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.

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to update you on the happenings this week at Our Neighborhood School

Tomorrow, Thursday, October 23 we are going to be at Pittsboro Ford with a booth at the Business Expo. The Pizzeria won’t be open during the afternoon, but we should be open by 4 or 5 p.m. for the dinner hour. Shawna, my new best girl, does a good job without me there but go easy on her. I will be at the Expo for the Business After Hours until about 7 p.m.

Subject: The new McDonald’s

If you’re reading this, then two events of earth shattering and life ending proportions have come to pass with nary a hair lost in their wakes of death and destruction.

The first of these is the opening of the new McDonald’s on the Hwy 64 Bypass in Pittsboro. I read the cries of the many on the Chatham Chatlist in angered protest against McDs coming to town as person after person revealed their most intimate painful memories of how this mega-corporation had sewn the seeds of chaos in their lives.

Subject: Chatham County cool places

I would like to echo the recent post about PC’s Cool Place. It is a great place for a meal or just ice cream. A good friend took me there recently and we had a great time. My son’s were treated like royalty. Any place that calls me darlin and takes care of my kids is on my list. Next time you are in Siler City, go check out this little gem. It is not that far off the path, just blocks from downtown.  Tell them Darlin’ sent you.
