With somethought, care and maybe a littlebutter, holiday traditions canbe a way to forge lifelong habitsin young and/or picky eaters.For Rufiena Jones, youtheducation coordinator at theSanta Monica Farmers Market,it was a bright orange side dishthat rooted her in the holidayseason and opened her palate tomore adventurous vegetables.“I have loved candied yamssince I was a kid. I always feltlike I was getting away with eating dessert for dinner. Theywere slightly different everyyear, as cooking goes, butalways warm, sweet and had theright amount of spice. Granny’sspecial touch, I learned later asan adult, was that cherryextract. Now that I’m older andwant to reduce the amount ofsugar I consume, I’ve reduced ita little bit, but the butter stays,”she said. “Candied yams weremy gateway veggie dish to otherreal food like string beans andgreens. Paired with candiedyams, I was willing to step outof my picky eating comfortzone and try almost anything.”Her version started with hergrandmother’s recipe and usesclassic flavors like vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg to represent the warmth of the holidays.Jones’ dish features the seasonal staple of yams and whileshe grew up eating them duringthe holidays it wasn’t until shebegan working with farmers atthe local markets that she realized why some vegetables wereonly around during certain partsof the year and her contact withthe growers has given her a newappreciation for working withthe kind of produce only available straight from the growers.SEE YAMS PAGE 5FROM THE SANTA MONICAFARMERS MARKETEditor’s Note: The Daily Press workedwith the Santa Monica Farmers Marketto produce a series of recipes fromlocal chefs and vendors.

It has the texture of thebroccoli, it’s creamy, it has bitefrom some lemon, you can top itwith some crispy bacon and every-thing about it is just wonderful.”Low said it’s a recipe that hasstrong memories. She literallycan’t remember a time when itwasn’t on every holiday tableand it has been passed downfrom one generation to the next.“This is a recipe that’s consistent year to year with myfamily,” she said. “Thanksgivingand Christmas, it’s always afavorite even with people thatdon’t like vegetables.”Almost every ingredient forthe dish can be sourced from theSanta Monica markets and Lowsaid Santa Monica’s year-roundmarkets provide residents withthe special opportunity to selectfresh produce from local vendors.“When you buy from a store,it’s not as fresh as it is at the market, hands down,”she said.“Whenyou’re getting it from the marketyou’re buying from a farmer, ortheir employee, and it was pickedthe day before. The taste, look,nutrition are all better.”With several meat/poultryvendors, Low said it’s entirelypossible to fill the entire tablefrom local vendors.

Is it anobscure bit of political infighting, a clash ofpersonalities, that doesn’t really mean anything to residents?Or could it possibly change the way ourCity is run? Take much of the big moneyinfluence out of our elections? Give minorities, and neighborhoods, a voice? End the 40year one-party dominance of SMRR that hasgiven us a steady stream of Council membershell bent on developing Santa Monica into ahigh-rise megalopolis-by-the-sea, with all theresultant problems of traffic, crime, corruption, skyrocketing rents and more, that tryingto cram way too many people and big buildings into 8.4 square miles inevitably brings.It could. It remains to be seen. But onething you should put your money on: district voting will come. Soon. How can I be soconfident? I’ll go with the side with the perfect record. Undefeated.Two dozen times California cities havebeen sued under the CA Voting Rights Act(CVRA) to end racial discrimination enabledby at-large voting, and two dozen timesthey’ve lost. Most saw the writing on the walland acquiesced when the lawsuit was brought.Three didn’t, and they suffered the consequences. Millions in costs to defend a lostcause, and in the case of Palmdale, a mayornow fighting legal charges of corruption.So why is Santa Monica fighting thisinevitable change tooth and nail (with oneof the most expensive law firms you canfind, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher)? Plaintiffsattorney Kevin Shenkman estimates a losswill cost the City around 7-8,000,000,maybe more.HERE’S WHAT GETS MEMany issues involved here, but what jumpsout to me is how willing our Council is, onceagain, to spend a ton of our money, on a lawsuit that has very close to zero chance of success, for their own personal aggrandizement.It’s our money, so it’s play money tothem. Another 7M for stylish but ridiculously unusable bus seating almost everyonehates, still working on it, still spending.Another 7 to close those few feet of runwayat our airport that now may not even achievestopping jet flights. And 7 or 8 for this.How about a possible 100,000,000 foroffice space, the coming City ServicesBuilding, approved by Council to ridiculous“sustainable” standards that may not even belegal or buildable.When all Council members are electedat-large, no one has to take the blame foranything. Talk to the other members, theycan all say. But when your district’s representative throws millions down the toilet, youcan hold them accountable.If the suit is successful, the next electionwill see a free-for-all. All sitting memberswill lose their seats and have to run, in theirown neighborhoods.Sounds good to me.QUESTION OF THE WEEK: City Council memberand former mayor Tony Vazquez hasannounced he is running for the CaliforniaBoard of Equalization (BOE). Soundsobscure, and to most of us it is. But it is a veryimportant body to a lot of people, particularly business people and corporations, becauseit settles questions about taxation rates.According to the Sacramento Bee, therehas historically been a lot of alleged corruption there. In recent years, news outletsincluding The Bee have revealed questionable donations that appeared to benefit elected members, and an expensive renovation ofa board member’s office that cost taxpayers 130,000. A damning audit in March showedthat board members inappropriately intervened in the agency’s daily operations (4,200employees), and created a climate of fearamong state workers about retaliation fromelected officials, which may have allowedfaulty accounting that misallocated tax revenue. A study revealed rampant nepotism,that one in five BOE employees are related toother employees, or have a close personalrelationship, and that family members havenepotism conflicts in chains of supervision.Last year it collected more than 60B (yes,billion) in revenues, about 30 percent of thetotal revenue needed to run everything in thestate of California. The Board had 4,700employees and 617 (!) million annual budget.Board members are paid a 137,000 salary andare each allowed to hire a 12 member staff.(Finally, my no-’count cousin can get a job.)But in June, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation stripping the Board of most of itspowers. So why would anyone now wantthat eviscerated office? Well, 137K by itselfis not a small incentive. Plus perks, of course.Still, really big perks.And like our former police chief here who,I believe, saw the writing on the wall about theimpendi
