with minimal added sugars or those made sweeter using natural substitutes like monk fruit extract or stevia.

Considering Fiber Content:

Fiber is an essential nutrient that supports digestive health, promotes satiety, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. When choosing protein bars, look for options with a respectable amount of dietary fiber, preferably from sources like nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Adequate fiber content can aid in digestion and keep you feeling full and satisfied between meals.

Looking Beyond the Hype:

Marketing claims and packaging can often be misleading, so it's essential to look beyond the flashy labels and catchy slogans. Don't be swayed by claims like "all-natural" or "low-fat" without thoroughly examining the nutritional information and ingredient list. Instead, focus on the facts presented in the nutrition label to make an informed decision about whether a product aligns with your dietary preferences and goals.

Practical Tips for Choosing Protein Bars:

Prioritize protein content: Aim for bars with at least 10 grams of protein per serving to support muscle repair and satiety.

Watch out for added sugars: Opt for bars with minimal added sugars or those sweetened with natural alternatives.

Look for whole food ingredients: Choose bars made with wholesome ingredients like nuts, seeds, and natural sweeteners.

Check the fiber content: Select bars with a decent amount of dietary fiber to promote digestive health and fullness.

Consider your dietary needs: Whether you're vegan, gluten-free, or following a specific diet, choose protein bars that align with your dietary restrictions and preferences.

Conclusion:

Navigating nutrition labels can empower consumers to make informed food choices that support their health and wellness goals. By understanding how to decipher these labels effectively and apply critical thinking to marketing claims, you can confidently select protein bars and other packaged foods that contribute to a balanced and nutritious diet. Remember to prioritize protein content, watch out for added sugars, and choose bars with wholesome ingredients to fuel your body optimally. With these tips in mind, you'll be equipped to make smarter choices in the grocery aisle and on your journey towards better health.

Shrimp Boil Bash: Your Ultimate Guide

There's something truly special about a shrimp boil bash – an irresistible blend of savory seafood, zesty spices, and the delightful camaraderie of friends and family. Whether you're planning your first shrimp boil or looking to up your shrimp game, this ultimate guide will equip you with everything you need to create an unforgettable shrimp boil bash. From selecting the freshest shrimp to mastering the art of seasoning, we've got you covered. Plus, we'll address the frequently asked question: "Is shrimp halal?" Read on for a deep dive into the world of shrimp boils.

The Shrimp Selection

To kick off your shrimp boil bash on the right foot, you need to start with the star of the show – the shrimp. The choice between fresh or frozen shrimp can significantly impact your boil's overall taste and texture.

Fresh shrimp are a premium choice for those aiming for the freshest, most succulent seafood. They offer a delightful crunch and a sweet, briny flavor that's hard to beat. When selecting fresh shrimp, look for ones that are firm, translucent, and free of any fishy odor. For extra assurance of quality, buy from a reputable seafood market.

On the other hand, frozen shrimp can be a convenient and budget-friendly option. To ensure the best flavor and texture, opt for IQF (individually quick-frozen) shrimp, which preserves the shrimp's natural sweetness. Thaw them properly in the refrigerator for the best results.

Spice it Up: Seasoning Your Shrimp Boil

The key to a memorable shrimp boil bash is the seasoning. The spices and herbs you choose will infuse your boil with layers of flavor and aroma. Here's a classic shrimp boil seasoning recipe to get you started:

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of Old Bay seasoning

1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon of paprika

2 teaspoons of dried thyme

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of onion powder

4 bay leaves

Salt to taste

Mix these ingredients together to create your shrimp boil spice blend. Adjust the level of cayenne pepper to match your desired spice level. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices like lemon zest, coriander seeds, or mustard seeds for a unique twist.

Preparing the Pot

For a traditional shrimp boil bash, you'll need a large pot or a Cajun crab boil pot. This vessel should be able to accommodate all your ingredients comfortably. Fill it with enough water to cover the contents and bring it to a rolling boil.

Now, it's time to introduce your flavor base. Classic ingredients include whole lemons, onions, garlic cloves, and, of course, your homemade seasoning mix. These aromatic elements will infuse your shrimp with irresistible flavors.

Adding the Essentials

No shrimp boil bash is complete without the essentials. Here's a list of must-have ingredients to complement your shrimp:

Potatoes: Red or Yukon Gold potatoes are popular choices, as they hold up well during boiling. Cut them into manageable chunks for easy eating.

