Not the all-too-common flaccid macaroni elbows in a watery mayonnaise, but toothy pasta tossed with colorful vegetables and dressed with layers of flavors, combining sharp and soft with tender and bold. This is an easy meal to pull together after a hot day at the beach or long day at the office. Best of all, you won’t need to stop at the grocery, just take ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/pasta-salad-is-a-great-summertime-dish/1013673 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Denise Clemons) A&E http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/go-bananas-with-these-recipes/1011111?source=rss ]]> We’ve been overrun with bananas. Without thoroughly considering the consequences, we bought a bunch of ripe bananas to eat in the following few days and another bunch of green ones for later in the week. As you may imagine, we watched the green skins turn speckled brown before the first bunch was gone. After peeling and freezing several of the bananas for future smoothies, I started searching for recipes that ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/go-bananas-with-these-recipes/1011111 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Denise Clemons) A&E http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/strawberry-season-is-in-full-berry/1008012?source=rss ]]> Strawberry season is in full flower, or perhaps we should say full berry. We no longer have to settle for packaged fruit shipped in from California or Florida. The first fruit to ripen each spring is abundantly available from Delaware growers starting in the middle of May through the end of June. These were worth the wait. Since they need to be picked by hand and don’t continue to ripen once they’re off the vine, ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/strawberry-season-is-in-full-berry/1008012 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Denise Clemons) A&E http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/season-s-start-is-time-to-break-out-the-grill/1005087?source=rss ]]> The countdown to summer’s official start has begun, and we’re looking forward to Memorial Day celebrations to launch the new season. Since the formal reason for the holiday is honoring the men and women who have died in service to our country, many will place flags on veterans’ graves or listen to the annual evening concert held on the lawn of the Capitol in Washington, D.C. (broadcast on PBS if you can’t ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/season-s-start-is-time-to-break-out-the-grill/1005087 Mon, 27 May 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Denise Clemons) A&E http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/it-s-a-great-time-to-play-guess-who-s-coming-to-dinner/1002238?source=rss ]]> Earlier this month, the Historic Lewes Farmers Market organized a clever fundraiser: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. The event was arranged like a progressive dinner but with a twist - no one knew where each course would be served. At the start of the evening, we arrived at the Inn at Canal Square for an aperitif and directions to our various destinations. Before introducing the numerous hosts and hostesses, we ... http://capegazette.villagesoup.com/p/it-s-a-great-time-to-play-guess-who-s-coming-to-dinner/1002238 Mon, 20 May 2013 17:00:00 EDT newsroom@capegazette.com (Denise Clemons) A&E
