Subject: November Menu

Hi Everyone,

This month I am adding Pumpkin and Sage Ravioli with Sage Butter to my menu. I roasted the pumpkins this morning and the raviolis look beautiful. I also started making my two soups: Red Soup (or chicken soup if you didn’t grow up in my family) and Pasta Fasule - panchetta, beans, carrots, celery, tomatoes, pasta…very hearty.

Monk!  You are so right about the City Tap.

My husband and I were in there today, after cruising the Marketplace (for a marvelous brunch), and first Sunday, where I was able to get some very nice Christmas gifts, and we loved it!  The decor is beautiful, with both lots of room inside for stretching your legs, and a deck for sitting, plus a pavilion type set up for music.

Subject: Protect the Haw from weedwackers???

Do you really think that he was going to take a trip to the river to throw in his weedwacker???

Why does everybody take everything so seriously now days?

And to Stephanie… Do you think Steve really wanted an application for a popularity contest? Personally, I look forward to Steve’s’ banters with Hipvegan and others. It is entertainment for me! Wait, I may have
figured it out. Are we trying to emulate Chapel Hill, or are these respondents all from there? Please people, lighten up and let’s have some fun at the same time we are discussing what is happening in our community. Here are a few of my thoughts…

Hi Everyone,

Well, the school year is under way and I am having a wonderful time being back in the classroom. I know what you are thinking,…how can she teach all day and cook too…well it’s pretty tricky but if you really want to know, put your running shoes on and follow me around for a day. I’m sure you will figure it out AND lose a few pounds.
