YOU!

The most important day of your life is full of beautiful moments. Capture them!

sweet summer, ahhhhh! you don’t have to live by the beach to just smell that fresh salt in the air—mixing beautifully with the smell of grilled goodies, summer blooms and freshly cut grass of course. Summer smells and tastes are often the aromas and flavors of our childhoods and our best memories. summer is a time of ripening and abundance—a precursor of fall’s bounty but without the bustle of harvest time. summer is a time to savor... the golden glow of the late afternoon, the cozy creak of a porch swing, the feel of grass or sand beneath your bare feet. may the clink of ice in a glass, the smooth crunch of a knife cutting open a watermelon or the metallic thunk of grill tops be the most jarring notes in your summer days, where the living should be easy. enjoy this salty, savory and—as always—celebratory issue of lily magazine, preferably somewhere out of doors where the warmth and peace of a south carolina summer can take your stress level down a notch or two. your soul is calling—tell it lily sent you!

SKILLET MEAL (GRILLED FISH AND cORN): Fresh, local fish on bamboo skewers (pictured here, Mahi and Grouper from Abundant Seafood) • Fresh corn on the cob, halved • Roasted Okra • Homemade Comeback sauce • Old Bay Seasoning • Salt & pepper to taste • Lemons and limes, quartered. Prepare outdoor grill to medium high heat (spray generously with grill non stick). Cut fish into 1-1.5 inch pieces. Carefully place chunks on skewers and brush all over with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Lay fish skewers on the grill for a few minutes (usually around 5) until you can lift the fish without it sticking to the grill and there are distinct grill marks. (Test by gently lifting a piece—if it sticks, leave on longer. Gently turn skewers over and cook until firm to the touch, about another 5 minutes. Grill corn by placing on upper rack or on side away from charcoal. The corn will brighten in color, and get brown grill marks as the kernels caramelize. Roast okra and mix comeback sauce as directed on lily-magazine.com. Serve family style in skillet.

Because it is easier than ever to use your consumer dollars wisely - hip hip huzzah, it is time to celebrate your choices! our area farmers markets are

flourishing, making it easier than ever to buy the freshest, most local food possible.

For those too busy to commit to a weekly farmers market visit there are a multitude of csa’s to

choose from, including meat and seafood products. there are local, regional and national sources

and delivery options for organic, healthier and more sustainable goods to choose from, which begs the response of creating some new lingo, adding phrases like “regionalvore” and “domesticavore”

to our vocab describing more ways to guide our ethical consumer choices.

look, if you can buy local by all means do so. if you can’t buy local, buy regional. if you can’t source regionally,

at least try to buy domestically. and remember that fair trade goods can even make buying foreign products a little easier on

your conscience. we all know that buying and eating local is best. But do the best you can and don’t sweat the rest…

we’re here to encourage, not browbeat after all.

BLUE PEARL TAKES TRANSPARENCY OUT OF THE REALM OF RHETORIC AND INTO EVERYDAY PRACTICE!while you may have heard of their Bluesberry Jam and Blueberry Festival (June 26th this year, mark your calendar!), what you may not realize about Blue pearl is that this lovely, sustainable and largely organic McClellanville farm offers their wonderful products both online and in their Certified Roadside market as well as other area venues. and they rock some pretty amazing workshops as well! encouraging guests to come by and see for themselves, this farm relies on composting, mulching and other natural processes for their excellent products, promising no synthetic chemicals and no gmo’s, woo hoo!

once the blueberries are picked and pruned, Blue Pearl heads to the marshes near Cape Romain to harvest wild Atlantic blue crab.

Handcrafted in small batches! Savory blueberry-chipotle barbecue sauce— Delicious on grilled and roasted foods. Blueberry compote— Intense and naturally sweet, soft-set, low sugar jam made with the richly textured taste of berries.

THE BEE’S KNEESyes, our honey obsession continues… there is something so tantalizing about raw wildflower honey—it’s the very taste of woods, fields and flowers. We love that the 70 colonies of honeybees under the faithful care of Blue pearl forage in safe (read pesticide free) spaces and in those majestic longleaf pine forests we’re so famous for in the lowcountry. and boy do we love those honey-based products. we especially love their petroleum and alcohol free Buzz cream (good for everything and all ages) and their beeswax candles.

BERRY SWEET!hand-picked, gorgeous, huge, sweet—the blueberries that thrive here in the lowcountry are adapted to heat and humidity, usually the rabbiteye variety. and boy do they taste amazing—free radical- fighting flavonoids here we come! while we love them whole, we also love them in unexpected places like BBQ sauce as well as in classics like Blue pearl’s own blueberry compote (which is fruit stewed or cooked into a syrup). no time for a trip to mcclellanville? Find these yummies at the mt.p, sullivans is. and chas Farmers mkts.

GRAB SOME CRAB! what to do when the blueberries aren’t in season? ply the waters of cape romain in order provide live atlantic blue crab to farm clients of course. Fall through spring means you can buy by the pound or bushel from Blue pearl Farms.

