Grace is Hot Meal on Cold Night

Winter gets a bad rap for a number of reasons. Cold, dark, possibly lonely as the Island empties out and more stores say goodbye until spring. But there is always one wonderful aspect of the off-season, as reliable as the spring peepers, the community suppers.

Yoga Teacher Training

Haggis Hotline

Save Saturday, Jan. 14, for some haggis; that would be a wee bit of sheep’s heart, liver and lungs to be exact, traditionally simmered in the animal’s stomach for approximately three hours. Alas, times and health codes change. Most haggis this side of the pond is now simmered in casings rather than a stomach.

The haggis is being prepared for the MV Center for Living’s cultural luncheon tomorrow honoring the Scottish influence and contributions to the Vineyard
