College prep workshop presented to students
When the local high school students started coming to Elizabeth Munoz-Rosas with questions about the college application process, the children’s services librarian at Gilroy Library recognized a need in the Gilroy community.
It’s about time for a little Champagne
"Come quickly, I'm drinking stars!" exclaimed Dom Perignon when he first discovered the bubbles in his wine some 300 years ago. And ever since, Champagne (or sparkling wine as it is called outside of the Champagne region of France) has been a staple of New Year's Eve parties and celebrations everywhere.
Celebrate with pumpkin cupcakes
Before I present my Halloween themed column, I am thrilled to share information about an exciting, unique and delicious event and dining experience. The inaugural “Farm to Table Harvest Celebration” is Saturday, Nov. 2, and encompasses the philosophy of “eating local.” I was fortunate to preview the menu, which showcases South Valley produce, beef breed and feed in Santa Clara County and local wines. The talents of seven chefs are featured with wine pairings for each course. If you have a passion for food, do not miss this event. It is anticipated to become a premiere food experience in the entire bay area. Details: Santa Clara County Farm Bureau at (408) 776-1684.
