- 5. s r I WISH THISWAS ... This lot on the corner of Orange and Pine is one of the busiest intersections in Orlando, and yet it’s been vacant for over a decade. Local architect, Ryan Young of Interstruct, Inc., suggests that we turn the space into a public park space using 12 dumpsters that would be thought- fully placed on the site before being carefully tack-welded together to maintain position. Then they will be filled with soil and outfitted with a tem- porary irrigation system to allow for the installation of plants and landscaping. A pop-up retail niche would be installed on the Orange Avenue side of the property, complete with a container kitchen for a coffee shop, or a local restaurant satellite. The thought would be to have local restaurants rotate every month in the contain- er kitchen to showcase Orlando’s booming local restaurant scene. SCANTHISFORMORE RENDERINGBYINTERSTRUCT,INC.

- 7. Every time Ivisit Orlando Meats, I’m feel like the proverbial “kid in a candy store.” I want to eat everything on the menu I’ve purchased everything from their custom grass-fed beef blend, sausages, charcuterie, house-made yogurt, fermented goodies, farm fresh eggs; they’re like the best part of a farmer’s market (minus the sweating and typical hangover). After spending a little more time with Chef Eliot Hillis, my respect has grown. I want to be cool and quirky like him. Experimentation is key to Hillis’ process. Phrases like, “charcuterie cages” and “having conversations with bacteria” regularly leave his food scientist-mouth. At the same time, there’s a juxtaposition of the science of things, where food scales, and good old-fashioned taste-as-you-go methodology keeps everything (mostly) in balance. Their Medium Rare Burger is a perfect example of formula and experimentation. Fermented garlic aioli relies on science of fermentation (5% salinity) with balancing nuance of final flavors (we taste everything!). Here’s a version for creating a doable-ish version at home or just to help you appreciate the process and go eat theirs. Either way, your belly with thank you. A LOCAVORE IS A PERSON WHOSE DIET CONSISTS ONLY OR PRINCIPALLY OF LOCALLY-GROWN OR PRODUCED FOOD. After 2ish weeks (or longer—do lots of garlic and have fun with it over time—beware—it’s got some funk to it) In blender/food processor, take 2 cups blended oil and 1 cup garlic (no liquid) and purée. Pour into bowl. Rinse equipment and add 4 egg yolks (OM’s prefer farm fresh yolks!) and 1.5T good Dijon mustard. Begin blending, and ever-so-slowly start to incorporate oil/garlic mixture. Mix only until combined and allow to rest. Flavors will mature. This can live 1+ month in fridge + airtight container; and use this as base for sandwiches, potatoes, salad dressings...use it all! BURGER Buy some good buns, provolone, fry off some good-ass bacon (Orlando Meats does a custom XO sauce, but that’s a challenge for another day!). Portion out a good, dense, cold patty about 1/2-inch thick. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Get a cast iron skillet med-high heat. Place patty in pan to brown a good 2.5 minutes. Swiftly flip with a metal spatula. Add cheese and put a cover (aka “hat’) to let things finish off. You’re looking for a bit of pink in the center with browned outer edges. Grab that digital thermometer and check for 119-128 degrees. Remove to rest at least a minute before mounting up the goods. SponsoredbyLucky’sMarket Take your bun (toast it with some butter or in the burger fat, if you like) and heap on a generous amount of aioli. Drop that patty on. Dig in and enjoy! (We enjoyed the home version with some pickled goodies and fancy potato chips for more aioli dipping) Fun facts: - The Orlando Meats team sells roughly 125 dozen farm fresh eggs a week. - They go through 250 burgers a week and that number swelled to 200 a day during Orlando Burger Week. - Chef Eliot has a new Podcast—@offcutspodcast—great flavor in poor taste; or check out his informative ramblings @saltforge or @cat.house.labs on Instagram. FERMENTED GARLIC AIOLI Beginning—take a bulk jar/bag of peeled garlic cloves. In a pint mason jar with plastic lid, pour in cloves until almost full. Measure out enough water to completely cover the cloves (prob 1.5 cups, or roughly 350 grams water). Dissolve in kosher salt at 5% salinity (magic Google calculation = 17g salt, or 1T). Pour salted water over cloves until covered, and leaving a little breathing room at the top. Loosely close lid and let sit and bubble (look up lacto-fermentation) 10 days or longer. It gets pungent and funky. And so the science continues. If you want to skip this step—just go buy the Fermented Garlic from OM. Proceed.

