Doherty's hobby was borne out of his frustration with commercially produced maraschino cherries - that syrupy sweet taste and candy-red hue. So the 27-year-old began buying cherries from the local farmer's market and preserving them himself in maraschino liqueur. "It's just a cleaner, more vibrant taste," Doherty says. When he realized how much the homemade cherries improved the flavor of his drinks, he began experimenting with a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables - anything that could be added to a cocktail...
...with most food trends, the innovators of the canning renaissance are professional chefs whose goal is to feature local produce on their menus, even when they're out of season. At the acclaimed Arrows restaurant in Ogunquit, Maine, chefs Mark Gaier and Clark Frasier grow a majority of the produce they use in the kitchen. From their own gardens, they're currently harvesting Serrano peppers, cucumbers and daikon to pickle and use off-season, as well as late-season bumper crops of rhubarb and eggplant, neither of which they've ever tried pickling before, but are excited to try.

...credit standards across the board. Add in anecdotal evidence - like Bank of America declining to increase lending to McDonald's franchisees even though the two companies have a long-standing partnership - and things do seem to be cascading down to Main Street, or whatever road is home to your local fast food joint. In August, 67% of small-business owners said they'd been affected by the credit crunch, compared with 55% in February, according to surveys by the National Small Business Association...
...they've sunk. Decaying wreckages leach toxic chemicals like petroleum products and PCBs that remain in the water harming or destroying sea life and potentially enter the food chain, eventually getting ingested by humans. Sometimes dead watercraft foster the growth of new sea life that threatens the pre-existing local ecosystem. On Palmyra Atoll, 1,000 miles south of Hawaii, a population explosion of corallimorph, an aggressive creature similar to anemones and coral, killed almost all the coral growing around a long-line fishing vessel that sank in 1991, according to a report published in August in the journal PLoS...
...from outside of the United States. While it makes for a more varied student body than one would meet at most state schools, Harvard’s geographical diversity contributes to a certain amount of loneliness. There are times when all we really want is a sandwich from a local restaurant back home or the face of a friend from high school, even if we didn’t particularly like that restaurant or person when we actually lived at home. It is this longing for things associated with our distant homes that, upon meeting other people from our towns...
