Community Food Program

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you don’t know about the Black Panther Peoples Free Food Program your not as woke as you think. Feeding the poor and underprivileged was a very important part of  Black Panther Social Programs and the Free Food Program and the Free School Breakfast Program: feeding kids hot breakfast before school, was co-opted by America. 

At Bissel Gardens, we have an Allotment Garden for folks that want to “farm” their own 8X4 bed, but in the Propagation Area, gardeners, especially veterans, grow food and share in everyone’s bounty in a true “Community Garden”. Just in time for Thanksgiving, we’ve been harvesting the last of the summer Collard Greens. I’m making a big pot! Enjoy the day. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy

As the pandemic disrupts global food supply chains, people may have to depend more on locally grown food. Experts expect the number of people suffering through severe food shortages could swell to 265 million people in 2020.
Bissel Gardeners are glad they have been community gardening and raising food for themselves for more than 25 years. We hope when the NYC Pause In Place is lifted more folks will see the need for community gardens and will join us! Chuck the Gardener

The Art of Mechanics

The Art of Mechanics

There are few things worse than using the wrong mechanic and, trust me, someone is sure to notice. Most importantly, crisp mechanics keeps you out of trouble. Sloppy mechanics are hard to understand by the table crew causing them to ask you repeat it.

Cream-style soups are a favorite for warm, soothing meals on cold winter nights. The addition of a cup or two of cooked beans can stretch canned or homemade soup into a complete, protein-rich meal in just minutes. Stir a can of drained rinsed white beans into tomato soup. Or try pinto beans added to cream of celery soup.