- 11. MY NS LS JA NE ES YS CE AL EN NE ER CH TE EUROPE: A NATURALHISTORY Chef Kass, former chef and senior food policy advisor to the Obamas, operates under the premise that our grand schemes for personal change often fail because the goal is perfection. He proposes we start small by making slightly better choices tomorrow than the ones we made today. It’s these micro-adjustments that will positively change our lives and impact our planet. He includes a cornucopia of recipes, but the bigger takeaway is a sense of empowerment. “You can’t come back to something that is gone,” Richard Powers wrote in his exquisite ode to trees, The Overstory. In the pages of books, we can find the knowledge and the hope to make every day Earth Day. Here are some the staff at Orange County Library System have chosen to inspire Bungalower readers. BY SAM KASS BY TIM FLANNERY A world-renowned scientist takes us through the natural history of Europe starting 100 million years ago through present day. Written in a lively manner, Flannery’s narrative explores the way the continent has evolved over the course of time spotlighting major events that not only shaped the land but also affected living organisms. great READS OCLS.INFO SPONSORED: “Great Reads” is a regular roundup of books that the Orange County Public Library System thinks you should peruse that month. CHECK OUT BUNGALOWER.COM FOR MORE GREAT READ RECOMMENDATIONS When 17-year-old Essa goes on a weekend spiritual retreat with her new crush Oliver, she expected nothing but a rejuvenating and relaxing experience. When she discovers, however, that her younger sister got lost in the wilderness while trying to follow them, she and Oliver must put their Zen-like plans on hold and put everything on the line in order to save her. Part meditation on the beauty of nature and part environment- based thriller, Emily France’s newest YA offers a one-of-a-kind outdoor adventure. ZEN AND GONE BY EMILY FRANCE Logan ‘s latest pro-nature discourse gives wonderful examples for those looking for ways to better incorporate caring for nature into their everyday lives, and also provides a detailed account of the ways both mankind and trees have intersected throughout history. With a little time and patience, Logan shows the reader multitudes of ways in which people of all backgrounds can live fuller, healthier lives when taking the time to care for the world around them.

Two years ago she had picked up the white stone, believing the ocean pushed it toward her when she noticed it. She took it back to her SoDo apartment. Soon she noticed the stone was never fully itself unless it was wet, so she kept it in the shower. But the thought ceasely nagged her: the stone wasn’t happy there. So OIA to Providence, two hours drive to Wellfleet, then a hike on the Great Island Trail to free it.

And they look nice. #treesarecool TOP TEN THINGS TO KNOW 1) The Imperial Winter Park location is now open. 2) The City of Winter Park wants to “fix” Orange Avenue. 3) The Colonialtown Lucky’s Market has an opening date. 4) Sideward Brewing is now open for business. 5) Baja Burrito Kitchen closed and everyone’s shook. BECOME A SWINGER - Cities are afraid to put in benches because they see them as promoting public sleeping for homeless individuals. You can’t sleep on a swing and they’re way more fun. STOP SPRAYING POISON IN YOUR YARD - We get that you hate mosqui- toes and termites, but we doubt you hate hummingbirds and bees, y’all. But that poison is indiscriminate. SHARE YOUR OLD BOOKS - Don’t want to keep dusting off your “Game of Thrones” collection? Put them in a microwave and stick it on a post and call it a day. Little Free Libraries are all the rage and a great way to share the literary love. PUT A CHAIR AT A BUS STOP - LYNX has 626 shelters in their network and over 4,440 stops to service. That means people have to stand in the sun while they wait for the bus. So don’t just throw out that chair, patch it up and put it at a bus stop. Be sure that it’s safe enough that you’d let your granny sit on it. 12 WAYS TO SAVE THE PLANET PLANT YOUR RIGHT OF WAY - Mowing is for suckers. Plant that strip of land between the sidewalk and the street with some native wildflowers and let it be. Who doesn’t like flowers? PICK UP SOME MORE POOP - If you’re already bending over to pick up Rex’s stinky dump and you see another one right by it, do us all a favor and pick it up. While we’re at it, pick up your dog’s shit so we don’t have to. SLOW THE FUCK DOWN -Driving just 5 mph slower could save someone’s life. A person is twice as likely to die if they get hit at 30 mph versus 25 mph. b y a c t i n g l o c a l l y TAKE TRANSIT - We have a free bus circulator in Downtown Orlando and SunRail. Why not make it a challenge to go car free once a week if you can? DRINK AND EAT LOCAL - Keep your dollars in local coffers by investing them in local businesses. You vote every day with your pocket book for what you want to see in your commu- nity and it helps reduce transportation costs and carbon emissions. GET TO KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS - Sometimes the police are busy, so it helps to be on speaking terms with the people next door. Also, just don’t be a dick: say hello. We’re all in this together. #borrowsomesugar BECOME A 311 NINJA - The City of Orlando is a big place, y’all. Help a brother out by reporting those issues you see in your neighborhood like trees that need trimmin’ and potholes that need fillin’. Go to orlando.gov if you want to see other ways you can help keep the city beautiful.
