Marie Sandomenico shared some healthy and tasty recipes with our readers this year. Beautiful photography coupled with simple and healthy ingredients make it easy to eat well.  When I saw the photo for her Ricotta Cheese Cookies, I knew I had to try them. The result, a new addition to the Christmas cookie line up.

Baby birds, turtles and butterflies are popular subjects for blogger Jan Porinchak’s and I have to say, I always learn something new after I read them. One of my favorites was about turtles.

Hmmm, now I wonder who or what organization could be doing this illegal act? I'm not going to make an educated guess who could be involverd in this deed but I think if Kings Parkers do some research they are smart enough to figure out who does not want the real facts of the "Uplands Project" to come to light. Displaying these signs is a way of making the public aware of the atrocity of this project. Questions will then be asked. Making a night run to remove them is, at the least, a cowardly act that should be publicized every time it occurs!
