From campus history to the dinner table — exploring winter squash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I like wearing sweaters,” someone said. “I enjoy the beautiful colors of the leaves,” another person commented. “I like oven meals with baked potatoes, meatloaf and baked squash,” I added. Yes, I was quite specific. Several more people added their favorite thing about fall as an ice breaker before a meeting. I don’t think anyone said “pumpkin spice beverages.” Fall is a transitional time between summer and winter in the Midwest. Not everyone has our distinctive seasons. We can bundle up and enj
Pickling is an ancient art still going strong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My burger was served with a pile of crispy pickle rounds. I arranged them on my sandwich. These tangy cucumbers added both a crunch and a burst of flavor. With a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, onion slices and a fresh bun, my sandwich was a tasty meal. Maybe you like sweet relish on a hot dog or even a dill pickle on a stick at a fair.

Many people snap photos from their vehicles, and others seize the opportunity to hop out and use the golden fields as a scenic backdrop. The North Dakota Tourism Department provides an interactive map so you know where to look for these beautiful flowering fields. Search online for North Dakota Tourism and sunflowers, and you’ll find a map highlighting prime viewing areas. Most sunflowe
Consumers are reporting the lowest level of alcohol consumption in 90 years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“I can’t find a picture of a picnic or dinner party without an alcoholic beverage appearing,” I thought to myself. I always provide a photo from a free online collection in case editors want to use it with this column. I didn’t want to give the impression that I was promoting alcohol by featuring photos of family gatherings with bottles of wine and cocktails. Historically, alcohol has been woven into many cultures. In parts of Europe, for example, children were once given small amounts of wine a
