LETTER: Thanks for support

|
By Karen Smith 
| The Gazette-Virginian
To the editor: As this year’s MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Walk gets closer, I want to take a moment to say thank you to this marvelous community I call home. Churches, schools, businesses, companies, clubs, trusts, restaurants and individuals have donated to my fundraising efforts this year. In fact, I have raised over $10,000 with your help and support! That’s right!  Over $10,000! Of that, almost $800 was raised in the Gift Card Raffle.

Air Fryer Smashed Potatoes

By Nicole Russell, Suzanne Pike, Karen Smith

Awesome recipe! I doubled and because of it, had to do in two batches in my air fryer. I did one half exactly as written and half with a sprinkle of za-tar seasoning (in addition to the other spices). Me personally - I think the Za-tar gives these just a smidge more flavor pop but, as written - great side dish! Like a hybrid of potato chip, potato wedge and French fry! This went well with the steaks we had! My only concern/change - can you cook these in the microwave without piercing them first?

Tea has a long history—not simply because of the flavor and use of it, but because of the emotions and purpose that seem to accompany it. Starting with the ordinary, my background with tea began when I was a child. Colds found my mom brewing tea. She not only brewed tea and brought it with a caring smile, but sometimes she added orange juice and cinnamon. Tea meant care. Maybe that’s why I decided to write two cozy mystery series where tea plays an important role.
