Quote of the Day
"It’s relief for a loved one that they are okay, and relief for yourself to know that you did it; that you played your part. …I think when you see your loved one come off the plane, you know that your job is done."
—Elizabeth Whelan on her brother’s return to the U.S. after years in a Russian labor campHot Topic Comment"This tune sounds awfully familiar. People being moved around without any notice and one family of nine shipped off the island. Just stop the virtue signaling and the hypocrisy and build public housing. There is plenty of land for it."
—Carl Kelly on an effort to help homeless displaced from the State
ForestHot Topic Letter"In a major 2024 landmark decision, the Supreme Court undercut the authority of the federal administrative agencies
in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. This decision will have a direct negative impact on Island residents and visitors who rely on the expertise of government officials, and here’s why."
—Jack Fruchtman on The Supreme Court term decision

With tomatoes and eggplants as relatives, this featured fruit may not be sweet, but it's quite versatile when prepared as a vegetable. Try it yourself with Island Grown Initiative's recipe for Fried Jiló. It's great on a sandwich, as an appetizer with dip, or mixed with rice or pasta.
Discover all kinds of freshly harvested produce at the various Farmers Markets around the Island. Most of them also have homemade bread, herbs, condiments, desserts, chocolate, and much
more.
Does your family have a recipe to share with the community? Send it to us, along with a photo of the dish and a brief backstory if you have one, to recipes@mvtimes.com.