Corn: Fresh, sweet corn on the cob adds a delightful sweetness to your boil. Chop the cobs into halves or thirds for sharing.

Sausage: Andouille or smoked sausage is a traditional choice. Slice it into bite-sized pieces to mingle with the shrimp and vegetables.

Shrimp: Add your selected shrimp to the boiling pot. Keep a close eye on them – they cook quickly and will turn pink when ready.

Timing is Everything

Achieving the perfect shrimp boil requires precise timing. Begin by adding the ingredients that take the longest to cook – potatoes and corn. Let them simmer for about 10-15 minutes until they start to soften.

Next, introduce the sausage slices. They require less cooking time, so give them around 5-7 minutes in the pot.

Finally, it's time to add the shrimp. Remember, shrimp cook incredibly fast, usually within 2-4 minutes. You'll know they're done when they turn a vibrant pinkish-orange hue. Overcooking can result in rubbery shrimp, so be vigilant!

Serving Your Shrimp Boil Bash

The beauty of a shrimp boil bash lies in its communal and rustic presentation. Drain the cooked ingredients, and spread them out on a long, sturdy table lined with newspaper or butcher paper. This setup encourages guests to dig in with their hands, creating an interactive dining experience.

For a true Gulf Coast touch, consider serving your shrimp boil with melted butter, cocktail sauce, and a side of crusty French bread for sopping up the flavorful juices.

Is Shrimp ethical ?

A frequently asked question, especially among those adhering to dietary guidelines, is whether shrimp is halal. The answer to this question can be complex and may vary depending on individual interpretations.

In Islamic dietary laws, halal refers to food that is permissible for Muslims to consume. However, the acceptability of shrimp as halal is a topic of debate within the Muslim community. Some Islamic scholars argue that certain types of seafood, including shrimp, are halal, while others suggest they are not.

To ensure that your shrimp boil bash aligns with halal dietary guidelines, it's advisable to consult with a trusted religious authority or scholar who can provide guidance based on your specific dietary requirements and beliefs.

Conclusion

A shrimp boil bash is a celebration of flavors, friendship, and the joy of gathering around a communal table. With the right shrimp selection, seasoning, and preparation, you can create an unforgettable seafood feast that will have your guests coming back for more.

Remember, the key to a successful shrimp boil is attention to detail and precise timing. So gather your ingredients, spice it up, and let the good times roll. Your shrimp boil bash is sure to become a cherished tradition among friends and family.

Enjoy your seafood extravaganza, and savor every moment of this delicious and communal dining experience. Whether you're by the coast or miles away, a shrimp boil bash brings the taste of the sea right to your table.

In My San Diego Garden and Kitchen

Corn is the noteworthy harvest of the past week. We’ve had ears of corn for dinner five nights. ‘Sugar Pearl’ is a favorite, obtained from Renee’s Garden but also available elsewhere. The thumbnail above shows the last of the first planting and these are the smaller, secondary ears.

Here are a few of the first ears harvested. The catalog description does not overstate its virtues.

Our favorite early white for top eating quality. Sugar Pearl’s fast-growing, vigorous stalks grow just 5 to 5 1/2 feet tall, producing delicious ears of pearly white sweet kernels with that delicate, meltingly tender flavor that characterizes really delicious white corn. Sugar Pearl was bred for specialty and farmers markets where taste is the prime criteria for success. This trouble-free and reliable variety is ideal for short or early season growing, ripening succulent ears before most other white varieties.

No raccoons and no worms with the corn so far this year. No worms I can attribute to mineral oil at first appearance of the silk and weekly sprays of BT to the silk.

I speculated that a haphazard grid of bamboo might deter some well-fed raccoons, which can be the size of small to medium dogs in our ‘hood. To further discourage interest in the corn I sprinkled a horrid smelling mixture of donated peppery spices around the plants. I also doused the bed with Plantskydd granules which has diverted the opossums from making Swiss cheese of our small front lawn. I also used the peppery mix and Plantskydd outside the fence on the alley from whence the critters come. Bird spikes atop the wood fence also make the entry problematic for them.

Perhaps, TMI but we do like our corn and with only a 4 x 8 foot patch, we’re unwilling to share with four-legged friends. The second planting, two weeks later should be ready in a week or so as the 70 day mark approaches.

