Lemon Sugar Cookies

Sat 10 Oct. The Saturday of Presidents’ Day Weekend was gravely dampened by the passing remnants of a tropical system that came ashore along the Gulf of Mexico, but the Roediger House was brightened by the visit of a film crew of students from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. They are evaluating the usefulness and adaptability of this grand domicile and, if they decide this can work for them, they’ll come take over the place in early November. I wanted to have something to offer while they were here working, and that put me onto the trail of lemon sugar cookies. They seemed to like ‘em pretty well and even took extras along to share with roommates and significant others. That pleased the chef, no doubt!

Also, when I was in Stafford, VA, I caught sight of this license plate on the last day of September that I’m sure remains an unknown message for most folks who might see it up there. As for me, I read it immediately as “Fighting Pickle,” which is indeed the mascot of the UNC School of the Arts.
