Don’t let the rain get you down: just imagine you’re a celery seedling at Goatfell
Beautiful rainy day, if you’re a seedling!

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”
Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.
“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”
The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

“Here are the top 5:
- 5. Chicken Breast: Although chicken might not be the first protein that comes to mind when we start thinking about dinner, a conservative estimate shows some 8 billion chickens are eaten every year in America. The chicken is a descendant of the Southeast Asian red jungle fowl, first domesticated in India around 2000 B.C, and has been enjoyed by humans ever since. With such a long history, there’s not wonder why this is a staple in homes across the world. Here is an easy chicken breast recipe to help mix it up: Curry Chicken Salad
- 4. Coffee: Although the exact date is hard to pinpoint, coffee has been used for its stimulating and delicious effects for hundreds of years and has gained more recent praise for its health benefits. Members at Livestrong reported hundreds of thousands of coffee related indulgences in just one month, 70% of those in the morning, around breakfast. As the weather warms up, here is our favorite way to make a good, clean cup of coffee: Cold Brew
- 3. Bananas: Even though Bananas are not native to the mainland United States, the classic flavor and valuable texture bananas provide keeps us trying to put them in everything. Here’s a great way to get your Vitamin C and Fiber before you even leave the house: Banana Buckwheat Pancakes
- 2. Milk: The United States produces an astronomical 129,000,000 gallons of milk every month of every year. Feeling dairy-experimental with this excellent source of calcium, protein, and other essential vitamins? Here are some interesting facts on this delicious drink and a home recipe for buttermilk:The Benefits of Buttermilk
- 1. Eggs: One reason that eggs may be our most eaten food item is their sheer versatility; I’m not sure there is a time of day that I could not eat an egg. From sweet to savory, from morning till night, eggs are a go-to for many Americans. Next time you reach for this staple, try out this simple yet satisfying Herbed Omelet Recipe.”“

Subtract the egg, change the “chicken breast” to just “chicken,” and switch up the order a bit and this sounds about right for my own diet.
L.A. Needs Its Own Food Sticker
Come May 21st, the various feeds on your social networks, from Facebook to Twitter to the differently-filtered photos on Instagram, will all be chock-full of the same image: A red, white and blue sticker with the words “I voted.”
The sticker serves a dual purpose. Primarily, it’s posted as a point of pride in order to show off how the poster has done their civic duty on L.A.’s Election Day, shaming those who haven’t. Secondly, it serves as an important viral-esque reminder for anyone who has yet make their way to their polling place. (How many among us forget about election days until they see the stickers? And even then, only vote just so they can post photos of their own sticker and make their friends feel lazy?) Those double goals are, ultimately, the point of any sticker, button, patch, tattoo, T-shirt, bumper sticker, or really most signage of any kind. They show off a person’s own decision-making process while urging onlookers to consider theirs. “This is what I did,” the signs imply, “so why don’t you?”
Which is why I’m so intrigued by this recent news out of the Windy City regarding the institution of a “Chicago grown” sticker.
