Wednesday recipe from Lake Tahoe Markets
Submitted by paula on Wed, 08/21/2024 - 8:05pm
Are you acquainted with shishito peppers? They are thin-skinned little green peppers that you can cook up in a skillet in just ten minutes. Once they have a little char on them, they’re so irresistible.
Shishito peppers are a delightful variety of peppers originating from Japan. They have a unique flavor profile that is sweet, slightly smoky, and generally very mild. However, about one in every ten can surprise you with a spicy kick. The heat is not overwhelming, but it can be surprising, which adds allure and popularity to this pepper.

Letter: Vacancy Tax / Measure N - Like a Splinter
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 08/21/2024 - 7:02pm
Sadly, Kelly Bessem is correct when she writes in her recent op-ed: "Lately, the divisiveness that surrounds the Vacancy Tax has gone far beyond standard disagreement and turned into personal attacks."
We CAN get along better than this. We may disagree, but we're all neighbors here in beautiful Tahoe. Yet the vitriol continues.
For this, in large part, I blame the Vacancy Tax Ordinance itself. It has become a truly divisive issue.