Editor Lily uses BPF Cheri’s tweaked “Buzz Off” cream to moisturize And keep bugs away while she works at her own farm—and the finger buzz to protect and heal.

WHAT PRICE, FASHION? who knew the designer duds were the true skeletons in our closets? you’ll never look at overpriced couture or bargain fashions the same way again if you’re brave enough to watch the trending doco the true cost.

the message is simple: the price of clothing has been decreasing for decades, while the human and environmental costs have grown dramatically. The groundbreaking film pulls back the curtain on the untold story of fashion and asks us to consider, who really pays the price for our clothing?

Filmed in countries all over the world, from the brightest runways to the darkest slums, and featuring interviews with the world’s leading influencers including Stella McCartney, livia Firth and vandana shiva, the true cost is an unprecedented project that invites us on an eye opening journey around the world and into the lives of the many people and places behind our clothes. check it out on netflix —come on, you can do it!

IT’S A MAINE EVENT AT IMMORTAL LOBSTER!ok, so it’s pretty hard to get local lobster— but chris and Jared, purveyors of the insanely delish succulent (and sustainable!) maine lobster dishes at immortal lobster use fresh local products in everything else they offer—from fresh local veggies to the rolls and sandwich breads. heck, they also only use sustainable or biodegradable products, snaps to that!

so now that you know you can nosh on yummies from lobster grilled cheese or tacos to a maine (or connecticut) roll with a clear conscience, you can go to theimmortallobster. com to find out their 424 king st hours or check out their Facebook page for other around-town locales.

Fun fact: maine’s lobstermen learned early that unregulated fishing could destroy their livelihood and began protecting the resource in 1872!

THE FLUORIDE CONUNDRUM it’s an interesting question: should any community be able to subject its residents to a chemical additive in their water supply that has this much controversy? we’re not sure about this either - but here’s what a subversively cool org called Fluoride action network claims about this common by product:

1. most developed countries do not fluoridate their water.

2. Fluoridated countries do not have less tooth decay than non-fluoridated countries.

3. Fluoride affects many tissues in the body besides the teeth.

4. Fluoridation is not a “natural” process.

5. 40% of american teenagers show visible signs of fluoride over-exposure on their teeth (it’s the yellowish markings that don’t go away with brushing).

6. For infants, fluoridated water provides no benefits, only risks.

7. Fluoride supplements have never been approved by the Fda.

8. Fluoride is the only medicine added to public water.

9. Swallowing fluoride provides little benefit to teeth.

10. disadvantaged communities are the most disadvantaged by fluoride.

COOL STUFF FOR LILY'S HIP, URBAN 'STEADERS & FOODIES

STEEL CITY MEETS HOLY CITY FOR FRESH FISH IN LOCAL RESTAURANTS! local restaurants with consciences needn’t be frozen out because of serving frozen fish from WAAAAY off. steel city seafood is coming to chas in order to bring fresh, 100% traceable gulf water goodies to the east coast. and to help our local fishing fleets sell atlantic fare to gulf coast (and other deep south vendors)! they will bring a regionalvore option to chefs needing a variety of choices for those ravenous chas foodies and tourists. hip hip huzzah! (steelcityseafood.com)

Steel City hopes to build a processing facility right here in Chas to help local fishermen source to the southeast!

BIN THERE, DONE THAT & BOUGHT THE VEGGIES!oh yeah! the veggie Bin has drool-worthy fresh-as-can-be veggies from all our fav local farms, handcrafted baked goodies (yep, you can get your root products here) and delectable yummies from some of our best local food artisans, which means you can source locally even on days you can’t get to a local farmers market. look for new products like red pepper mash butter (the tasty result of a Banner Butter collaboration with Bulls Bay saltworks —remember them from the winter love issue?) and many more. (facebook/VegetableBin)

ROOT BREAD COwe love local producers who source locally & regionally for their ingredients, don’t you? root’s commitment to building partnerships with southern growers, millers, artisans and chefs helps them achieve their high ideal of creating baked goods “that both nourish and empower our community.” cheers to that!

rooting through their yummy baked goodies is a treat— and thankfully you can find them at some of our fav spots, the veggie Bin, goat.sheep.cow, the Johns island Farmers market and even online—an e-bakery for wednesday bread orders & pickup, how cool is that?

(facebook/Abundant-Seafood)

MEET THE MEAT HOUSE!this Johns island butcher shop ain’t playin’—it’s the real deal thanks to exec chef John houser (now rockin’ it at a lily mag fav restaurant, the tattooed moose) and his desire to provide chef-quality meat to us normal people. the product list is impressive—besides every conceivable cut and type of meat, they have many other goodies (including premium wine and beer) and they even do custom orders. guiltless conscience bonus: they only source from sc’s Bethel trail Farms, a sustainable, humane, and certified farm where the animals are raised and finished on pasture without hormones or antibiotics.

