Hi All,

It’s starting to feel like summer is really here! With so many activities and events going on, I struggle to keep a balance in my life between work and pleasure. Since I love the work I do, often the lines between work and pleasure get blurred, and if feels like I am always playing (or working!) One perfect example of this took place a few months ago, when I went out to eat at this lovely, delightful, restaurant, in Hell’s Kitchen, near the Theater District. The Marshal is a Snail of Approval Restaurant, which means it has been vetted by Slow Food NYC to follow the principles of Slow Food, supporting good, clean and fair food. The food was delicious and the presentation beautiful, and knowing that everything was sourced with a commitment to sustainability allowed me to enjoy the experience even more. The Chef, and owner, Charlie Marshall, came over to talk to our table, and share with us his story and his passion. I knew he would be a great guest for my show, and I am so excited that he will be joining me this Thursday on the Progressive Radio Network.

On Sunday, I am hosting Slow Food North Shore’s Summer Solstice Celebration at the iEat Green Homestead. This will really be the “Beginning of Summer Bash,” complete with live music, dancing, swimming, and volleyball. It is a time to bring our community together, to share in some summer fun! It is a pot luck, so get creative! Bring something homemade, or local, or your favorite organic wine, or cocktail. Donations will go towards a student airplane ticket to Terra Madre in Italy!

Then, on Tuesday, June 28th, I will join the TV talk show called “Life Out Loud with Junie Moon.” The focus of the show is Connecting the Dots Between Our Health, Our Environment, and the Foods We Eat. To watch the show, you need to register here, and then you will be sent a link. I hope you can join us!
