Four Steps to an Organized Clean
Winter’s the
perfect time to make a clean-break with kitchen grime.
Even the tidiest of kitchens needs a
“good going over,” as my mother used to say. Winter is a great time
to tackle this traditional spring-cleaning chore.

February - Wine, Feasts and Love
February features
Valentine’s Day, our gentle ritual, at midpoint. For now, even dreams
seem delicious. Tradition strongly suggests red roses, chocolates,
candlelit dining and a card with a personal proclamation of love. Wine
fits here like a hand in glove. Not just any wine,
mind you. Nothing falls flatter that the wrong wine.

A Wine Tasting For The Ages
Dr. King and Fine Wine: A Historic Meeting
Listen to this interesting
audio tape
by Doc Lawrence, a veteran food and wine journalist based in Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale, of this famous wine tasting:
A Wine Tasting For The Ages - Dr. Martin & Wine: A Historic Meeting
 On a rainy night in Atlanta, four men met somewhat accidentally in a wine store with a rear lounge. One was the great Civil Rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Another was the segregationist governor of Georgia. They were joined by the Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper editor, Ralph McGill, and the store owner, Jim Sanders, the foremost wine importer in the South at that time. Sanders, a gifted writer, recorded the events of that evening, typing everything on his ancient Underwood typewriter.
Mardi Gras -
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
 Mardi Gras is French for "Fat
Tuesday." It is the day before Ash Wednesday, a day of
celebration and partying before the rigors of Lent's forty days
of fasting and sacrifice.
While the calendar shows Mardi Gras as
a Tuesday, the festivities begin much earlier, on January 6th
(Kings Day), and most of the celebration is in the form of Balls
and Parades for two weeks or more before Mardi Gras Day.
