The fate of the Wallingford Farmers Market remains in doubt. Whole Foods (aka "Whole Paycheck") recently capitulated to Monsanto's drive to genetically engineer pesticides into our food supply. What's a lefty, organic-food-lovin' locavore to do? Go CSA, of course! CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture) are farms or groups that will deliver (mostly) locally grown produce to you on a regular basis based on what's in season. You're not going to get strawberries in December, but that's just as well: eating local doesn't…

It was a tough job but someone had to do it. Yesterday I got the call on my Wallyhood bat-phone that Satay (1711 N. 45th St.) had opened and someone had to go over there for lunch and get pictures. Not one to balk at a challenge, I grabbed my trusty little Canon and headed down 45th Street . . . Peter, a co-owner, greeted me at the cash register. The menu is simple: four types of satay, three "dishes" (wok-fried…
