This full Moon corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It is also called the Barley Moon, because it is the time to harvest and thresh the ripened barley. The Harvest Moon is the full Moon nearest the autumnal equinox, which can occur in September or October and is bright enough to allow finishing of all the harvest chores.

FRESH & LOCAL:Fall Fruit
Leaves turning colors, chunky knit sweaters, brisk fall air-- that's not exactly autumn in Louisiana. Instead we have the pleasure of waking up to temperatures slightly below 80 degrees, and the arrival of citrus, greens, and others to the farmers market. As the temperature inches its way down, we have turnips, radishes, and the fall crop of field tomatoes (creole or otherwise) to look forward to. Our leaves will continue to be green and you will probably have to take off that cardigan by lunchtime, but we will celebrate the season with pumpkins, in soup or latte form. In honor of keeping the Uggs packed up for at least one more month, please enjoy this haiku:
Autumn vegetables Squash, pumpkin, potatoes, greens Yum, please give me more!

VENDOR OF THE WEEK:L'Hoste Citrus

Lester is proud to be one of the only certified organic citrus growers in the region, and has recently retired from his day job as a chemist, giving him extra time to grow his citrus and expand his farm. For now, look for his table full of organic satsumas and persimmons - he says it's among the highest quality crops he's ever had. In the coming months as we delve deeper into citrus season you can expect meyer lemons, navel oranges, blood oranges, grapefruit, and kumquats, too.

Satsuma Madeleines
Satsumas are creeping into the market and what a better way to celebrate than satsuma madeleines! Try this delicious recipe from For the Love of the South which calls for lots of butter and local honey. Find satsumas and honey at all of our weekly markets!
Ingredients
8 tablespoons (1 stick) of unsalted butter, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons of local honey
130g granulated sugar
Zest of 1 satsuma
3 large eggs, room temperature
Pinch of kosher salt
150g of all-purpose flour sifted
1 teaspoon of baking powder
2 tablespoons of satsuma juice
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Direction
In a small skillet over medium heat, cook butter until browned. Take off heat and stir in honey. Set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine sugar and satsuma zest. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips. Add eggs and whisk on a high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk together salt, flour and baking powder in a small bowl.
Whisk the flour mixture into the egg mixture until combined. Add browned butter, satsuma juice, and vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and whisk for another minute. Transfer the batter to a large plastic bag. Chill for 2 hours or up to 2 days.
Preheat oven to 375°
Brush a madeleine pan with melted butter. Cut a hole at the end of the plastic bag and pipe the batter into the molds, filling the molds ¾ of the way. Gently tap the pan onto the counter, releasing any air pockets and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden around the edges. Arrange on a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!

Have a Drink for MS, Tuesday September 25, 5:30 to 7:30 PM - Twelve years. That's how long Kerry and I have been training for and riding the Multiple Sclerosis Bike 150 to raise funds and awareness for this debilitating disease. Over the years Team Swirl, our group of dedicated riders, has raised more than $420,000 in the fight against MS, each of us literally logging thousands of miles on our bikes so that we can make a difference. All we are asking of you is to come have a few drinks with us on Tuesday as we pair up with one of our sponsors, James Moises & Bizou Wines, for a wine tasting to benefit Multiple Sclerosis. For $25 you can taste 6 delicious wines, snack on some "build your own tacos" donated by Chef Richard Papier and Arana Taqueria and, most importantly, make a difference in the life of someone with MS. That's it, an hour of your time socializing and relaxing, drinking great wine for a small donation. If you know anyone with MS you know how important this is, we hope you will join us. You can purchase tickets in advance here or pay at the door, MS Fundraiser
Wednesday Night Flights, Pet-Nats! Wednesday, September 25, 5:30 to 7:30 PM Don't know where to begin with this natural fizzy wonder of the wine world? We are here to help! While the technique and wines have been around for centuries, over the past few years this naturally sparkling wine, pétillant naturel, has become the bubbly darling of the wine industry. Pét-nats are naturally sparkling wines made using the méthode ancestrale, a winemaking technique that involves bottling a still-fermenting wine, allowing it to finish fermenting in the bottle, building up pressure and making the wine bubbly. The resulting juice, typically capped up with a crown cap in lieu of a cork, tends to have high acidity, low alcohol, and at times, just a hint of sweetness. Because they ferment naturally and are left to their own devices, pét-nat wines are sometimes a risky business with some wines varying from bottle to bottle.
Join Erin & Uznea for this fun and delicious flight of 4 wines from New Zealand, Italy and France. If you'd like a little something to snack on with your wine, resident cheesemonger Casey Foote will select and present a pairing plate ($10 with flight, $15 without the flight). No standing in line for our Wednesday flights - you sit at a table, we come to you and pour tableside complete with lots of educational info on what you are drinking. The flight of 4 wines is $20 - reservations are highly recommended as we can only seat walk-ins if space allows. All wines and cheeses are available for purchase to have at Swirl or you can take them to go. Click here for more information and reservations, Pet Nats
Champagne Education Series, Part 4 - Classic Champagne, Blending it All Back Together, September 27, 6-7:30PM - We spent the early part of the summer breaking champagne down into its "building blocks" of component grapes - Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. And while we certainly love the way blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosés can showcase each of those components, the fact remains that these styles are the least common. The "classic" champagne - a blend of all 3 grapes, and of wine from multiple years - is the time-honored quintessential style that made the region known around the world. However, as you can imagine, they aren't all created the same. Tonight, we'll sample a variety of wines that are all built on this "classic" style, but will show you how the winemakers can highlight or emphasize different components of the blend to give us delicious variations on a theme. We'll also use this opportunity to try some new wines and revisit an old favorite or two that we haven't shared with you in a while as we pursued other themes. Each single class is limited to 12 people (we will open a waitlist if there is more interest) and will be accompanied by various cheeses and snacks, cost is $45/class. Reservations are required and you can do so here: Classic Champagne

