FRESH & LOCAL:
There are so many divisive issues of today, but the conflict doesn't stop at politics. It's that time of year for families to come together... and argue about sweet potato casserole. Whether you're a marshmallower or not, whether you prefer more sugar and less butter, brown sugar to karo, we've at least got you covered on the essential ingredient. While we tend to lump them all into one tuberous category, in fact there are over 6,500 varieties of sweet potatoes many of which can grow in Louisiana because of their tropical origins and our warm climate. When you see an orange sweet potato, chances are it's a Beauregard, but check out our markets for some other options, like the super sweet and creamy white sweet potato O'Henry. Any way you cut it, just make sure you're using fresh, local sweet potatoes as a base, and you're well on your way to a dish the whole family can agree on.
PICKS OF THE WEEK: KUMQUATS
Small but powerful, kumquats are a lesser-known citrus that makes their first appearance at the beginning of the citrus season. These cute fruits are incredibly snackable, great to pop in your mouth raw. They are versatile and can be cut up for salads, pickled or added to meat dishes. Kumquats are a perfect addition to cranberry sauce or can stand alone in a bright, flavorful sauce by themselves. Consider adding local kumquats to your Thanksgiving menu this year!
Kumquats are eaten whole, rind and all. The seeds are not poisonous but they are bitter. Pro tip: Oblong kumquats are sour, while round ones are sweet.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Happy harvest y'all! Our Thursday, Mid-City market will be closed this Thursday - November, 23rd so that our staff and vendors can enjoy time with their families and a break from the field. Get all of your last minute holiday feast essentials from our Uptown market Tuesday - November, 21st located in Uptown square - 200 Broadway 9-1pm. And if you're ready to stock up on some leafy greens or bagels to get a break from those leftovers, on Saturday the 25th you can find us downtown at 750 Carondelet.
VENDOR OF THE WEEK: L'HOSTES CITRUS
Last, but certainly not least - the L'Hoste Family Citrus Farm is back in action at the Tuesday Uptown market. The L'Hostes hail from the motherland of local citrus, Braithwaite, Louisiana. These guys are one of the only certified organic citrus growers in the Gulf South and have a special home in our market. If you are looking for organic citrus options, this is the place to stop. If you are looking for a really good satsuma, this is also the place to stop. Check them out - next to Monica's Okra World at the Tuesday market!

Soul Sweet Taters
Sweet. Potatoes. Literally THE BEST thanksgiving side dish ever. Looking for a great casserole recipe? Check out this one from Pioneer Woman - the crunchy pecan crust is amazing.
Ingredients
4 whole Medium Sweet Potatoes 1 cup Sugar 1 cup Milk 2 whole Eggs 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon Salt 1 cup Brown Sugar 1 cup Pecans 1/2 cup Flour 3/4 sticks Butter
Directions
Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375-degree oven until fork tender, about 30-35 minutes. When they are finished cooking slice them open and scrape out the flesh into a large bowl.
Add 1 cup of (regular granulated) sugar, 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. With a potato masher, mash them up just enough-you don't want to be perfectly smooth.
Now, in a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans, chopped (that means measure a cup of pecans, then chop them), ½ cup flour, and ¾ stick of butter. With a pastry cutter or fork, mash together until thoroughly combined.
Spread the sweet potato mixture into a regular baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top.
Bake in a 400-degree oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

It's November and That Means-
Time for National Novel Writing Month
METAIRIE, LA - The Lakeshore Branch Library, 1000 West Esplanade, Metairie, hosts NaNoWriMo on four different evenings during the month of November.
NaNoWriMo occurs at the following times and dates:
· ·
· 5 to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 21
· 5 to 8:30 p.m., Monday, Nov. 27
This event is free of charge and is open to the public.
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, a quirky event that encourages writers to work towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 p.m. on Nov. 30.
During the event, writers may visit the Lakeshore Library to sit in the Commons Area and put their novels onto paper, either by entering words into laptops or by penning works the old fashioned way. They can talk with other writers who have been through the process, as well as learn tips about the writing process, and in general, commiserate about the writing process. There is no charge for these sessions.
Shannon Kitchens, a JPL staff person and the municipal liaison for New Orleans, will be present to explain how the NaNoWriMo process works. She can explain how participants can update their word count on the NaNoWriMo website if they choose to register, how to add a writing buddy, the concept of a "word sprint," and how to be a NaNoWriMo winner. There is no fee to participate in this program.
NaNoWriMo's main goal is to encourage creativity. The project started in July 1999 with 21 participants, but by the 2010 event, more than 200,000 people took part and wrote a total of more than 2.8 billion words. Since 2006, roughly 100 NaNoWriMo novels have been published via traditional publishing houses. Many more have been published by smaller presses or self-published.
For more information regarding this presentation, contact Chris Smith, Manager of Adult Programming for the library, at 504-889-8143 or wcsmith@jefferson.lib.la.us.

