- Help available for special dietary needs
- December 2, 2008
- Holiday cooking can be stressful, especially when the cook has to cope with special dietary needs. That was the case this Thanksgiving when one of our guests was gluten intolerant. As our company was arriving the day before Thanksgiving, the meal I had planned for that night included a rice dish made with beef broth. After checking labels in the major stores, I purchased a package of beef broth that did not include wheat gluten in its listed ingredients. Being on the careful side, I called the company when I got home to double check and sure enough, though not listed, the broth did contain gluten.

- Cookbooks — don’t you love ’em?

- Senior Center presents variety of speakers through rest of October
- October 21, 2008
- I am usually an early riser but on these chilly mornings when the sun doesn’t make an appearance until after 6 a.m. it is very tempting to linger beneath the warm covers. Back when I was a kid, beds came in two sizes — single and double. And back in those days, box springs were unheard of. Instead, there was a metal coil thing that sometimes poked through the mattress.