The New Orleans Conference will use four smaller hotels on one of New Orleans famous streets - St. Charles Ave., where you will find the oldest streetcar line in the city. The hotels we are using are all on the streetcar line as well as Tulane University - where the paper sessions will be located. Three of the hotels we will be using are very close to each other and the fourth is the closest to Tulane. The next conference update will give you information about each hotel and how to make your reservations. The hotels are: The Columns Hotel, The Hampton Inn, The Best Western/St. Charles Inn. The Park View Historic Hotel The Columns is two blocks from the Hampton Inn, and the Best Western Hotel. If you are driving to New Orleans, you should consider reservations at the Hampton or Best Western as they have parking lots. The Columns only has street parking. As mentioned previously, the Park View is close to Tulane with limited parking.
The conference will begin Wednesday, September 26th with the board meeting either at the Columns Hotel or the Hampton Inn.
On Thursday, September 27th we will have a bus tour of several sections of New Orleans. Other on-your-own-tours will be made available if needed. The bus tour will start by going into the Bayou St. John area with a tour of the Pitot House. In close proximity is our next stop - St. Louis #3 Cemetery. Then we will head to the Lakefront Airport to tour one of New Orleans finest Art Deco buildings. After lunch at the airport, we will go to the Chalmette National Battlefield. From the battlefield we will head to the neighborhood called Holy Cross to tour some of the newer type houses built post Hurricane Katrina. We will also make a quick stop at the Doullut Steamboat Houses built in the early 1900s. These two steamboat houses are the only ones in New Orleans. Lastly on the way back to 'Uptown' New Orleans, we will stop at one of the old Public Markets - St. Roch for refreshments.
We will have our opening reception Thursday evening at St. Alphonsus, one of three Roman Catholic Churches that were located in the neighborhood called The Irish Channel. Notre Dame de Bon Secours was damaged by a hurricane in the 1920s and had to be destroyed. St. Mary's Assumption (across the street from St. Alphonsus) is still an active Catholic Church, but St. Alphonsus was deconsecrated and is used as a museum and center for cultural functions.
On Friday, our paper sessions will be held at Tulane University. We will stay at Tulane University all day as the Awards Ceremony and Banquet will be held in the same area as the paper sessions.
Saturday will be the all-day bus tour to at least three plantations along the Mississippi River - one on the east bank and the others on the west bank of the river.

30×90 BLUESWOMEN WITH SPECIAL GUEST AL "CARNIVAL TIME" JOHNSON AT OGDEN AFTER HOURS
/// September 27 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
30X90 New Orleans Blueswomen are known for their raw, deep-rooted blues, New Orleans R&B, originals and harmonies with an attitude. These Louisiana-born ladies got together post Katrina to help rebuild their city, celebrate their survival, and sing their blues. Influenced by Muddy Waters, Big Mama Thornton, the Meteres, Etta James and others, they regularly feature special solo artists. Why the name "30 x 90"? Coordinates for a good time, and New Orleans' place on the planet!
Johnson returned to New Orleans at the age of ten settling in the Lower 9th Ward. His early musical influences included Sugar Boy Crawford, Fats Domino and Smiley Lewis, to name a few. At 17, he recorded his first songs, "Ole Time Talkin," and "I've Done Wrong," for Aladdin Records. Johnson subsequently signed with Ric Records and recorded a series of songs at Cosimo Matassa's recording studio starting with "Lena," in 1958. "Carnival Time" was recorded for the label in 1960 and is one of the most played and requested classics of the New Orleans Mardi Gras.
In 2007, Johnson was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame and also released the critically acclaimed "Lower 9th Ward Blues", reflecting the plight of his and many others dislocation from their homes after Hurricane Katrina. Johnson resides in the Harry Connick Jr. "Musicians' Village" development in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina refugee musicians.

