If you’d like to do something fun yet meaningful while also benefiting others in need for St. Patrick’s Day, “Musi-Kaleidoscope” is a new, five program series showcasing professional musicians from the South Valley.

Cruciferous is a designation that comprises the Brassica members of the cabbage family, including cavolo nero, mustard and turnip greens, along with cauliflower and collards, plus radishes, horseradish and arugula. The name derives from the flower common to these plants, the four petals of which spread to form a cross. Hence, “crucifer”-ous.
