Every Friday evening my housemate Kristen brings home a wooden crate overflowing with fresh-picked vegetables. This cornucopia is not from the grocery store.

My Hero Zero at Wing Fest: Top 40 Haven
Posted by Pat Baxter on 07/30 at 02:39 PM
It was near-perfect weather at Tussey Mountain for this week’s Wing Fest. A reasonable 78 degrees, not too much humidity, and a smattering of clouds highlighted the pre-sunset sky—a great scenario for enjoying both potentially delicious chicken wings and live music. After waiting in a long, but fast-flowing line I was led into the field/hill where the wing-off and live music was happening. Wegman’s, Major League, and Bonfatto’s dueled it out for the hearts and minds of wing lovers. On stage, the Insomniacs kicked things off for the musical portion of the entertainment. They were the precursor to My Hero Zero. I’ll touch on the Insomniacs later on, but will focus on My Hero Zero as they were the headliner for this event.

This light, creamy dressing is great not only on cabbage and coleslaw, but also on salads and fresh vegetables, like cucumbers.

Tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, sizes, and flavors. But you may not know this if you’ve never looked beyond the supermarket display.

Winemaking Opportunity to Support WPSU
Posted by Bianca Barr on 07/15 at 02:45 PM
Frank Trovato grew up watching his grandfather make wine in his basement. Though other family members took up the winemaking tradition, Frank went a different route.
“Frank’s more of a beer drinker,” said his wife, Maureen.
But a day spent at WPSU’s 2009 Wine Celebration put Frank on a course toward greater wine appreciation.

Mark DeRose Band at Arts Fest
Posted by Pat Baxter on 07/15 at 11:34 AM
Carol Baney, operations manager for Arts Fest, introduced the Mark DeRose Band on the Friedman Park stage on Saturday evening. She said they were one of her favorite bands playing at Arts Fest and embody what Arts Fest is all about. Though I thought she went a little overboard in her praise, I would agree they were one of the stronger acts at this year’s festival.
