We are sponsoring the movie A Chemical Reaction: The Story of a True Green Revolution on November 18th from 6:30-8:00pm at Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center in Burlington, Vermont.

It's holiday season, and in my house we're pouring over ancient family recipes and busily at work preparing a menu full of our traditional favorites and a new surprise or two for visiting guests.
