Dear Editor, I'd like to give a shout-out to Melissa Gemmell for her article on the "Stand By Me" mural. It was timely, in my opinion, to have Padraic Slattery explain what his thoughts were.

Painting over the mural did NOT suddenly erase Dayton's history, like a pencil eraser. The history will always be here. This will... Full story

Among the highlights was a tasting with Will Camarda, who has taken over the reins at his family's Andrew Will winery. We sat outside at the Two Blondes vineyard, the source of many of the winery's most expensive bottles.

For as long as I can remember, peanut butter has been one of my favorite foods. As a kid, I loved the many sandwich options, such as the classics peanut butter and jelly, or peanut butter and banana. I love it in cookies or drizzled with honey in a yogurt bowl. Beyond sweets, peanut butter can be a wonderful and versatile ingredient in savory dishes. From West African peanut soups and stews to Thai satay sauce. Here a vibrant peanut sauce with lime and ginger is used as a glaze for baked tofu....
