The aroma of boiling molasses, the dust of corn shucking and the twanging sounds of banjos will fill Dudley Farm Historic State Park’s biggest event of the year Saturday.
Dancing bears! Snow-covered mountain tops! A children’s choir singing “Let It Go” in perfect harmony! None of those things were featured in this year’s American Music Awards, but the actual performances and big-name acts were just as eye catching. (And hey, there was the occasional politically twinged joke from the show’s host, Mr. Worldwide. I mean, Mr. Dale. I mean, Pitbull.)

Thanksgiving is a celebration usually composed of food (turkey, of course), family (and friends — inclusivity is one of Thanksgiving’s beauties) and football (yes, we’re in the South). Gathering around the TV, Thanksgiving revelers let the food digest before the slicing of pie(s).
Before you go home for Thanksgiving to see your (hopefully not bickering) family, the best way to pre-celebrate is by having Friendsgiving with your (again, hopefully not bickering) friend family in your dorm.

In a time when many of us are turning to online recipes for instruction, how is it that heavy, richly illustrated cookbooks (unwieldy for practical use in the kitchen) are being released in a steady stream? Are cookbooks becoming more of an art piece than an instructional book? Are they resting on the coffee table more than on the kitchen counter?
Whoever holds the conch, speaks.

When I saw The Savants of Soul live back in June, it was clear to me that they were determined to bring the feel of 1950s and ‘60s soul music to 2014 and beyond. Whether the band has three members, 12 members, or its current 10, it’s likely only a matter of time before its blaring horns, raspy vocals and catchy instrumentals reach your ears and make you get up and groove.
