Folks at this issue's
featured Label
Art winery describes it as
a "straight-talking, boots in
the dirt, fun-loving brand,"
and we think the new look captures
that quite nicely. See if you agree!
Finally - it's that
time of year when a weekend by the
pool is all that's on the schedule.
Well, that and some tasty eats that
can be easily adapted to feed a crowd.
For this issue's Party
Planning, simply mix up a
big batch of coleslaw the day before
- the flavors improve overnight! -
as well as several batches of the
Corn Prosciutto biscuits. Then it's
just a question of quickly boiling
shrimp in their shells for a delicious
feast. Oh, and don't forget to top
things off with summery strawberry
sundaes!

Entertaining ideas for summer
tomatoes!

within walking distance. But for one
visit to the Mall, this was not a
sightseeing trip. Just a little dabbling
in the neighborhood scene. Read more
