Have I mentioned I love soup?  I long for an Asheville restaurant 100% devoted to the production of soup.  Imagine:  Every day for lunch, six or so homemade soup options, homeade breads, and salads.   A chowder, a seafood option, two vegetarian choices, a vegan soup, a beef soup, and a chicken soup.  Le sigh.  My dream come [...]

Ash is right, I was on the news.  You know, I’ve done a lot of great things is this town.  I’ve directed numerous theatrical productions, I’ve organized AIDS awareness events, the list continues.  But what makes the news?  Me, fiercely screaming my order at some underpaid, overwhelmed Dunkin Donuts employees who have probably been up [...]

Sadly but surely, the climbing numbers on my scale are requiring I focus a little less on eating food and more on sharing it with others.  One way to center on abundance rather than lack in times of necessity is to spend money on food for the community.  In the spirit of giving, I would like to suggest [...]
