All of the events I could find, in no particular order, after the [...]

Election Night Parties!
Fear the Birds! - Nature has no love for cuteness
I’m borrowing a picture montage from the Mail News on Sunday (UK) and bringing it here, because my mother always loved Herons, and after many canoe trips and lake trips and trips involving herons that I did or (often) didn’t want to attend, I’ve learned why.

“Bisquits”
I have mentioned White Lily Flour a few times on this site, and though I’ve only worked with it a handful of times–one of my housemates in College had sorghum molasses and 20 lbs of White Lily shipped up from his relatives in Tennessee–it’s the incontrovertible Deity of Biscuit flour.

Taste of the Taste of the Nation
subtitle: Nesting prepositional phrases = deliciousness

Potato Champion: New Food Cart in da hood

El Brasero (they own the new white trailer parked under the billboard and are going to move el Brasero operation in there very soon),
