Thrifty Good Food Comforting Bisque and Oriental Pork
Last week we were promised a rousing departure of summer as we tracked Hurricane Lee along the Eastern Seaboard with a promise of high winds and lots of rain. By Friday, anyone with a boat had it safely stashed away for storage or in a safe harbor. Homeowners secured anything liable to topple or be blown away. My 5-foot potted dahlia in full second bloom was moved to our porch for protection.

Past and Present Remembering Ernie Pyle
Pulitzer Prize-winner Ernie Pyle was one of many American war correspondents during World War II, but he was easily the most famous because of what he wrote and how he wrote it.
