I have to admit to having gotten a bit obsessed with the Artemis 2 mission at the start of this month. Though they were navigating what seemed like immeasurable blank space they were tethered to us back here by the depth of their curiosity, their bravery and their love for eachother.  Beautiful and mesmerizing events were unfolding daily. At one point the astronauts called back to Mission Control with a proposition, to name a feature on the Moon Carroll after the Commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, they called her "family" and said this feature was a "bright spot" . After their request the astronauts, these brilliant courageous men and women, embraced each other - suspended in the air floating through that moment. The video is a stunning slice of humanity.

This week we have tahini from Medford based Just Us Foods for your shares and boy oh boy is it amazing.

Tahini is a rich savory spread made from ground up toasted sesame seeds and is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine.  And for the word nerds in the room (hello, fellow travelers) the word tahini comes from modern Greek word takhini, based on Arabic ṭaḥana "to crush", which coincidentally is the name of Joe's next band.
