Greetings!

We're cooking it up holiday-style with Chef David Gilbert who shares his Truffle-Cream Corn recipe and discusses his book 'Kitchen Vagabond', and we have delicious Medjool Date appetizer ideas from Debbie Mansheim. On the wild side, today is the Everglades National Park's birthday, and Born Free USA has some great news on their two-year rescue of 107 macaques and one baboon. And, if you love a good horror story - check out Tony Hubbard's new novel 'A Demon Lies Within.'

Have a Great Day!
