Baked with Love! For the last few years my partner and I have been invited to share the love on Valentine's Day with a group of friends. It's a pot luck affair, but I always bring the dessert because I work at Weaver Street Market, of course. One year I brought a decadent chocolate cake, last year I brought a selection of our elegant Opera Cakes. This year I am torn between a specialty make-your-own cake, an assortment of our mousse cakes, or a bunch of our new profiteroles. The profiteroles are tempting because they are bite-size pieces of cream puff heaven and you can eat a whole lot and still think you're watching your waist-line. The mousse cakes make a beautiful presentation and who can resist the flavors: Almond Chocolate (with hearts on them), Tiramisu, Frangelico, and Tropical (with coconut and passion fruit)! More |

 Grice— What It Is and What You Can Do With ItOur local PTA thrift stores are a great source of used everything, from clothing to books and furniture. They're also a great place to bring your old things, cleaning out your house and ultimately making money for our schools. With spring on the horizon, it's the perfect time of year to clean out your closet, getting rid of those items that just hang there unused, contributing to cluttering your space. Every time I clean out my closet, there are a few items I'm tempted to throw out, thinking, "No one would wear this!" Socks with worn out heels, boxer shorts with an overstretched elastic waistband, or that ugly tee shirt I made in high school that no one else could ever love—these items aren't going to make it onto the rack at the PTA. But sending them to a landfill doesn't help anyone. Fortunately there's a solution. Several years ago, the PTA thrift stores began a program of gathering up such unusable clothing, which they called "grice," bundling it and selling it to be recycled. They actually make money off of it, while diverting it from the landfill. If you have such clothing, you can bring it to the PTA's Carrboro location during donation drop-off hours. Please label it "grice" and let the donations staff know it's grice, as well. But why is it called "grice"? I couldn't find any answers online, but a former PTA staff person told me it was named after a man involved with the program at its conception. |

 PLANT Guides the Decisions of Would-Be FarmersKelly Owensby heard about the PLANT program from her friend Jessica Sandford. Kelly had interned on many of our area's finest farms—Ecofarm, Perry-Winkle Farm, Wild Hare Farm—and had a large garden at home, but for 2008 she wanted to be on her own, planting something bigger than a garden and selling her produce. PLANT (People Learning Agriculture Now for Tomorrow) turned out to be just what she needed. Read more. |
