The End of January and a Market with a Bang

Find out what is going on at the Kensington Farmers' Market this Sunday.

February Here We Come

The last weekend in January, it is hard to believe. This Sunday's Farmers' Market is going to have some bang! Clangin' and Bangin' that is - our featured musical talent this week. Come soak in the positive vibes of blues, honky-tonk, and boogie music. Clangin' & Bangin's musical influences include Chicago-style from the 20s and 30s, New Orleans traditional jazz, and the honky-tonks down in Texas. 

Also, featured at the Market is Big Paw Olive Oils. The family-owned business was inspired by a hike in the California highlands. Today, Big Paw Olive Oil's philosophy is based on producing small lots of the highest quality possible. 

Taste Delights

As with fine wines, Big Paw differentiates the particular characteristics of a flavoring not just by the olive or herb alone, but where it has grown. Their 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oils are first, cold pressed from such pedigreed California olives many of which are California Olive Oil Counsel certified. Visit Malcolm at Big Paw and see their rich variety of products including: olive oils; dippers, dressings, marinades, rubs, syrups, olives and vinegars. Your taste buds will dance with delight.

Health Benefits

According to the Mayo Clinic, the main type of fat found in all kinds of olive oil is monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). MUFAs are actually considered a healthy dietary fat.  They may help lower your risk of heart disease. For instance, MUFAs may lower your total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. MUFAs may also help normalize blood clotting. But even healthier fats like olive oil are high in calories, so use them only in moderation.

See you there!

Was that what i heard in the middle of the night on Wednesday? I thought i was dreaming. It soundedRead More like some sort of loudspeaker.

Gee...are you SURE that alarm IS coming from Portola Middle School? Um...I suppose that you ARERead More sure! Yes...it IS turbo-annoying but I had assumed that it was some stupid car alarm.

Good thought, Julian.

I've spoken with him, he is educated, intelligent and articulate. He is also angry and sometimesRead More irrational. I dont know his story but his "street art" stands on its own legs. If you would like to help him, and yourself, buy and enjoy his art.

A neighbor of mine on Colusa tried to give him food when he was on Colusa, but he refused, so IRead More never tried. Dorothy, is that the shelter near the Berkeley Historical Society/Veteran's Building? Perhaps he would need a ride to it. Perhaps he's concerned about leaving his things there if he can't be there during the day. I'm afraid I don't know enough about it.

I did mention that I'm donating 10% of my royalties for "Midnight" to the EC's Open SpaceRead More fund, didn't I? I'm a Down-home Ten Percenter.

Lucy, I like the idea in principal, but in reality I think it would just give ECPD more work to do.Read More "People hanging out" doesn't necessarily translate to a friendly,fun-filled, folksy kind of environment. It *can* mean quite the reverse. "Midnight On the Ohlone" sounds like a new recording. Something like "I left my little babeeeeee, down by the tracks....and now I want her back....she's a needle in the haaaaaaay staaaaack...' Arhoolie awaits.

What a great idea for pocket parks!!! I am all for them. Instead of spening a big amount on oneRead More (which we don't have space anyway), I would like to see many mini parks of $20,000 along the Bart tracks. With more visibility and people hanging out, it would make Bart paths safer too, especially the one around fairmont park. Really mini pocket parks just needs some play structures, benches and tables there.
