Kitchen Shrink: Hippocrates-style cooking class; ‘Make food your medicine’

Some folks love to spend a leisurely Sunday morning strolling the stalls of a gourmet farmers market, scoping out seasonal offerings from local growers and purveyors, and feeling like part of the community. A couple of Sundays ago, I joined a group of intrepid foodies in a farmers market trip on steroids — an adventure that began in the state-of-the-art Studio Kitchen, San Diego headquarters of Specialty Produce, the glitterati of fruit and vegetable sellers. There, the first in a series of “Food as Medicine Cooking Classes” was launched by Chef Christina Ng, chair of the Berry Good Food Academy, a non-profit that embarks on benevolent food programs.

Artist Cherry Sweig is bringing a collection of angels she “found” in Venice, Italy to her native La Jolla, hoping to inspire those who view them to look at, up, through, and into the images as she did. “Finding Venetian Angels” will debut with a reception 5:30-7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 28, 2020 at the St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church’s Gallery by-the-Sea. For the exhibit, Sweig produced a profound number of works inspired by her recent stay in Venice.

San Diego mayoral candidates field questions at La Jolla forum

About 200 people packed the La Jolla Community Center on Feb. 17 to witness a showdown between the six candidates for the March 3 San Diego Mayoral primary: Barbara Bry, Todd Gloria, Rich Riel, Scott Sherman, Gita Appelbaum Singh and Tasha Williamson. A showdown is not exactly what they got, however. A dozen questions were posed by Ann Kerr Bache, president of La Jolla Town Council (LJTC), which sponsored the 90-minute event. Then, pre-selected members of the audience got to ask a dozen more questions. Each candidate received only one minute to answer, with no opportunities to follow up or address one another head-to-head.

La Jolla’s Pack 4 Cub Scouts become Boy Scouts at Blue & Gold Banquet

Sixteen La Jolla Cub Scouts are now Boy Scouts, after a bridging ceremony that celebrated the work they’ve done to earn their new ranks. During the Blue and Gold Banquet, Feb. 12, 2020 at La Jolla Presbyterian Church, Scouts in Pack 4 and their families dined together on a potluck meal, applauded those who earned awards for fundraising through popcorn sales, watched as several of the boys were presented with the coveted Arrow of Light award and cheered for the newest Boy Scouts.
