“’Tis the Season!” by Lorna Landvik, c. 2008, Ballantine Books, $22, 226 pages.
During the second week of December we continue with some dirt-cheap ideas for holiday decorating gone green.
Martin Soltero may have left his hometown of Cuautla, Jalisco, Mexico, nearly 20 years ago, but he’s still surrounded by a taste of home cooking from his native land – especially in the kitchen of Mr. Jalapeno, his newest restaurant, located in the heart of Midtown Bonney Lake.
We are very fortunate to have so many great places to find unique holiday gifts while supporting our local economy. Bonney Lake is full of hidden little gems, and I don’t mean the precious stones , although it might be a good place to start.
No two snowflakes are the same. And Linda Studebaker knows it.
Need dirt-cheap decorating ideas? Early December is the perfect time to prune and trim and harvest a wheelbarrow full of free garden greens for decorating inside and out.
We are pleased to present readers’ favorite holiday recipes throughout the holiday season. Readers are welcome to submit their favorite recipe, along with a brief accompanying memory, to jhalone@courierherald.com.
