Recipe of the Week: Sausage & Ravioli Lasagna This past week I attended the Tennessee
State Master Gardener Conference in Kingsport and afterwards took a few days
to drive through the mountains of Virginia and Kentucky. And although this
wasn’t planned, we also took a little day trip to Roan Mountain, N.C., and
was surprised to find that the rhododendrons were just beginning to bloom.
I’ll share some pictures next week. So, after a grueling week of gazing at
mountains tops, I am reluctantly getting back into the swing of things. I’m so glad to hear that this year’s Relay
for Life once more dodged the rain bullet (although we certainly needed the
rain) and was well attended. I know everyone there had a great time and lots
of money was raised. If hope you didn’t miss it like I did. I heard the
comment yesterday that more attention should be given to educating the
general public about what goes on at the event. Relay is not just for team
members and organizers; it’s a community celebration. With all sorts of food
available and entertainment and special recognitions and so much fellowship
among neighbors, there’s something for everyone and everyone is welcome. I
hope over the next few weeks someone will send me pictures to share with you.
I want to tell you about a couple of
upcoming events. One is the Exchange Club 4th of July BBQ Butt
Sale. Order a fully-cooked 8 lb. butt for $25. Learn more here. The other is a seminar presented by the
hospital on Summertime First Aid. The speaker will be Carol Malone RN, and a
light meal will be served at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, June 28. Reservations are
needed, so call 772-8475 to reserve your spot. She will discuss everything
from bug bites to near drowning, so hurry and call to be sure you get a seat. I need more recipes. How about ice cream?
Anyone have a good ice cream recipe? E-mail me. ~ Sonia |