YUMMY FOOD INSTEAD OF MEDICINE!woo hoo and insert lily happy dance here! multitudes of studies show that eating certain foods not only helps prevent or treat most of our worst health problems but also that certain foods can actually reverse those same conditions—in some cases even in a matter of days! aren’t we thrilled to hear some good news about health care rather than all that bad stuff about “disease management” (which is pretty much how our current system works)?

here are some quick facts and an amazing food chart that will get you excited about nutrition as preventative medicine now that we’ve piqued your interest! Bon appetit, y’all!

those radical free radicals! let’s simplify that for ya...we hear the terms “free radicals” and “antioxidant” and “flavonoids” an awful lot. here is the world’s shortest lily-style explanation of what these terms mean:

Free radical - An official dictionary definition says this: an atom or molecule that bears an unpaired electron and is extremely reactive, capable of engaging in rapid chain reactions that destabilize other molecules and generate many more free radicals in the body.

we found a relatively simple explanation of this process at healthchecksystems. com: Free radicals are very unstable and react quickly with other compounds, trying to capture the needed electron to gain stability. generally, free radicals attack the nearest stable molecule, "stealing" its electron. when the "attacked" molecule loses its electron, it becomes a free radical itself, beginning a chain reaction. once the process is started, it can cascade, finally resulting in the disruption of a living cell.

some free radicals arise normally during metabolism. sometimes the body’s immune system’s cells purposefully create them to neutralize viruses and bacteria. however, environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke and herbicides can also spawn free radicals.

normally the body can handle free radicals, but if antioxidants are unavailable, or if the free-radical production becomes excessive, damage can occur. of particular importance is that free radical damage accumulates with age.

studies show that free radicals are responsible for a multitude of degenerative diseases and processes, especially atherosclerosis (causing heart attack, stroke and vascular disease), cancer, diabetes, inflammatory joint disease, asthma and dementia (among others).

Antioxidants - these are compounds that are produced by the body—they basically prevent and fight damage done by “oxidative stress” that is caused by free radicals.

Flavonoid - these are micronutrients that are synthesized only in plants. so they are found in veggies, fruit and even herbs (there are also studies that show it is in wine).

So you see, flavonoids produce antioxidant activity within the body. and that activity is what declares war on the free radical activity that causes disease. studies also suggest that flavonoids are responsible for anti-viral and anti-bacterial effects in the body and even helpful in combatting allergic reactions!

BERRY UNExPECTED! Chef & the Farmer Blueberry BBQ Sauce combines eastern north Carolina’s vinegar-laden barbecue sauce with the fruity depth of summer blueberries. A great way to celebrate the summer season.

RIBS ARE A GREAT

SUMMER TREAT—

THEM, FREEING YOU

UP TO SIP SOME

COLD BEVS WITH

FUN BUDDIES.

TAKE SOME RIBBING!Low and Slow! Some say that’s the secret to amazing ribs. 6 hours in a smoker or smoke for 3 hours, followed by 2 hours cooking wrapped in foil, and finally 1 more hour unwrapped.160 degrees is the magic “inner temp” # for rib meat.remove the membrane from the ribs before cooking. Many say “dry” ribs are the

way to go. nix the BBQ sauce until AFtEr cooking. to keep moist, add 2 tablespoons of a dry rub to one cup of apple cider vinegar or beer and “mop” ribs once an hour during cooking.Coat ribs with honey or olive oil before cooking.Season ribs with a dry rib rub. 2 tablespoons for every pound of meat is a good rule of thumb. Sprinkle dry rub

onto ribs and rub it into the meat, evenly coating both sides.Make sure ribs are room temp before beginning to cook.Pre-heat your smoker to 255 degrees.Add wood chips to your smoker for awesome flavor.Be sure your exhaust damper is wide open to avoid bitter taste in your meat.

A BALANCE OF TANG, SPICE, AND SWEETNESS— WITH A LITTLE HEAT. Small batch with chunks of slow cooked caramelized onions, cracked black pepper, southern molasses, smoky paprika and hints of parsley, and citrus—plus a secret ingredient is in this Bella rouge BBQ!!

Vinegar is a classic BBQ element—this Blackjack flavor is tangy and spicy and good for cooking, marinating and “sopping” during cooking.

Get creative ! Add 1 part to 4 parts sparkling water for a very sweet, tart and refreshing non-spirited “mocktail”; Add 1⁄2 ounce to your favorite cocktail to add acidity and elements of fresh, bright fruit flavors without the need of fresh squeezed fruit juice from your basic citrus varieties; use to make delicious salad dressings, vinaigrettes or gastriques. Acid in cooking, it can go either savory or sweet, giving food an extra punch.

farmers, check. that’s so lily! Here’s what they say about the health benefits of vinegar:• May prevent weight gain resulting in less body fat accumulation.• Can convert into citric acid, which can eliminate and absorb lactic acid buildup, therefore can decrease muscle pain and fatigue. It is believed that vinegar’s effect on blood pressure is linked to renin activity reduction. renin is an enzyme that regulates blood pressure. High renin levels = Increased blood pressure. Studies have found that vinegar can act as an antihypertensive.• drinking vinegar daily promotes healthy functioning of vital organs, preventing bodies from becoming excessively alkaline, by balancing the natural pH.
