Since moving here three years ago, one of the seasonal things I've learned to look forward to is bakery/boutique Sweet Surrender's annual holiday open house. Three years ago, they had folks go back into the kitchen to grab samples of cake and cookies to munch while browsing the holiday...

Below is a story I wrote in today's paper about the nutritional value of fair food....