Only one tomato so far and it didn’t deserve a photo. Several days of this weather last week did not hasten the tomato and pepper crops. I have hopes for some black cherry tomatoes in a week or so and the bell peppers are larger but I’m holding out for red peppers. Corn and beans for drying don’t seem to suffer but the cucumbers have made an early exit.

We get a handful of Emerite pole beans every few days but I’m letting most set seed now. The zucchini yields one or two a day as I remove the powdery mildewed leaves.

The day-neutral Seascape strawberries produce an odd-lot even into September. Though small in number, they are red all through and sweet additions to fruit salads.

A Tropical Storm Hilary “harvest” was a bevy of pine needs from a favorite secluded stone pine tree on a nearby college campus. I find them especially useful for a winter vegetable garden mulch.

These days there are usually a couple bouquets of Red Queen Lime zinnias in the house. I’m enchanted by the color variations and their sweet simplicity.

Check the What I’m Planting Now page as I begin soon to sow seeds for the cool season garden. Head today to Harvest Monday, hosted by Dave at Happy Acres blog and see what garden bloggers around the world harvested last week.

Bulk Sweetener: Sugar Packets, Sucralose, Saccharin, & More

However, for many different meals sorts corresponding to baking goods, a sugar kind must be used with a finer consistency. Powdered sugars exist within the particle measurement vary all the way down to several tens of micrometers and these are used as an finish product as well as in candies, toppings, other sweets or meals products in general, similar to tomato sauces, pastes, and extra. Especially with smaller particle sizes, an anticaking agent typically must be launched, in some circumstances, a type of starch like cornstarch or Tricalcium phosphate is added. Made with CareAvailable in bulk ingredient kind in fifty five gallon drums, totes, and tankers, our natural liquid sugar is of course gluten-free and Non-GMO.

Syrup from the evaporators is shipped to vacuum pans, the place it is further evaporated, under vacuum, to supersaturation. Fine seed crystals are added, and the sugar “mother liquor” yields a strong precipitate of about 50 % by weight crystalline sugar. The first crystallization, yielding A sugar or A strike, leaves a residual mother liquor generally known as A molasses.

On the idea of the previous considerations, the synthesis of ionic liquids from carbohydrates is divided into subsections covering different sugars. Also referred to as "demereara" or "turbinado," sugar in the uncooked is often a go-to alternative for vegans and food naturalists alike. Less processed than common granulated sugar, some molasses is left in the sugar crystals. Sugar in the uncooked just isn't good for sugar work or confections as a outcome of impurities could cause boiling sugar to crystalize. Meanwhile, syrups typically comprise round 20% water, and virtually all of them include greater than simply pure sucrose.

These compounds are typically non-toxic and biodegradable each beneath cardio and anaerobic conditions [43]. After the sugarbeets have been cleaned, sliced, and soaked in hot water to recover the sugar, the beet pulp stays. Beet pulp is then pressed and dried to about 10% moisture (dried pulp), leaving a very steady, nutritionally-rich, and high bulk liquid sugar in digestible fiber product. Beet pulp that is pressed to take away extra water and recover extra sugar is then known as pressed pulp. Amalgamated Sugar produces and markets a selection of wholesome animal feed products derived from sugarbeets.

Learning tips on how to choose, can, freeze, dry, and store grapes doesn't have to be complex! USU Extension has all of the resources that you have liquid sucrose supplier to preserve your grapes in the method in which that you simply prefer to take action. How to dry, bottle and freeze corn by Utah State University Extension school.

However, because of its low sweetness, it is usually blended with intense sweeteners [47]. Similar to different polyols, it is reckoned as safe and has been allocated an ADI “not specified” by JECFA (Table 6) [45]. Sugar alcohols’ sweetness is usually liquid sucrose bulk suppliers lower than the certainly one of monosaccharide, and therefore, they're used volume-for-volume like sugar and are called bulk sweeteners.

The authors used a d-glucose by-product in its furanosidic kind because the alkyne bearing partner. The latter was obtained by way of a selective safety of glucose to give 1,2-5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose 120 adopted by the derivatization of the free alcohol with propargyl bromide (Scheme 23A). From 2011 to now, only some examples of ionic liquids starting from these compounds have been published. These works are mainly based on direct derivatization of at least one hydroxyl functionality to introduce a great leaving group (tosylate or triflate) followed by a displacement reaction with a nitrogen nucleophile to yield an ionic compound. An anion metathesis response can be used to obtain completely different ILs containing the same cation [65,66,67]. The above-mentioned technique, based on the neutralization-metathesis reaction of d-gluconic acid in its linear type, has been broadly used [17,forty three,forty four,45,46].