33rd Annual Christmas New Orleans Style Event Overview
Reveillon Feasts, Cathedral Concerts, Festive Events, Hotel Deals
'Cause it's Christmastime in New Orleans
New Orleans, LA - New Orleans - recently named one of the "Best Places to Go in 2018" by Frommer's Travel Guides and "One of the Best Food Cities in the World" by Food & Wine - will celebrate the 33rd annual Christmas New Orleans Style (CNOS) with Reveillon feasts at over 50 of the city's finest restaurants, 80 special holiday events including more than a dozen free concerts produced by French Quarter Festivals, Inc. (FQFI), and Papa Noël hotel deals for all budgets.
CNOS is a collaboration between FQFI and the New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation (NOTMC). Throughout December, FQFI works closely with local retailers, restaurants, hotels, arts and community organizations to produce and promote quality holiday events. FQFI President and CEO Emily Madero said, "As New Orleans prepares to celebrate its 300th anniversary - and FQFI its 35th - Christmas New Orleans Style will celebrate our cultural heritage and showcase the best of NOLA's emerging talent. Our concert lineup at historic St. Louis Cathedral and St. Augustine Catholic Church features the city's most beloved, talented musicians; at restaurants all over the city, diners can take a bite of history with a traditional Reveillon dinner or enjoy our haute cuisine by selecting a contemporary menu. From traditional to modern, we have so much to offer!"
Christmas New Orleans Style 2017 . CNOS ends on Twelfth Night, January 6, 2018 when the Krewe de Jeanne d'Arc parades in the French Quarter and Phunny Phorty Phellows board the St. Charles Avenue streetcar to herald the start of Carnival.

Beginning December 1 and continuing until the last toast on New Year's Eve, and at some spots lasting through Twelfth Night (January 6), more than 20 bars and restaurants will say "Cheers to the Holiday Season" with a total of 35 spirited libations. In 2017 FQFI welcomes new participants Public Belt and The Sazerac Bar.

Please join us for a special evening at the JCC when Walter Isaacson - author of the acclaimed bestsellers Steve Jobs, Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin - brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography.
He was history's most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us?
Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo's genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.
He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history's most creative genius.
His creativity, like that of other great innovators, came from having wide-ranging passions. He peeled flesh off the faces of cadavers, drew the muscles that move the lips, and then painted history's most memorable smile. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. Isaacson also describes how Leonardo's lifelong enthusiasm for staging theatrical productions informed his paintings and inventions.
Leonardo's delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance of instilling, both in ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it-to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different.
To read this magnificent biography of Leonardo da Vinci is to take a tour through the life and works of one of the most extraordinary human beings of all time and in the company of the most engaging, informed, and insightful guide imaginable. Walter Isaacson is at once a true scholar and a spellbinding writer. And what a wealth of lessons there are to be learned in these pages." -David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Wright Brothers and 1776
Walter Isaacson, University Professor of History at Tulane, has been CEO of the Aspen Institute, chairman of CNN, and editor of Timemagazine. He is the author of Leonardo da Vinci; The Innovators;Steve Jobs; Einstein: His Life and Universe; Benjamin Franklin: An American Life; and Kissinger: A Biography, and the coauthor of The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made.

Tigerama began as a recruiting event 35 years ago by renowned Director of Bands, Frank Wickes. Through his vision and fortitude, the event grew and became increasingly popular. After a few short years, Tigerama performed standing room only shows as the band traveled around the state looking for new members.
Through funds raised as a result of Tigerama along with other gracious donors, the entire Tiger Band was able to perform in Dublin, Ireland at the St. Patrick's Day Parade. This marked the first international trip for the band- and every band member was able to attend. This unique experience granted students a chance of a lifetime. Proceeds from this year's Tigerama will go to support the LSU Marching Band and the Department of Bands in the LSU School of Music.

Green Beans with Shallots, Garlic, Toasted Almonds, and Cranberries
Ingredients:
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons ghee
2 medium (95 g) shallots, thinly sliced
1 clove (5 g) garlic, grated
1/4 cup (35 g) slivered almonds
1 tablespoon coconut sugar (or other sugar)
1.25 pounds (525 g) green beans, ends snapped off and bruised bits removed
1/4 cup (15 g) grated Pecorino cheese
1/4 cup (35 g) dried cranberries
Directions:
Fill a 3.5-quart or larger stockpot with water and add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt. Turn heat to medium-high, and while water comes to a boil, start the shallot mixture: In a large sauté pan, melt ghee. Once pan is warm, add sliced shallots, garlic, and almonds. Let cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until wilted and dark throughout. Then, lower heat to its lowest possible setting, stir in sugar, and leave mixture alone.
Meanwhile, once the water has boiled, add trimmed green beans and cook for 4 to 10 minutes, until soft but still crunchy (the beans only need 3 to 5 minutes to cook, but we tend to like our blanched beans a little softer than most people, so we let ours cook even longer; just taste to measure crispness along the way, and stop cooking when the beans are the doneness you like). Once beans are cooked, remove with a slotted spoon to the pan of shallots, garlic, and almonds. Toss right in the skillet, and add Pecorino and cranberries, mixing everything to coat.

David L. Harris
DAVID L. HARRISFriday, December 1, 6:30-9 pm Trombone player, vocalist & composer David L. Harris envisions each tune as an emotional journey with the sound of modern jazz rooted in tradition and founded by the blues, continuously referring back to the "swing" while always giving a true and honest interpretation of the groove. His masterful team joins him on his first solo album, the critically-acclaimed "Blues I Felt", which debuted early in 2017.

Peter Harris Trio & Germaine Bazzle
PETER HARRIS TRIO & GERMAINE BAZZLEFriday, December 15, 6:30-9 pm
Peter Harris, a New Orleans native, has been playing bass professionally since 1996. He has performed around the world with a wide array of artists, including the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Ellis Marsalis & Nicholas Payton. In 2013 Harris released his first CD under his own name, "The Jackal," featuring an impressive lineup of some of the best in the business.
One of the true legends of New Orleans jazz, Germaine Potter Bazzle has been under-recognized nationally and internationally through her entire career. On par with R&B queen Irma Thomas, her voice in jazz is as distinctive as any, with a sweet soul to match. Her exploits singing in the Seventh Ward are unmatched, but she has been known primarily as a teacher. Influenced by the greats like Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billy Eckstein, she took on a repertoire of classic jazz, American popular songs, show tunes, and the music of Duke Ellington.
