Before the bell rang to change classes, one of my former English students asked me to help him prepare for a test in his health class. He wanted me to name the five food groups.
While the bounty of summer fruits has ended, dried fruits offer a healthy alternative and are a good choice when fresh fruits aren't available.

Good time at Sparetime My first step into Sparetime left me somewhat taken aback by the austerity of the place. Considering its rep as the city's premiere craft cocktail establishment, my expectations ran to walls of art and comfy chairs. Instead, I found myself pondering the vibe perched on the edge of a not-that-comfortable bar stool. Then it hit me like a 106–proof whiskey. It's the perfect blank canvas to encourage conversation. The right style ...
Not your dad's lunch box "Convenient." That's what the term "bento" means in the slang language it originated from in Japan. Today, the two–syllable word signifies a simple boxed lunch that traditionally consisted of fish or meat, rice and cooked or pickled vegetables.

Owner Matt Stallings mans the fryer and puts his heart and ...

Any time I am invited to a party or potluck event that requires a dish, I almost always go with my "famous" meatballs and sauce. This no-fail dish always gets rave reviews from friends and family. Just last weekend I made up a Crockpot full to bring to a work function and they were a hit. I especially look forward to the part where I get to tell people that they are made with turkey ...

I have drooled while watching The Food Network's Bobby Flay and others cook a piece of beef called a tri-tip. Now that I've cooked and eaten one, I know why I was drooling.
