Whew! I didn't think I was going to get this column in this week. And before you run a personal updated version of those USA Network golf ads in your head (An alternate Tuesday without a Parasiliti column. Poor newspaper. Lucky you.), please cut some slack. I could blame rain-induced, dog days of summer writer's block, but that would be too easy. Truth be known, I just got out of the concession line I was standing in at the July 3 Suns game at Municipal Stadium. The hot dog was OK, but could someone tell me what was the score of the game?

This recipe is a deviation from a one-pan breakfast to more a one-pita breakfast.  We will be making another breakfast recipe, something a little fun for everyone, which can be very creative if you make your own sausage for this recipe. Yes, you heard me right - make your own sausage. The sausage recipe is easy and uses chicken and apples to make nice sausage. Then you'll incorporate that into a breakfast pizza that will wake up a sleeping giant.  - Scott C.

The traditional 12 days of Christmas come to a close today.   The “Twelfth Night” is observed by many Christians as the feast of the Epiphany, which means the showing forth of Jesus to all the world.   It was on this day that the mysterious visitors from the east brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh, and the Orthodox Church often observes this as the day of gift-giving (rather than Dec. 25).   So now it is time to begin taking down the decorations and saying good-bye to the once-a-year favorites of sight and sound, and announce the winners for the town decorating contest.

In many folks' minds (mine included), summer squash means green zucchini. You've probably heard about someone with an overabundant garden who sneakily leaves a surfeit of squash on neighbors' porches and who totes zucchini to work to share with colleagues. It's been awhile since I've been blessed with such a garden or such a neighbor. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying all the tender-skinned summer squashes. Nowadays, green zucchini is just one of many varieties you can find.

Fog enveloped South Mountain on a recent Sunday morning, and in the mist we saw the beauty of the Appalachian spring. We quickly ran into Old South Mountain Inn, for it was chilly out, and we wanted our morning cup of coffee. We were not disappointed. We were swiftly seated at the far end of the gorgeous glass sunroom and immediately served a cup of strong coffee by our waiter, Bruce. We were the first to arrive for Sunday buffet brunch at 10:30. "Take your time. Help yourself when you are ready," Bruce told us. So we settled in, sipped our coffee and enjoyed the beauty of the spacious room filled with light.
