  • FOOD: Iron-willed chefs: My day at the cooking contest
    I was the one who came up with the idea for the French toast dessert. The chef leading our team looked at me, nodded and said, “great idea!”
    I hope you can imagine how exhilarating that felt.

  • MUSIC: Performer’s tunes win applause from Niagara seniors
    Bruce Engelhart really just wants to sing to people. He says it makes him feel blessed to do so.
    But, according to those who have watched him work a room of senior citizens, strumming on his guitar and singing tunes like “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” or “God Bless America,” he has quite an impact on his audiences as well.

  • LIFESTYLE: Bills museum exhibit scores
    If you remember the O.J. Juicer, “Machine Gun Kelly” Bills poster, Thurman Thomas sports drink or Flutie Flakes, then you need to get to the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society sooner rather than later.

  • BOOK REVIEW: A new look at the old ball game
    Released in time for the World Series and for Christmas, “Baseball Americana: Treasures from the Library of Congress” offers several hundred pictures — photos, engravings, drawings, panoramic views of long-gone ballparks and an assortment of ephemera — the majority of which have never been published elsewhere.

  • DOUBLE TROUBLE: Life with kids, five years later
    I don’t know precisely why, but 5 years sounds so much older than 4. Maybe it’s that I can no longer call him a toddler, or a preschooler, or any one of those terms that sounds so much less intimidating that simply “boy.”

  • LIFESTYLE: A peek at the Tonawandas' hidden history
    Every local native knows North Tonawanda’s lumber-rich past and that CNN’s Wolf Blitzer attended Kenmore West High School.
    But how many Tonawandans know that one of college football’s pioneers hailed from the region, or that a saint once walked through Kenmore?

  • ARTS: Native expressions
    It’s not like he had never done such a thing before. In fact, as a professor of English, he often had asked his writing students to do just that. Look at a picture and find the words to tell me what you see.
    But this was different.

  • LIFESTYLE: Nt native burns up Atlanta
    Like the bass player in a rock band or stuntman, a TV news producer has to have a certain mindset in order to pursue a career in the background.

  • BOOK REVIEW: ‘Lost Symbol’ flawed, but fun
    Who knew symbologists led such interesting lives?

  • CRIB NOTES: From the mouths of babes
    About a decade ago, Bill Cosby hosted a show called “Kids Say the Darndest Things.” On it, he would ask young children questions, to which they would offer cute and/or silly responses.
    I was in college when the show aired, and thus I never got the attraction to children ... well, talking.
    After spending some time with Penny and Rigby the past couple weeks, I am no longer skeptical about the power of a child’s word.

  • WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: Britons enjoy Niagara apples
    Little do many British apple-lovers know that they have a Niagara County company’s labor to thank for their fruit.

  • CHEF'S CHOICE: Trio of chefs create Smoke on the Water
    One chef is considered a trendsetter by many local sushi lovers, the other two are winning acclaim at many local cooking competitions.
    Together, the trio will be preparing a unique gourmet feast featuring fresh seafood flown in from New England and Hawaii just in time for dinner Wednesday at the Aquarium of Niagara.

  • JUNK MAIL: Why pay more? Why not?!
    For as long as there have been consumers, there have been manufacturers making products that overcharge for devices that perform functions we can do more cheaply via other means.

  • BOOK REVIEW: WNY’s ghostly origins explored in Winfield work
    Imagine Western New York in the early 1800s. Settling within a mile or so of the Niagara River, people formed tiny hamlets that would in time become Buffalo, Niagara Falls and every other town from Lake Ontario south to Lake Erie.
    Within one week in 1813, British forces decimated just about everything in that stretch.

  • DOUBLE TROUBLE: Sometimes we all need cupcakes for dinner
    I always wanted to be the "cool" mom. It’s a good dream ... but not one that often stands up to the reality of parenthood.

  • WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: Report: Buffalo lacks brains
    Compared to the nation’s other large cities, the Buffalo-Niagara Falls region falls short in the smarts department, according to a recent analysis by a national publication.

    The John S. Koplas Memorial Lecture Series inaugural event will be held at the Palace Theatre this Friday, and it features a live appearance by Lockport’s homegrown literary superstar, Joyce Carol Oates.

  • EVENTS: Scaring ourselves silly
    Halloween isn’t like the other holidays.
    It’s not about goodness and light. It’s not about beauty and hope. It’s about scaring the daylights out of ourselves. In a good way.

  • FOOD: Chefs seeking Halloween treats ideas just need a bit of Internet inspiration
    When it comes to making scary foods to delight children at Halloween, a grocery store’s bulk food section is a great place to turn the sweetest dish into a creepy creation.

    Jason Salfi, wearing blue jeans, a work shirt and sporting a cast on his right arm, waved the injured limb at his small audience of area business people.
