What we're eating
Victoria Boucher, campaign director at Community Shares of Wisconsin:
Radish greens! I learned just a few weeks ago that you could eat the greens of radishes (as well as turnips, carrots, and more!) and I have been delighted in trying new recipes since. Thanks to a friendly, informative vendor at the Dane County Farmers' Market, these elusive greens have now worked their way into quiches and stir fries in my kitchen. They have a fragrant, spicy flavor and I highly recommend giving them a try.

What we're reading
Sandy Tabachnick, Isthmus contributor:
Richard Lloyd Parry’s, Ghosts of the Tsunami, is one of those rare books that combines the natural and supernatural through the cool, steady voice of a journalist. Parry was the Japan correspondent for The Times (London) in March 2011 when a 9.0 magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami that killed thousands in northeastern Japan. Afterwards, Parry visited a remote, hard-hit area 200 miles north of Tokyo and encouraged survivors to tell their stories. His voice grows distant in the narrative as Parry gives room to the Japanese people to share stories of loss, sorrow, strength, and visitations from dead victims.

What we're drinking
Devin Renner, marketing director at True Coffee Roasters:
Kombucha from Forage. I’m what you might politely call a beer and pizza kind of guy. Terms like "all natural" and "organic" are not terms I seek out on a label whilst shopping. Needless to say kombucha wouldn't typically be found in my fridge. That is of course until I got my arm twisted into trying Forage’s take on it. It’s light with a subtle fruitiness. It doesn’t have that powerful hoppiness or sour tang that often comes with kombucha. Instead you get just a delightful product that easily works with any meal. Even pizza.

What we're playing
Hillary Gunn, marketing coordinator at Majestic Theatre:
As a lifelong Harry Potter fan, I squealed in excitement when I found out Niantic was creating a Harry Potter version of Pokemon Go, called Wizards Unite. I'm not a big video game OR phone game person –– but I can't be the only nerd casting spells up and down the isthmus. Can I?