White sugars are some of the widespread and are extensively utilized in baking and food manufacturing. Others are caster sugar, icing sugar, jam-setting sugar, and sanding sugar. Sorbitol supplies fewer energy than sugars, and its sweetness amounts to about 60 % of the one assigned to sucrose (Table 2). It additionally characterizes with a 20-fold greater solubility in water than mannitol.

LPS® DETEX® FoodLube® Sugar Dissolving Fluid quickly dissolves and removes sugar-based soils, keeping meals and beverage equipment fully operational. This NSF H1 lubricant can be utilized anyplace inside meals processing amenities where incidental meals contact may occur. The advanced formula leaves behind a skinny lubricating film that eases future cleansing of sticky soils and supplies short-term corrosion safety. As such the food and beverage business requires massive portions of sugar to fulfill the demands of consumers.

Pawpaw: the Ever-Present Ohio Fruit You've Never Heard Of

September in Northeast Ohio usually marks the finale of the abundance of midsummer produce: tomatoes, sweet corn, peppers, concord grapes, zucchini, and the beginning of our glorious annual Ohio apple harvest. A late-summer fruit that’s often overlooked however, is the pawpaw!

Adopted in 2009, the pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is Ohio’s state native fruit and pawpaw trees have populated our hardwood forests for millennia. Common in many states throughout Appalachia and the Ohio valley, the pawpaw is Ohio’s only native fruit. The trees prefer to live on the edge of forests in well-drained soil and have large vibrant tropical-looking simple leaves.

The pawpaw fruit is the largest fruit native to North America, ranging between three and six inches in length. Its skin is green, yellow, or black on the outside and contains a golden avocado-like interior pulp. At the fruit’s center are multiple dark brown seeds comparable in size to nickels. Pawpaws are extremely sweet, with flavors comparable to bananas and mangos.

I’ve been looking intently for pawpaw trees this season and have stumbled upon a few. Shown above, this pawpaw tree is at the Mustill Store Museum in the Cascade Valley MetroPark in Akron. Unfortunately, the tree was bare and there were no pawpaws to be found. There are others lining the grounds of the Highland Square Mustard Seed in Akron. I’ve also seen some very large pawpaw trees while driving south of Wooster.

I did some searching and found a man in Lakewood who operates a small pawpaw orchard out of his backyard. After class a few weeks ago, I hopped in my car and traveled north. I picked up the pawpaws and immediately smelled their ripe sweet aroma. Upon arriving home, I cut open the fruit and ate the yellow flesh with a spoon. Similar in flavor to a banana, pawpaws might be the sweetest fruit I’ve ever tasted. The texture, although soft, was neither mushy nor mealy, and incredibly smooth and silky. The flavor is strong and a little goes a long way. The fruit does not last long, even in the fridge. It is best to eat the pawpaws when they’re ripe or cut them and freeze them to use later.

Pawpaws were important sources of food for Native Americans and European settlers. In the 1500s, European traders in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys documented Native Americans harvesting and collecting pawpaws in late summer. Pawpaws are a living testament to the former Native American villages that once dotted the Ohio plains and forests. Pawpaw groves can be found near iconic Native American sites, including Serpent Mound in Southern Ohio, lingering living witnesses of the region’s former inhabitants.

For the past 23 years, the Ohio Pawpaw festival has been held annually in Albany in Southwest Ohio. The festival aims to celebrate and bring greater awareness to the pawpaw, “through delectable foods, and a full line-up of presentations and activities.” This year’s festival dates are from September 17 – 19. For more information, visit ohiopawpawfest.com. If you can’t make the drive, you can find pawpaw trees throughout the MetroParks and in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Look out for their distinct tropical-looking foliage. They often grow together in groves.

You may find pawpaw venders at local farmers markets, as well. Rainbow Gardens often sells pawpaws at their vendor station at the Countryside Farmers Market, held Saturday mornings in Howe Meadow in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. For more information, visit countrysidefoodandfarms.org.

When searching for pawpaws, I posted an inquiry on Facebook, asking friends if they knew where I could find any. My grandmother, who lives near Dayton, was surprised to see that I was interested in these fruits she perceived as antiquated and unsophisticated. She recalled stories of growing up on a farm in southern Indiana in the 1950s. She and her relatives would snack on fresh pawpaws and persimmons picked from the trees on the farm, bake them into puddings, and feed the rest to the hogs. Pawpaws, to her, seemed insignificant and reminiscent of a bygone era. Why would anyone be interested in pawpaws, today?

