FEAST partners, @ruckusroots are excited to present an online exhibition and culmination of our collaborative program, Through Lines, with community members from South L.A. In a series of workshops facilitated by Teresa Flores with assistance from Scarlett Reyes, our work together repurposed household items to make art virtually during the pandemic!
🎨
Join us for an online exhibition this Sunday, November 22nd at 1pm to celebrate and view the work! All are welcome to attend and registration is free!

This exhibition is the outcome of a series of online workshops that took place during Fall 2020. A small group of women from South L.A gathered weekly to exchange ideas, and develop new skills and techniques for repurposing household materials into art to create a more pleasant home environment during the pandemic.

Do you know what plant is considered the "King of

Do you know what plant is considered the "King of the Vegetables" in India? If you guessed eggplant, you'd be correct! A member of the nightshade family, these white or purple oblong fruits originated in India and have been cultivated in China for over 1,000 years. High in antioxidants and about 95% water, eating eggplants can lower the risk of heart disease and may promote blood sugar control, making them an EGGcellent addition to your next meal! 🍆 💫💜

Fun Fact: In most countries, eggplants are called "aubergines," a term that oriiginates from the ancient language of Sanskrit. In Renaissance Italy, the eggplant was known as "mala insana," or, "crazy apple." ✨🍎

How to enjoy: A perfect snack for the cozy fall weather are squash rounds! Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Slice your squash into 1/4 inch thick rounds and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, cool, and enjoy with your favorite fall drink! 🍃👩🏽‍🍳🌟

"Chili? Shishito? Basque Fryer? Can you guess what

"Chili? Shishito? Basque Fryer? Can you guess what type of peppers these are? Produced from a flowering plant, there are 50,000 types of these sweet or spicy fruits!🌶💫

Fun Fact: There is a system called the Scoville Scale that measures the spiciness level of peppers! Capsicum, found mostly in the seed of the plant, determines the spice level and can be measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU)🔥✨

How to enjoy: To make roasted pepper, drizzle oil to coat the skin and sauté in a high-heat skillet until blistered. If you're looking for a cooler dish to beat the heat, finely chop peppers and stir them into your favorite salsa recipe!"❤️💚

Meet Amy! (@amy.vutrition) When she's not rock climbing, she can be spotted organizing Wednesday FEAST volunteers. As head of Programs, Amy has been with FEAST for almost 3 years and overseas all aspects of program implementation, management, and development.

What is your favorite fruit or vegetable? Pineapple!

Favorite snack? Dried Mangos

Go to weeknight recipe? Frozen dumplings with kimchi (let's be honest 🙂 )

Favorite food memory? When I was younger, my dad used to work as an Ice Cream Man. I would go with him to the warehouse and they would give me all the melted ice cream that wouldn't sell. I think I ate a whole box of Super Star Banana and Chocolate creamsicles in one week. Mmm..

What do you love about FEAST? FEAST promotes everything I believe are necessary ingredients to well-being and quality of life. Food has the power to deepen our relationships with ourselves and others on social, emotional, and physical levels. The safe sharing space that FEAST creates enables me to grow alongside the families we serve by giving us the opportunity to be vulnerable and honest without judgement. It's been quite a ride!

Thanks for all your hard work Amy!
