As always, the Whitehall Community Library will be closed for Labor Day but open regular hours during the rest of the week.

I suppose it’s the human thing on a hiking trail to acknowledge one another when passing. But on a well-used trail, the same comments come up time and time again. “Good Morning.” As an introvert I don’t understand why I have to say Good Morning to every member of a 30-person group. Nor does Good Afternoon roll off the tongue as nicely. Too many plosives and fricatives. Yesterday I got yelled at for not saying a cheery enough “Good Morning” to a passing hiker. I did not realize I was at a Downton Abbey garden party. Then there’s the consoling “Y...
Travel opens people up to new experiences. Among those experiences are myriad opportunities to try new foods and styles of cuisine. After all, what would a trip to Italy be without some indulgence in the various culinary specialties each part of the country is known for? But one need not stray from home to enjoy regional fare. For instance, foodies who enjoy foods typically associated with the southeastern United States can indulge that passion in the comforts of their own kitchens. This recipe...

Lobsters weren't always a delicacy. In fact, lobster was once known as "the poor man's chicken," and it was largely eaten by the lower classes and was even fed to pigs in colonial times. Lobsters can be green, yellow or even bright blue. They get their red hue after being cooked. Lobsters are a great source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and boast 28 grams of protein in one cup. If you skip the butter, lobster only has around 96 calories and about two grams of fat per t...
