Tip of the Day: Get Creative with seafood

TIP OF THE DAY

Get creative with seafood. Think beyond the fish fillet. Try salmon patties, a shrimp stir-fry, fish tacos, or clams with whole grain pasta – frozen and canned seafood help keep things simple and affordable. Eat seafood twice a week.

This Week at the Crescent City Farmers Market

National Farmers Market Week | August 3, 2020

FRESH & LOCAL: National Farmers Market Week The Crescent City Farmers Market began in 1995 and hosts almost 100 farmers, fishers, and food producers selling a wide variety of products, including fresh gulf seafood and critters from the bayou, geographically significant crops like Creole tomatoes, mirlitons, cushaw, Ponchatoula strawberries and Plaquemines Citrus, local honey, heirlooms old and new, grass-fed beef, local small dairy and so much more. Celebrating our 25th anniversary this year is not quite what we thought it would be (understatement of the century!) but we’ve been quick on our toes and nimbly adjusted to the pandemic by offering home delivery, drive thru markets and now a modified walk up market that keep eaters and food producers safe, connected, and in business. Our small staff has been very busy charting a new path for our markets, and Market Umbrella depends on contributions from generous donors to fund these operations as well as several incentive programs that promote equitable fresh food access, a systemic problem which has been exacerbated during the pandemic. If you’ve appreciated being able to find fresh, local produce, meat and bread while grocery store shelves have lain empty or been rationed, please take a moment and text CCFM to 44-321 or visit our website to make a donation today to the market you love. Your gift will fund these operations and help us continue to support our vendors and the local economy, while supporting our community with fresh, healthy food. We can’t do it without you!

GOOD FOOD WORD OF THE WEEK: In addition to running farmers markets, a critical component of Market Umbrella’s work is to enhance food and nutrition access and awareness in our community. The Good Food Word of the Week seeks to shed some light on this part of our work and also to demystify the jargon.

Triple bottom line This week’s Good Food Word is Triple bottom line – or 3BL/TBL, refers to the social, ecological and economic bottom lines of any business, whether for-profit or non-profit. In a farmers market, a community meeting place (or third place) is created where food that is sustainably produced and travels fewer miles to get to the end consumer is purchased by the surrounding community directly from the producer, directly supporting the local economy by keeping food dollars circulating locally. It’s part of why it can feel so good to eat fresh, local food (and why we look forward to a more “normal” gathering space).

PICKS OF THE WEEK: WhatsGood Celebrates Farmers Market Week To celebrate National Farmers Market week, WhatsGood, our online farmers market host, is getting in the spirit and will donate 10% of your purchase to our Market Match program which doubles SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) dollars spent at market. As always, use the online marketplace to place your orders ahead of time. Enter code DONATE10 when making your purchases this week for any of our markets. Now more than ever in these uncertain times, Market Match helps community members stretch their food dollars, so this is a win-win!

Breastfeeding Welcome Here In addition to being National Farmers Market Week, it is also World Breastfeeding Week and National WIC Breastfeeding Week, #WICbreastfeeding. Market Umbrella and CCFM know mommas make the world go ‘round and we’re doing our part! Breastfeeding provides optimal nutrition for baby’s health and growth resulting in life-long cognitive and developmental benefits. Our Market Mommas Club supports mom and baby on their breastfeeding journey by helping to overcome economic barriers to fresh, local foods. MMC moms are connected with lactation support and encouragement from our community partners New Orleans Breastfeeding Center and NOLA Baby Cafe and receive $80 per month in market tokens to shop at our Tuesday market. Membership enrollment is happening now for our 2020 Club!

Ode to Summer Gumbo Summertime gumbo Peppers, shrimp, okra, and roux It’s never too hot! -Cristina Berthelot, Market Manager

VENDOR OF THE WEEK: Amanda’s Frozen Fruit Bars Summer is here and is NOT messing around. Rainy one day, hot the next and ALWAYS humid! Have no fear! Amanda is here! Whether you prefer a cold-pressed juice or a full-fruit popsicle, she’s got the goods for respite against the summer heat… even if it is only until your popsicle melts! Grab a peach lemonade, watermelon juice or the famed avocado cream popsicle next time you’re at the Tuesday market or preorder when they’re at our Sunday Drive Thru.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK: Shrimp and Okra Gumbo It’s been said that we are gluttons for pain and suffering. Is that why we crave a steamy bowl of gumbo on an unbearably hot day? Maybe, but I think it is because there’s nothing better than shrimp and okra gumbo. And let’s face it, we are entering deep summer AKA okra season. Long sunny days and the bounty of fresh okra at the market keep us dreaming of chilly nights and a dark roux. Well I say there’s no reason to wait - eat it now! Just make sure you throw some chopped okra in the freezer to save the season. Check out this recipe by Acadiana Table if you need some inspo. We won’t tell anyone ;) What’s your favorite dish to make after visiting the Crescent City Farmers Market? Share your recipes with us on Instagram or Facebook or even Twitter and it might be featured in our weekly newsletter!

Do Not Accept Cancer Fatigue As 'New Normal'

It's easy to accept certain challenging side effects from the cancer journey as a "new normal", something you can't shake no matter what. But even with cancer fatigue feeling insurmountable, there are ways to handle it.

JULY 17, 2020

Barbara Tako is a breast cancer survivor (2010), melanoma survivor (2014) and author of Cancer Survivorship Coping Tools–We'll Get You Through This. She is a cancer coping advocate, speaker and published writer for television, radio and other venues across the country. She lives, survives, and thrives in Minnesota with her husband, children and dog. See more at www.cancersurvivorshipcopingtools.com,or www.clutterclearingchoices.com.

I saw the diagnosis on my medical chart, "chronic fatigue" and felt a familiar twinge of frustration. My "chronic fatigue" diagnosis was not on my medical chart before my cancers. I wondered why it was listed as "chronic" rather than "cancer-related fatigue" (CRF)? Maybe my fatigue has more than one cause? As someone who also struggles with sleep apnea, I decided to go see a sleep psychiatrist about it all.

The sleep psychiatrist was very thorough. I knew there were patient quizzes for depression and anxiety. I learned there was also one for fatigue! The psychiatrist also ordered more thorough blood work to be done. She worked with me to tweak my CPAP machine to help me too. I was grateful and I wish I had gone to her sooner. Lesson learned: Do not put off or wait to seek help to address fatigue.

Advocacy Request from the American Cancer Society

	Cathy, It’s a step, but we need more. Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a budget that includes an increase in cancer research funding. Thanks to your actions, lawmakers recognized that our nation must do more to fight cancer, and that starts with research. While we’re grateful for this increase in cancer research funding, it simply isn’t enough. We can’t allow potentially lifesaving projects to go unfunded. Soon, the Senate will be working on their version of the budget, and we need to convince them to increase funding for cancer research even more, to what patients really need. More treatments. More cures. And more lives saved. We’ll need your voice on this again soon, so keep an eye on your email. Together, we can make sure the U.S. Senate knows the importance of cancer research funding and how critical they are to saving more lives from cancer. Thank you for taking action. Korinne Moore Berenson Senior Director, Grassroots Campaigns