Pawpaws are a testament to those who came before us, those from whom Europeans stole this land, those from whom industrial manufacturing and agriculture stole this land, and those enlightened few who revered its bounties and beauty. I don’t find the pawpaw interesting so much for its contribution to gastronomy or its gustatory novelty, but rather its persistent presence throughout our region’s history. They are of this special place in a way we will never quite be, evolving over millennia for the distinct purpose of thriving here. We, in contrast, are simple visitors, an invasive species with the ability to destroy anything we encounter. Despite this, and despite us, this tree, and its strange fruit, persist and will likely carry on once we move onward.

All photos are my own.

Every Single Day (Loki x Sigyn)

“Mama can we get papa a present?” Asked Narvi as he pulled up a chair next to where his mother was cutting vegetables for dinner. “Vali and I saw something at the market, and we wanna get it for papa.” Sigyn ruffled her older son’s wavy black hair as she turned to him, wiping her hands on an old knit towel.

“What present do you want to get papa?” Narvi grabbed her hand, pulling her down to his level, whispering the idea in her ear. “That’s a good idea. What made you want to get him this present?”

“Papa’s been really sad, and I wanna make him feel better, like when he makes me feel better when I’m sad.” Sigyn nodded as she knelt to look at her son.

“Papa’s been having some bad dreams, baby. I think this gift you want to get him will make him feel a lot better. I’ll take you boys to the market tomorrow; how does that sound?” Narvi ecstatically nodded as he launched himself at his mom in a hug, she rubbed his back, knowing what Loki would think of his sweet, caring boys. The next day came quickly, and she was woken up early by the boys, shaking her awake. Loki had left early in the morning to see Thor in New Asgard, as well as visit his other children. She knew that would cheer him up. The boys were shaking with excitement, ready to show mama their find. They quickly grabbed their cloaks and were pulling Sigyn out the door.

Sigyn didn’t usually take the boys to the market with her. She would usually take Ragna in her carrier while Loki stayed at home with the boys, teaching them spells and playing outside with them. She found that when the boys were around, he perked up and forced himself to really look on the positive side.

Sigyn knew he would forever have guilt for the things he had done, the lives that were lost at his hands. She helped him realize that it wasn’t for his enjoyment or pleasure, he did for his survival, so he could live to help raise their children and do right. He had been forced to harm others; it wasn’t because he liked it. With his help in Thanos defeat, it helped prove to others the amount of influence Thanos had over him, and how he was his own person now, no longer under Thanos’ rule.

He still had rapid nightmares though, coming up on the five year anniversary of Thanos defeat, the nightmares were coming more than ever. It didn’t help that the anniversary of Frigga’s death was around the same time. He was struggling with the things he had done, and Sigyn knew that if the boys could show him that it was okay to have struggles, it would be easier to handle.

Sigyn looked around the market, bustling with the neighbors she had grown up with. No holidays were coming up, yet the market was packed. Stands littered the side of the road, the currency being exchanged glittered in the sun. The market looked magical, with trinkets of all shapes and sizes. Veggies and fruits of bright, beautiful colors sat out in spectacle. Sigyn wondered if she should pick up some seeds while she was out looking at all the colorful stands.

Sigyn watched as the boys weaved through the crowd as she tried to keep up with them, they were five years old and had so much more energy than Sigyn. Dealing with one enthusiastic five-year-old was enough, but Sigyn was blessed with two. She still remembered how shocked she and Loki were when they found out they were having twins.

She saw them stop at a small, rackety little shack where a tiny woman stood with a whole collection of trinkets ranging with small potion glasses to large pieces of furniture. Sigyn looked over the items, her eyes trying to find which gift the boys were looking at. She saw Vali get up on his toes to point at their idea.

Sigyn looked over and saw a dingy picture frame with a mirror inside. It was a golden color that would be shiny had it been cleaned. Sigyn didn’t exactly see the sentiment but she knew the boys had a reason behind it.

“Narvi, Vali what exactly is this thing?” She muttered as she picked up the mirror and inspected it. It seemed like an everyday mirror. An everyday mirror that hadn’t been cleaned in five hundred years.

