More shade, I'm corny and new wheels
The day I learned cilantro tastes like soap to some people, my mind was blown. Personally, I’ll chomp it by the bushel. But even if you’re cursed with the soap gene or not, here’s a win: deer treat it like toxic waste.
So if your tomatoes are an all you can eat buffet, put some cilantro nearby.
Anyway moving past my taste buds, I’ve got plenty of actual good news to share.
Tree-mendous update
Neshaminy park just got a leafy lift. The Conservation Corps planted 250 new trees a few days ago!
This gives wildlife more places to live and future park goers a little more shade. For the days I pretend I’m outdoorsy but also get unhinged about sweating.
Yes, I’m corny
Grilled corn has gotta be top 5 summer flavors. So finding a street corn flatbread that’s basically a county fair glow up had me hyped.
Harvest has enough fresh Newtown ingredients to make you briefly consider becoming a garden person. At this point in summer, though, I’m just saying wait until next year. And don’t forget your cilantro 😁
Local Spotlight: Tables that actually survive family dinners
Some furniture is meant to be assembled, moved twice and eventually donated to your neighbor. Other furniture is meant to stick around. Morrisville artisan and our friend Nick Martier makes (literally) one of a kind woodwork. Basically, the kind of stuff that makes your dining room look a lot less like everyone else’s.
Wheels for what matters
Getting to a doctor’s appointment or the grocery store just got easier.
Bucks County Transport is expanding its fleet of wheelchair accessible vehicles, helping more seniors and residents with disabilities get where they need to go. And they don’t need to rely on a neighbor who always tells the same story...
Not me talking your ear off to the point you’d rather drive with anyone else.
What’s your favorite local summer flavor? (If it’s an ice cream flavor, no judgment. In fact, you must tell me. Mine’s chocolate peanut butter).
I’m doing the noble work of eating my way across the county, but I can’t hit every spot alone. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to take one for the team. Sigh.
Have a great Tuesday and I’ll see you Thursday for the weekend roundup!
May your taste buds be blessed with the non-soap gene,
Cait, From Bucks
