it’s hurricane and election season
Any day now, we might get a hurricane or two that stirs things up. Just as hurricane season ends, we have an election, but much earlier than that, candidate signs will be on display to let us know who is running for what in November. Here is useful information—nothing political, just the facts, ma’am. If you voted by mail in ballot last year, you probably received your ballot for this year as they were mailed out July 21.
There are two elections:
(1) the 2022 Primary Election to be held on August 23, 2022; and (2) the 2022 General Election to be held on November 8, 2022.
Everyone in Indialantic by-the-Sea is in Precinct 506 and votes at Westminster Episcopal Church. We are also in the following districts -- FL State House District 32 | FL Senate District 19 | County Commissioner District 5 | School Board District 3 | Sebastian Inlet District | and South Brevard Special Recreation District. We do not have elections scheduled for either School Board District 3, nor the County Commissioner District 5 this year.
You might be curious to know there are 2,524 registered voters in our precinct. Of those, 668 are registered democrats, 1,141 are registered republicans, 654 have no party affiliation, and 61 have “other” party affiliation.

beachside produce market’s linguine with tomatoes
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the lemon slices on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until they’re golden brown around the edges. Finely mince the lemons and set aside.
In the bottom of a medium-sized pot, combine and warm the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt. In a separate pot, prepare the pasta according to the package directions, cooking until al dente. Drain, but reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water. Return the hot pasta, reserved pasta water, the arugula, and toss. If necessary, gently heat until the arugula wilts and the pasta is warmed through. Add the thyme, tomatoes, lemons, and toss again. Top with the mozzarella, pine nuts, and basil. Gently toss, season to taste and serve. Add a little--or a nuclear winter--amount of Parmigian cheese.
*How to roast tomatoes: (preheat the oven to 250 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the tomatoes in half and place cut sides up in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and roast until shriveled and browned around the edges.) Remove from oven and bump up the heat to 350 degrees to roast the lemon slices.