Family Housing Opens at Children's Hospital
Hogs for the Cause enables families to stay near their child receiving treatment
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - Children's Hospital's Hogs House will open next week with fanfare and fun all in the name of helping families of children receiving medical treatment far from home. Hogs for the Cause, a 501(c)(3) organization pledged $2.1M to renovate a 1920s townhouse on the former military hospital campus so families from other parts of the state seeking care for their children at Children's Hospital, can stay close.
Hogs for the Cause teams and supporters will join in celebrating with a dedication and open house on Thursday, Sept. 27 from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
"Being able to make a huge difference for so many families has been the engine that makes us raise even more money each year," said Becker Hall, founder and CEO of Hogs for the Cause. "We started Hogs for the Cause to help one family, but now our donations will be a "home away from home" for so many more."
The Hogs House will serve as on-campus housing for families from outside the New Orleans region who have a child receiving ongoing treatment at Children's Hospital.
"By providing a place to stay for families who need it, when they need it, the Hogs House will be an extension of the healing environment," said John R. Nickens, IV, president and CEO of Children's Hospital. "It will be a place of rest and respite for families whose children are fighting critical illnesses."
The house includes 13 family suites with private bathrooms, common areas with two family lounges, kitchen spaces, and a laundry room.

Astrology for Beginners
Astrology for Beginners is a 4-week program that teaches you the basics of astrology and how to interpret your own chart and understand how it reflects your character and personality Astrology is very helpful to understand self and others, thereby giving us greater knowledge of who we are, our relationships, and what we came here to accomplish.
Astrology is the oldest symbol system known to humanity. For millennia, it was used in association with the noble sciences of medicine, alchemy and meteorology, and was indistinguishable from astronomy, until certain political and religious leaders decided it was not to be used by the common people. They ridiculed the use of it in public, while secretly continuing to use it privately, and many of them still use it today. That alone indicates what a powerful tool it is!
This 4-week series covers the meanings of the signs, houses, planets and aspects in a logical yet colorful sequence that allows you to make connections and truly understand astrology without having to memorize seemingly unrelated information. We look at patterns that combine numbers, elements and qualities into a magnificent cosmic dance of the 12 archetypes and their many attributes.
Classes will be held every other Thursday evening from 6:30pm-8:30pm. Here is the course outline below:
Week 1: The Language of Astrology. Learning to understand the origins and meanings of the symbols (alphabet) that make up the language of astrology.
Week 2: Moving through the Seasons. Becoming familiar with each sign, the element, quality and gender it possesses, and how each one fits into the 12-fold pattern of a yearly cycle.
Week 3: Domains of Influence. Understanding the 12 houses, the 4 quadrants, the hemispheres and chart forms.
Week 4: Planets and Aspects. Personal, social and generational planets, and how they interact in the natal chart + Interpreting a Chart. Integration, assimilation and intuition.
The cost of the class is non-refundable and non-transferrable. Class is limited to 12 people. Sign up today to grab your spot.

