| A cornucopia of your Thanksgiving recipes
After that, Sue almost couldn't bear to make the pie again. One year, she even tried to dull her grief by replacing the molasses with honey, but it just wasn't the same. Now, the pie has to be baked every year in memory of Ron. “If I live to be 100, I will never make the pie without remembering him," she said. “I always feel like I need to cut a slice for Ron." This Thanksgiving, many cooks will lovingly mix together the ingredients for a dish that brings their family much more than flavor and sustenance. In the past several weeks, I heard from more than two dozen readers who shared 35 different recipes for dishes loaded with nostalgia. Many slide their scalloped oysters or applesauce cakes into a hot oven every year as a way to carry on a tradition started by mothers or grandmothers.
ERIC WESTON: Surgery sidelines AHS bowler
This week has been a slow week because of Thanksgiving break. I have come up with a sad story about a young man who will be out of action for quite a while with season-ending surgery. Kyle Leathers, a senior at Anderson High School who started bowling years ago at East Side Lanes and now is a four-year veteran of the high school team, is having surgery this next week and will be out for a long time. In fact, he will be bedridden for several weeks. .
Bob Ford: A few more moves and Birds are back in
On the last corner before the last turn into Gen. Billy Mitchell Field in Milwaukee, perhaps the only remaining metropolitan airport accessible by residential streets, strip clubs and tiki bars, one final thought on the motel marquee tried to shine through the thickening snowfall. "Thanks Packers For A Great Season." Monday morning was gloomy in Wisconsin. The Packers had lost the NFC championship to New York only hours before. The snow that illuminated Green Bay's previous playoff win in Lambeau Field was coming a day late this time, further darkening the mood. But, hey, thanks for a great season. That's what was said here in Philadelphia each time the Eagles got within a home win of the Super Bowl and missed, right? Way to give it a good try, guys. Maybe people are nicer up there.
Drawn to science
AXS Biomedical Animation Studio, a growing two-year-old startup housed in the business incubator section of Toronto's MaRS research district, might never have taken root if its three young founders had followed a traditional business model and set up shop near the headquarters of their biggest potential clients. They would have been forced to emigrate to the U.S. as a team or seek employment individually at one of the burgeoning medical animation studios evolving on the American eastern seaboard. Instead, American clients now come to them. AXS's founders Jason Sharpe, 37, Sonya Amin, 30, and Eddy Xuan, 33 are not the sort to be put off by minor concerns about geography and revenue streams; they had already survived the demanding postgraduate biomedical communications program in the Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto.
Todays Letters: French fry arrest was over the top
Maybe Officer Parco was just hungry and it made him a little cranky. I really hope the lawyers don't get involved, when a simple "I'm sorry" will do the trick. Bill Coleman,Dunedin Re: Her wait for french fries ends with a taste of jail story, Jan. 19 Officer should get some manners I have a million things to do today, but after reading this article regarding Jean Merola's experience at McDonald's with Clearwater police Officer Matthew Parco, I just had to sit down and write. I know nothing more than what I read in the paper, but I think his behavior was totally out of order and totally inappropriate! I believe Mrs. Merola did exactly as she was told to do, so why was the police officer in such a hurry that he acted like a spoiled brat? Even if she really had done something criminal, his behavior was inappropriate for a police officer.
