Article Round-Up

Last night I had the pleasure of attending Generous Helpings, the big fundraiser event for Second Harvest Foodbank of North Central Ohio. On a cold and windy night (tent for the event...not so much), chefs from the area gathered in the North Central Foodbank food warehouse to show off their skills, and supporters of the foodbank gathered to eat the chef's tasty things, bid in a silent auction, and say hello to each other.  I had a lot of fun eating incredibly tasty and unusual food like chocolate turtles, bacon toffee chocolate, homemade tortilla chips, and radish leaf salad with the lovely people of OBB, VISTA, and Second Harvest.  There is nothing like good company and good food gathered in one place for a good cause!  Here is an article with pictures.