“It’s an enchanted mirror mama. Like the mirror in that movie Uncle Tony showed us.” Narvi exclaimed as Vali nodded along. Sigyn looked over at the decrepit mirror. With a little bit of polish, it would be beautiful. There were small accents of gold littering the cabin, so it wouldn’t be out of place. It still warmed Sigyn’s heart that the boys’ first thought was of their father.

“It shows memories. We thought that since papa is so sad right now, he could see some good memories, to make him feel better.” Sigyn smiled at the boys’ appreciation for their father. Sigyn knew that Loki tried to hide his feelings from the boys, showing only love around them. He didn’t want them to know what happened in the past and all the things he had done.

“Boys, I think papa will love that. You two are so thoughtful.” She knelt down and gently lifted her boys’ chins to look her in the eyes. Their eyes were bright and sweet, and they didn’t have the hardness or pain Loki and Sigyn’s did. They would protect them from any harm they could so that the boys could have a life neither Sigyn nor Loki had.

Sigyn’s childhood was full of hardships. She was raised by her father, Iwaldi, who was a dwarf from Alfheim. Apparently, Freya, Sigyn’s mother had been married to Iwaldi when she met Odr, a wealthy farmer in Asgard. Within a month, Freya had left Iwaldi with all eight girls to marry Odr and live in Asgard. Sigyn had felt betrayed and felt unloved.

While her father was the most loving and hardworking father, it didn’t replace Sigyn’s feelings of not having a mother. All the children playing in the fields with their mothers, cuddling and being taught spells. Sigyn didn’t have that. While Sigyn had seen Freya and talked since then, she had never exactly reconciled with her mother.

Things changed though when Sigyn was about ten, when Astrid walked into their lives. She was a simple healer who worked with Eir, the healer to the All-Mother and All-Father. She had met Iwaldi when he was working on her new metal potion bowl. They had lots in common, Astrid having been in a failed relationship, though she had no children, and Sigyn’s father still figuring out how to raise eight girls on his own. Astrid was able to help with some of the girls more “feminine” problems and aid in some of Iwaldi’s difficulties that came with raising eight girls with only two hands. Soon enough, Astrid and Iwaldi were married, and the whole in Sigyn’s heart somehow felt a bit fuller.

Sigyn gently pulled out a few coins, passing them to the woman.

“You want this mirror?” The boys nodded excitedly, eyes begging for her to accept. “Why don’t you just take it?”

“Ma’am I couldn’t do that. It’s obviously worth quite a lot.” Replied Sigyn, hand still outstretched for the woman to take the money. The woman continued shaking her head, her grayish-brown locks flowing.

“Let me ask first, what is the reason behind purchasing my mirror?” Sigyn stood back, worried she had offended the woman. It was Vali that quickly answered.

“It’s for our father. He’s been sad lately and we wanted to make him feel better. He likes magical things, so we thought this would help.” Sigyn looked at the boys’ smiley faces, knowing that they had made their point clear.

“Well, you want it for a good reason, so just take it. You guys will use it more than I ever did.” Sigyn looked a bit exasperatedly, still quite shocked at the woman’s generosity. The woman handed the boys the mirror, and Vali gently took off his cloak to wrap it up, Narvi holding it tightly against his chest. Sigyn led the boys back home, knowing Loki would be back from New Asgard soon.

They all sat at the table, the boys doing their own things. Vali had a book of spells, pointing out the cool spells he wanted his father to teach him. Spells of shapeshifting and curing animals. Vali’s interest was helping, no matter what. He had a way with animals, especially animals’ others would be scared of. There had been a pack of wolves in the woods behind them that had made a home, and Sigyn realized the missing meat had been Vali sneaking food to them. When Sigyn went to confront him, she found him asleep outside, leaned up against a tree, wolves surrounding him like he was their own cub. Sigyn felt pride welling up inside her. It was quite a shock to show Loki, who’s first thought was how.

Narvi had a pad of paper that he was writing down new plants to put in the garden. He had begged Sigyn to purchase watermelon seeds, since he had been obsessed with watermelon after Tony introduced it to them one night while babysitting them. Narvi was trying to introduce more Midgardian foods, like planting rice or corn. The farmers had found his ideas helpful, and it was actually helping the bias towards Midgardians that some Asgardians still felt. Sigyn had found his excitement almost contagious and loved seeing his bright little face when he saw the new blooms or the stems emerging from the hard ground. Sigyn knew it was something he had gotten from her.

