February Speaker LIANNE HARRIS |

FAMOUS LOVERS Forget Romeo & Juliet or Caesar & Cleopatra--there are other couples who had a love that would light the ages! A love that was scandalous, tragic, forbidden, loyal . . . and oft-times entirely unexpected. Drawing on eye-witness accounts, contemporary writings and actual letters, presenter Lianne Harris takes a peek inside the intimate, daring, wrenching, even tempestuous private lives of some of history’s ‘other’ great couples.

NewsSharing Our Recipes Courtesy of Patricia Bolger The Big Guy's Left Over Turkey Pie If you have just hosted a big turkey dinner, then you will likely have lots of leftover vegetables to use. This recipe makes two 9” pies: one to eat tonight and one to freeze or refrigerate for an event later in the week. The recipe can be made as a Pot Pie in a casserole dish with only one top crust or you can make two two-crust pies or a number of individual pies if you have the pans. Serve with a fresh green salad, rice or cook up some chunked or mashed potatoes. "The Big Guy” recommends a medium-bodied red wine: maybe try a California Zinfandel or a Tempranillo wine from the Rioja area of Spain. |
