Biden moving forward with additional food assistance ahead of stimulus

In an executive order signed Tuesday, Biden directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to cover 100% of the cost to states and localities so they can partner with restaurants and nonprofits to prepare meals for soup kitchens and food pantries to distribute.

The order essentially made the bipartisan FEED Act a reality without a Congressional vote. The proposal, which was originally part of the Biden administration’s $1.9 trillion emergency relief proposal, is a win-win that allows restaurants to stay open and pay employees to prepare meals for the needy.

The Empire State Building and Its Related Buildings Are Now Powered By Wind

The iconic Empire State Building that has crowned Midtown Manhattan since the early 1930s is now a game changer in American architecture in a different way: by becoming completely powered with renewable energy. The Hill reports: Announced on Wednesday, Empire State Realty Trust (ESRT) confirmed that it struck a three-year contract with Green Mountain Energy to power its entire commercial real estate portfolio with renewable wind electricity. This reportedly makes ESRT the largest user of green power in U.S. real estate. Green Mountain Energy, based out of Vermont, is a leading sustainable energy provider, offering plans with public and private real estate groups using solar panels and wind turbines as the source of electricity.

ESRT controls more than 10.1 million square feet of real estate, all of which will be powered by renewable energy for the next three years. This switch will spare about 450 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere. This is roughly the equivalent of every New York State household turning off all of their lights for an entire month. Prior to this partnership, the Empire State Building underwent renovations a decade ago to help convert the building to be more environmentally friendly, resulting in a 40 percent reduction in energy usage prior to the contract with Green Mountain.

Mushroom caviar

We need:

Mushrooms, like champignons (preferably dried) – any, the amount of grams depends on your appetite
Onions – 1-2 pcs.
Garlic – 1-2 cloves
Salt, spices – to taste

  1. If you use dried mushrooms (and I strongly recommend using dried mushrooms), soak them for 2-3 hours. Moreover, first fill them with water, soak for 15 minutes, drain the water. Fill a second time, drain after 15 minutes. Let them stand in the third water for the prescribed time. Then we boil the mushrooms, it is possible in the same water, until tender.
  2. Cut the onion into small cubes and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. When frying, I advise you to add thyme, coriander to onions. When the onion is ready, put finely chopped garlic in a skillet, let it just warm up.
  3. Pass the onion, garlic and mushrooms through a meat grinder. You can be right hot. We mix everything properly, try what is missing – add.