Saturday, September 29th Sidebar 611 S White St New Orleans, LA 70119 www.sidebarnola.com Duo with Oscar Rossignoli-piano
Oct 6th benefit for Covenant House at Buffas Lounge Various artists
Carmela Rappazzo- vocals. Oscar Rossignoli - piano. Jasen Weaver - bass. Gerald T. Watkins Jr.- drums. Steve Lands- trumpet. Jeronne Amari Ansari - sax. Mark McGrain - Trombone on 'Keyhole', 'Howlin' At The Moon'. Steve Glenn - Tuba ' Howlin' At the Moon'. Mark Carroll and Paul Sanchez - backing vocals on 'Howlin' At The Moon'. Mahmoud Chouki - Lutar on 'State of Grace'. Pete Snell - Guitar on 'Genie In A Bottle'.
"Genie In A Bottle" introduces Carmela's distinctive and playful voice in a story that asks if having a genie grant her wishes would result in having all of her problems solved and happiness taking over. Pete Snell guests and takes a quirky guitar solo that adds to the mood. "Keyhole" is a sensuous tale about seeing what happens behind closed doors while the dreamy atmosphere of "Haunted" relates the singer's painful memories of a past love. "Howlin' At The Moon," a New Orleans parade tune with exuberant trombone from Mark McGrain, features the narrator cutting loose from the past, losing her inhibitions, and simply having a great time. "Rush Of Heat" is a swinger that states that having a strong physical attraction is not necessarily love. "State Of Grace," a spiritual piece in memory of Margaret Whitton, very effectively features Chouki's lutar and Ansari's soprano. "Lullaby Of The Leaves", "Revenge", a delicious tale of getting even with someone who did the singer wrong, and "Making My Way Back To You" (which has Carmela's mellow vocal contrasting with the lyrics about a tumultuous journey) conclude the well-rounded and continually intriguing program. Born and raised in New York, Carmela Rappazzo heard classic music from an early age with her father and five uncles being swing musicians. She performed in off-off Broadway Theater and a few independent films before moving to Los Angeles. While in L.A. she worked with several notable film directors and also sang in local clubs with top jazz musicians. She made her recording debut with Black And White (a standards album with the Jon Mayer Trio) and Regarding Frank (a tribute to 1950s Frank Sinatra) with the legendary pianist Paul Smith. Carmela started writing songs, formed her own trio, and recorded mostly new songs on The Girl Who Dreams Out Loud. Her fourth album, Joseph City, mixed together fresh versions of standards with her own originals. During her period in New Mexico, Carmela acted in local theater productions and worked on the feature film A Bird Of The Air. Her 2013 CD Myths and Legends is comprised mostly of her songs about strong and difficult women, and love gone wrong.

2018 New Orleans Chamber & Entrepreneurs' Organization Presents 3rd Quarter Luncheon with The Glasers
One issue confronts all entrepreneurs: What do you do when you don't agree with key stakeholders - and walking away isn't an option? How can you create thought partners from adversaries? Innovators understand that conflict can lead to growth and prevent a business from becoming stale, but that only happens when business leaders discover how to navigate through life's deadlocks, and create agreement from discord. Even with the best of intentions, many of us react automatically and emotionally, making communication blunders that take a toll on our professional and personal lives.
The groundbreaking work of Drs. Glaser offers evidence-based, tangible skills for turning high stakes conversations into solved problems, strengthened relationships and deepened trust. Learn how to turn conflict into a tool for innovation and growth - especially when emotions are high and the outcome is important. The goal: enhanced productivity, interpersonal cohesion and financial performance.
Based on 40 years of international award-winning research, the Glasers present pragmatic models, including how to raise delicate issues, to convince without being overbearing, and to constructively resolve conflict. Their refreshingly clear approach features flexible guidelines and progressive steps to develop and sustain strong positive relationships-and, when necessary, to repair damaged ones.
The Glasers' presentation style is unique. Former actors as well as award winning researchers and university professors, the Glasers utilize their dramatic skills to recreate compelling conflict scenarios.
This program offers concrete skills and tools to transform conflict into solved problems, strengthened relationships, and deepened trust. What is Entrepreneurs' Organization? While you wear the badge of an entrepreneur with pride, most people don't understand the sleepless nights, the sense of disconnection from your team, and a feeling that you are doing it all by yourself. As an entrepreneur, it can be lonely at the top ... but it doesn't have to be. In 1987, a handful of successful entrepreneurs founded EO to give younger entrepreneurs a safe and secure forum to connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs so they could share their experiences and support each other. 25 years later, EO has grown into nearly 9,000 members worldwide.

"A Love Like This"
How do you handle a love-hate relationship?
NEW ORLEANS, Chris James, national award-winning poet, TEDx speaker and playwright is returning to New Orleans with his new stage play, A Love Like This. The choreo-poem stage play, written and directed by James, takes place on Friday, September 28 and Saturday, September 29 at 7:00 PM at the Ashé Power House, 1731 Baronne Street, New Orleans. It tells the story of two lovers and their roller coaster relationship.
A Love Like This is a poetic love drama focusing on two poets who fall in and out, and back in love. It is masterfully written and delivered with artistic intention.
No stranger to New Orleans, last year James wowed packed audiences with his play, Dear Black People. He is very excited about his new project and can't wait to share it with the New Orleans community. "Their love story is a beautiful contradiction," explains James. "It's about trials; it's about endurance. It's about mental and emotional health. It is proof that love will make you do things you swore you wouldn't, but in actuality, you'd do it as many times as it takes."
The stars are social media phenome EJ Speaks (Darla) and New York City theatre veteran Jermaine McClure (Moorice). Says Moorice, "Sometimes we get to meet the love of our lives; sometimes we don't get to keep 'em." Do they stay together? You'll have to see the show to find out.
The "Pump Boys" sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country. The "Dinettes," Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs that received unanimous raves on and off Broadway. With heartbreak and hilarity, they perform what The New York Times called "a triumph of ensemble playing" on guitars, piano, bass, and even kitchen utensils.

