Food Co-op with Sustainable Solano
Sustainable Solano did a wonderful cooking event with locally sourced foods for Cultivate Community Food Cooperative (CCFC) last night in Benicia. Ask me about becoming an owner as we try to grow CCFC to build a brick-and-mortar local food co-op! In addition to the gorgeous salad you can see below, we also had potato gnocchi with the freshest broccoli and garlic.
Fourteen CCFC owners were treated to a cooking demo by Chef Stephanie Jordan, Program Mgr., Sustainable Solano.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) was also an important topic of discussion.
Buongiorno Kathryn!
Buongiorno a mia amica Kathryn! It was so nice to see her and get to practice our Italian. We both had numerous awful experiences in 2024, but onward and upward! It was nice to be able to eat al fresco at Lucca’s in downtown Benicia on First Street. I’m glad I remembered to take at least one picture since I neglected to do it with another friend I lunched with earlier this week.
Wardlaw Four
With the great weather, we took Snoopy, Bonnie, and foster littermates Calvin & Hobbes (still available for adoption) to Wardlaw Park again this evening. I heard some women asking, “How does that dog even see?” when looking at Bonnie with her hair style, not realizing that she has no eyes until I told them. Moments later Bonnie walked through a little bowl of water. Most are really impressed by how she navigates and follows my voice when she’s off-leash.
Cuddle Cub Foster Dogs
HSNB President Linda borrowed foster dogs, Calvin & Hobbes, for some Cuddle Club pet therapy at a senior living facility here in Vallejo. I was so proud when I heard they were perfect ambassadors for the shelter.
Miso Settling in New Home
Mike and Todd sent me these after they returned home with Miso, who will soon be renamed.
Miso getting to know his new feline sister:
Foster Miso is Adopted by Friends
Miso got adopted by my dear friends Mike & Todd today! It’s so great to foster a dog that is so loving and to know he’s going to be in their wonderful household, but even better knowing we’ll get to see him once in a while!
Annual CCFC Meeting 2025
Cultivate Community Food Co-op is a mouthful, but what a great idea. I’ve been an owner for several years and look forward to that investment paying off in time.
Pictures from others at the same event:
First Grooming of 2025
Snoopy and Bonnie’s “before” pictures:
Bonnie and Snoopy had the first grooming of the year! The first picture is Bonnie before the grooming. I have some clean-up on Bonnie’s ears and Snoopy’s tail to do, but it wasn’t bad for doing it with some time pressure.
Droning on about Rowing
Today’s row came with a drone accompaniment. It was driven from shore by coxswain Eric.
I also managed to capture these two loving non-love birds as they flew away together.
