Only one month until our eighth Visual Realia Photowalk, this time in Lancaster County's (PA) Columbia, a great river town. As always, our events are free and perfect for families or traveling the route with friends. Take the 2.2 mile walk with us, bring your camera and check out the shared photographs afterward.

For more information, check out our photowalk page and remember to join the email list mentioned there to receive automatic updates.

See you soon!

A love for Manhattan chowders and a vegetarian in the family create an interesting food problem, but one that was solved fairly easily with a bit of exploration and experimentation. Looking at recipes online, I was able to come up with a starting point for a vegetarian Manhattan soup. A little bit of tweaking over time resulted in the recipe found below.

Onions, celery, bell peppers, carrots and spring onions provide for great color, taste and hopefully a healthy start, and are sautéed in just a bit of olive oil until translucent.
