Envirobits

Pure Local Water that Tastes Great by Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer We've got brand new water filtration systems in all our stores. When you buy 'bulk water,' you're getting local water that's freshly filtered. Reduce waste by bringing back your jugs to re-use. The Freshpure Waters system offers customers two options. For great taste, try Reverse Osmosis filtered water, with trace amounts of minerals. The system pre-filters city water, then forces it through a membrane that imitates the abilities of body cells to filter out impurities. The water then passes through carbon post-filtration to enhance its taste. As a final safeguard, water is sterilized with high-intensity UV light. When ultra-pure water is desired, for example for cleansing fasts or specials diets, use Deionized Water. After being pre-filtered and filtered as described above, the water is filtered a third time through a deionization medium to remove trace minerals. Natural Water Services, makers of the Freshpure Waters system, describes the health benefits of their water: "There is much controversy about minerals in our drinking water. As a species, humans evolved consuming surface water found in streams, rivers and lakes. Surface water is naturally low in minerals. When humans began to dig deep wells, they tapped into groundwater with a much higher mineral content. These minerals exist in a form and quantity that the body cannot easily absorb. Consequently, they tend to build up in the organs and tissues, instead of being utilized by the body. FreshPure™ RO Water contains only trace levels of minerals (typically 5-20 ppm), similar to the low levels found in fresh surface water." Learn more at their website here. Enjoy healthy, clean water and help the environment by reusing your large water jugs.

Chatham Marketplace

Where does your food come from? A discussion and film series presented by Chatham Marketplace Saturday, April 10th 2:30 pm - Cafe Talk - Led by Angelina from Angelina's Kitchen, a Pittsboro restaurant dedicated to local food with a Greek twist. A cooking demonstration will follow the talk.

SEEDS

Eat Pie, Bid High and Help SEEDS by Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer The 2nd Annual SEEDS Pie Social and Skill Share Auction is coming up on Saturday, April 18th. SEEDS is a non-profit community garden in Durham whose goal is to teach people to care for the earth, themselves and each other through a variety of garden-based programs. (To learn more, visit their website here.) On April 18th from 2-6 pm, a suggested minimum donation of $10 will get you into the social with 4 pie-tasting tickets. You'll also be able to bid on the unique talents auctioned off in the Skill Share Auction. Last year's auction offered everything from fire juggling to origami, vermicomposting to fly fishing, pottery to Japanese brush painting. The skill share silent auction puts a spin on a traditional silent auction—instead of bidding on things, attendees bid on 'skill shares,' or quality time learning fun and interesting skills from fellow community members. More information and directions are posted on the SEEDS website, or email Kavanah Ramsier.



Spring Specials

Spring has sprung, and inspired a few menu changes: Our seasonal soup has changed to Tuscan White Bean and Tomato Soup - a vegan recipe. The seasonal Fruit Crisp now features the luscious strawberry-rhubarb combination. New items on the dinner menu include: Pork Scaloppini in a Beef-Marsala Reduction Sauce with Dried Figs, over a Creamy Risotto. And a new vegan pasta dish - Bucatini Puttanesca - with that famously flavorful sauce of sweet tomatoes, kalamata olives, capers, garlic, white wine, and olive oil. This dish is also available in a non-vegan version with sautéed shrimp. Our new cocktail list for spring offers four refreshing, delicious creations from the bar. The one named with the Italian word for spring - Primavera - is a soothing celebration of fragrant spring days, made with Absolut citron vodka, Saint Germaine liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup and a splash of soda. Strawberry Margarita Cuervo Gold tequila, strawberry liqueur, triple sec, splash of sour mix, on the rocks. Pear-tini Absolut Pear vodka and pineapple juice, straight up in a chilled martini glass. Limonjito Limoncello, fresh mint, fresh lime juice and a splash of cranberry juice, on the rocks.
