This Month’s Issue: The Food Issue
Like a parent with their children, we couldn’t pick a favorite issue if asked. But our annual Food Issue sure is fun to put together. We hope you enjoy it, too, and perhaps find a dish worthy of your holiday table. A special Thank You to those of you who submitted tales of woe from failed recipes— don’t miss Kitchen Flops on page 28. Also, learn more about historic energy legislation recently passed in North Carolina.