Sigyn sat at the table, Ragna sitting on her lap, happily babbling, and playing with a tiny stuffed bear Thor had gotten her. Her green eyes were entranced with the little bear, staring intently at it. Her blonde curls were a bit longer, now pulled back in a little ponytail. She looked so much like Frigga. She was relatively peaceful, and never really got upset. She had been a quiet baby, and rarely got fussy. She slept easily through the night early and happily cuddled. One of Loki’s favorite pastimes was lying in bed, Ragna snuggled up into his side as he read, peacefully nodding off, listening to her papa’s soft voice. Sigyn couldn’t say she wasn’t a little jealous of their relationship, but Sigyn remembered her relationship with her father being nearly the same.

Loki was extremely nervous when they had found out about Ragna being a girl. He had never had a baby girl before, but the moment that she was born, it was as if all the worry dissipated within them. He held her as she intently slept, and Sigyn saw he was at ease. He wasn’t afraid of her being taken away, or her getting hurt. He was just calm.

Sigyn was awakened from her thoughts to the door opening and the boys hopping from their chairs, running towards their father. He knelt down and opened his arms, the boys jumping in and hugging him. Ragna toddled towards him and he gently scooped her up onto his hip. She knew how to walk, but she was still new to it, so it was a force of habit.

Ragna began wiggling as Loki sat her down as she followed her brothers into the living room. Sigyn looked over at Loki.

“How was the trip?” She muttered as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close.

“It was nice seeing them. We discussed some treaties between Jotunheim to return the Casket, but it’s Val’s choice now. How were the boys?” Sigyn nudged into him as he rubbed his hands down her back.

“I’m glad you're back.” She sighed. Loki pulled back, looking down at her with a grin.

“Were they that bad?” He chuckled as she shook her head.

“No, they’re just excited.” Loki looked confused before they heard the pitter patter of feet running on the hardwood. They looked over to see Vali holding a folded-up cloak while Narvi stood next to him, his hands behind his back.

“Is this what they were excited about?” He knelt down to reach their height.

“Papa, we got you a present.” Sigyn saw Loki look a bit taken aback, as if he was wondering if he missed a holiday or something. Was it his birthday and he had completely forgotten?

“That’s lovely darlings, but what for?” The boys looked over at their mother, as if waiting for her to explain it. They were still little; their mother could describe their idea in perfect detail.

“When you took the boys to the market last week, the boys saw something they wanted to get you to cheer you up.” She said as she gently rubbed his shoulder. He looked at the small gift, wrapped up in paper. He gently opened it, carefully, unsure of what it was. He carefully inspected it. It was a little mirror, not too large. It was shiny and gold, and reminded him of some of the mirrors back in Asgard. Other than that, it looked like the average mirror.

“Darlings, it’s lovely.” He stopped, a forced smile as he looked over at the boys excited grins. “What is it exactly?”

“It’s an enchanted mirror!” Exclaimed Vali, bobbing up and down, holding onto his brother, who was nodding with the same excitement.

“It’s a mirror that shows memories. They knew something was wrong, and wanted to make you feel better like you make them feel better.” Loki looked speechless, looking at his family. Narvi and Vali excitedly hold onto each other, waiting for his reaction, Ragna playing with the discarded paper, and Sigyn smiling over them. “Maybe this can help you remember the good times.”

“Boys..” He didn’t know what to say. He had always tried to hide his emotions, afraid to worry his family. The boys, as old as they were, still didn’t understand what he went through, and he didn’t want them too. He worried it would change the way they thought about him. All he could do was reach out and hug them, the words not enough to show his appreciation.

“Do you like it?” Muttered Narvi into Loki’s shoulder, his arms wrapped tightly around him.

“I love it. It was very thoughtful of you boys to think about me.”

“Maybe you can see grandma with that mirror.” Whispered Vali, his eyes bright with the thought of seeing what his grandma possibly looked like. Loki regretted the boys never having her. It wasn’t his fault, but the boys didn’t have a grandmother. Sigyn’s mother was always in and out of her life and Sigyn didn’t want her to do the same to the boys. Frigga though, would have adored them. She would have spoiled them, being there all the time. She likely would’ve delivered them had she been there. Anytime he had a question, she would be there, reassuring him that he was doing fantastic. He and his mother had their struggles, but he loved her and he missed her more than ever right now.