The Victory Belles are a delightful vocal trio performing the music of the 1940s, serenading audiences at The National WWII Museum and across the globe. The music of the 1940s brought hope and joy to our GIs and those on the Home Front alike-and the Victory Belles keep that tradition alive in rich, three-part harmony. Their repertoire includes all the treasured gems of the WWII era plus patriotic classics including a musical salute to each branch of the US armed forces.

City to Increase the Number of Waste Tires Accepted at the Recycling Drop-Off Center from Four to Five
NEW ORLEANS - In an effort to reduce the number of illegally abandoned waste tires, the City of New Orleans Department of Sanitation has increased the number of waste tires that will be accepted at the Recycling Drop-Off Center from four to five. The Recycling Drop-Off Center, located at 2829 Elysian Fields Ave., is open on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Orleans Parish residents can drop off paper products (newspapers, junk mail, phone books, catalogs, office paper, color inserts); plastics #1 through #7 (water, soda, juice, detergent, plastic pots from nurseries, plastic bags, etc.); metals (aluminum, tin and steel cans); cardboard; box board (cereal boxes); Mardi Gras beads; batteries (AA, AAA, AAAA, C, D, 6 volt, 9 volt, Lithium); light bulbs (incandescent and fluorescent); and electronics such as computers, processors, monitors, keyboards, small printers, laptops, ink jet/toner cartridges, circuit boards, X-boxes, Playstations, Wii, MP3/DVD/CD players, DVRs, digital cameras, security systems, networking equipment, UPS, GPS, fax machines, stereos, telephones and phone systems, televisions (limit 4), microwave ovens (limit 4), tires (limit 5), glass (limit 50 lbs.) and organics for composting -- fruit/vegetable scraps (peels, skins, pits, or seeds), tea bags, coffee grounds and paper filter, eggshells, nutshells, seed shells, plain bread, grains, and plain pasta (no toppings, meet, bones, dairy or foods with oil).

The following companies provide their services free of charge as a service to the community:
Iron Mountain -- paper shredding and recycling
CACRC -- e-waste recycling
Republic Services -- single stream recycling
The Composting Network -- composting
Since the City established the Recycling Drop-Off Center in August 2010, a total of 1,193 tons have been recycled. Since the current curbside recycling program began in May 2011, a total of 48,822 tons have been recycled. As a result of the City's efforts since 2010 to appropriately dispose of waste tires illegally dumped and collected from residential properties, more than 214,966 waste tires have been transported to the only LDEQ-approved waste tire processor in the City. The tires collected are recycled.
Occupants of residential properties, which are eligible to receive solid waste collection by the City, are also eligible to place up to four (4) tires next to their garbage collection carts on the second collection day of each week (or on Wednesdays in the French Quarter and DDD). Businesses are not eligible for this service.
Residents are reminded that an ordinance was passed earlier this year (Sections 26-415 through 24-430 of the City Code), which established minimum standards for the storage, sale, repair, removal, installation, hauling and disposal of motor vehicle tires and established a stronger enforcement process with significant fines and penalties.
It is illegal to store more than 20 tires on a property without authorization from LDEQ as a registered Waste Tire Generator or to transport more than 20 tires without a permit from LDEQ, which must be prominently displayed on the vehicle transporting the tires. All tires must be covered to prevent standing water which could become breeding grounds for rodents and mosquitoes that could carry the West Nile or Zika viruses. All Waste Tire Generators must keep LDEQ-approved manifests on site, for a minimum of five years, which document that tires have been legally transported and disposed of by an LDEQ-permitted transporter and tire processor.
The Department of Sanitation is working the NOPD, the Department of Safety and Permits and the Department of Finance to ensure that all tire shops are in full compliance with City and State Codes. The owners of properties that are found not to be in compliance will be cited. As a result of a joint enforcement action involving LDEQ's Criminal Investigation Division and NOPD, arrests have been made for illegally transporting and disposing of tires in Orleans Parish.
