	Sunny Point al Fresco When I think of eating and the ambiance I want to surround me, I usually think of being outside. Give me a cool breeze, a bit of shade, a great table, and of course, interesting people.
	Taste of Spring Spring is in the air. Can you taste it? It really hit home when I started tilling a row or two of a small garden I share with a friend.
	Mélange of the Mountains Thank you Waynesville and Maggie Valley! How long has it been since you have dined in these towns? For me it has been way too long.
	Salute to Bread When asked to give a salute for a meal, this is the one I like most:
	Farm and theTable The hype today is all about Farm-to-Table eating. I wonder how many of us have really had a true Farm-to-Table experience!
	Wine and Food Festivals There are wine and food festivals and then there are WINE AND FOOD FESTIVALS!
	Risotto Challenge Do you like risotto? I have to admit that I rarely order Risotto - after all, another rice dish!
	Food Critic Everyone is a food critic! I think it must be a genetic thing left over from our cave dwelling days when around the campfire we discussed vegetables versus meat or steak tartar versus venison stew.