“Maybe darling. You know, you three are a lot like her. Narvi, you have her blonde hair, though it’s technically your mother’s. She also loved gardening, and would have been thrilled to garden with you. Vali, she would be reading to you everyday, and would’ve shared your interest in spells. Ragna looks so much like her with her blonde curls. Everyday you remind me of her, and she would have loved you.” He held onto his boys, rubbing the mirror. He closed his eyes, a hand rested in the glass as the boys gasped. He quickly opened his eyes and saw it.

It was surely his memory. It was his mother and him. He was young, maybe ten or eleven, and they were out in the garden. His mother could’ve had someone tend to her garden, but she always preferred to do it herself. Being from Vanaheim, they favored nature and she grew up outside, just like Sigyn. He was sitting on the bench, reading to his mother. He was babbling about some spell and his mother just stood intently listening. He always felt heard when it came to her.

“Is that grandma?” Pointed Vali. Loki nodded, a teary smile came to his face. How he had wished to see her face again. To just apologize to her for what he had done, explain to her why he did what he did.

“She’s really pretty.” Muttered Narvi, staring intently. He had always imagined what his grandmother looked like. Papa had explained to him what she looked like. How she had blonde hair like mama and bright eyes.

“She was beautiful, but she was so much more than that. She was really intelligent, and taught me everything I know. She was also considerate and compassionate. When she met your mama, she adored her and when we married, she was so excited for us to have kids. She would have loved you guys so much. She would have gotten you everything we told her not to. She wouldn’t care. She would do anything to make you guys happy, no matter the cost.”

“Do you miss her papa?”

“Every single day.”

Garden Update

Mid-summer and things are still growing!

The Martin’s Carrot peppers are still going strong - it’s been a full year now since they were planted and they‘re still fruiting. I have to say, I’m very impressed with this varietal. It’s grown incredibly for a potted plant in a windowsill, and I can only imagine how much larger it would be if planted in the ground.

The Minibel cherry tomatoes are about two feet tall and they’re showing signs of budding finally. I’m hoping to have some actual tomatoes from it by the fall. The Sweet Bonnet peppers are finally spreading full-sized leaves. I’m very optimistic that they will perhaps fruit in the fall as well.

The Violet Sparkle peppers, unfortunately, did not make it. They took forever to take and a few too-hot days just scorched the poor things to husks. The baby spinach went the same way, despite a the first few pickings showing promise. I resowed the pots with catnip and peppermint. We’ll see if that does any better.

The basil is still growing, though the lower leaves have started to dry out. I’ll have to pinch the stalks soon. I planted a few more seeds to bring up new sprouts, just in case. There are also more lemon balm seeds in, which I’m hoping will produce good plants for the winter.

The little wintergreen plant I bought is still growing, and I think I’ll harvest some of the leaves for drying soon. I also picked up a spearmint plant since I haven’t have much luck growing it yet. Hopefully it will put out lots of tasty leaves for tea.

Since the corn and lettuce I tried were both no-go’s, I’ve planted some self-supporting peas. Hopefully they’ll grow this time. I have chervil, horehound, and dill waiting in the wings if my current ventures don’t turn out.

All this to say that I’m still compiling notes to see if I can put together a book on garden magic. The market is a bit thin on the subject, and the ones I’ve found all say more or less the same things. Plus, they all assume the reader has a yard to work with, and don’t often include much practical information. One day, when I’m done with the Grimmoire, that’s going to be my next project.

The truth is that yes, you can change your body in 9 Weeks

Naturally, you are unlikely to wake up on day 31 with the bulging biceps of a body builder, nor morph from couch surfer to swimsuit model either.

But after decades working with bodies of all shapes and sizes, what we definitely can advise is that with 30 days of rigorous, dedicated exercise, you will see and feel huge change – physically and mentally – that is highly likely to create a new, lifetime habit.

And if you want to live better for longer, then this is vital. Plus, we’ve seen it time and time again – once you start the challenge, you’ll wonder what you were worried about in the first place.

Here, two of our most experienced trainers, Xtend Barre® and Pilates instructor, Anna Serafinas Luk and yoga supremo, Victor Chau, explain how to stick with a 30-day exercise plan, so you can feel the change once and for all:

Every time you put a morsel of food into your mouth, you're making a decision - about your mind and your body. They are affected by everything you eat, in a way that modern science is making clearer through new research.

What you eat is responsible for making you tired and exhausted, or keeping you energetic, vibrant and ready for action. It's the choice of food you eat that helps keep you calm and clear, and makes you glow with good health, or relish a healthy weight, or stay fit and trim.
