  • Daryl Hall and William Shatner to Join Diy Network’S Celebrity Roster in 2014
    DARYL HALL AND WILLIAM SHATNER TO JOIN DIY NETWORK’S CELEBRITY ROSTER IN 2014 NEW YORK (For Immediate Release—April 1, 2014) From celebrities tackling home remodels to regular folks renovating their homes, DIY Network will premiere seven new series that focus on the realities of home improvement. The network’s latest addition to its “celebrity home rehab” franchise, The Shatner Project, premieres in October and will follow the home renovation of actor William Shatner, instantly recognizable to television fans as the original Star Trek captain, James T. Kirk, commander of the starship U.S.S. Enterprise; Sergeant T.J. Hooker of T.J. Hooker and Attorney Denny Crane of Boston Legal. In July, the highly anticipated series, Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall will premiere, starring singer/songwriter Daryl Hall from the musical duo Hall & Oates as he revives the historic charm of an 18th century Connecticut home. In addition, popular licensed contractor Jason Cameron will help homeowners smash their way to gorgeous new spaces by wrecking and remodeling their worst rooms in the new series, Sledgehammer. “DIY Network offers an authentic look at the realities of dealing with any home improvement project,” said Steven Lerner, senior vice president of programming development, HGTV and DIY Network. “When fans see Daryl Hall chasing his passion for historical rehab or William Shatner remodeling his outdated LA pad, they’re getting a glimpse of a real renovation – and they’re seeing that no matter who you are, the challenges that come with tackling a home remodel are universal.” Additional new DIY Network series will include First Time Flippers featuring overzealous property virgins who put their do-it-yourself real estate skills to the ultimate test and Stone Age which follows father and son duo, Steve and Nick Rhule, as they build amazing custom outdoor designs, including waterfalls, patios and fire pits, one rock at a time.

  • Cooking by Ms. Shubitz After Years of Living in Cities Where I Could Easily
    Cooking by Ms. Shubitz After years of living in cities where I could easily go out to dinner or order take-out, I moved to a Harrisburg suburb in 2009. No longer could I rely on Whole Foods (There wasn’t one for 75+ miles!) for prepared dinners. Unless I wanted to order-in pizza every night, I knew I’d have to start cooking. It’s not like I didn’t know how to cook. I just hadn’t had the time to cook much when I was a classroom teacher. Therefore, in order to get learn how to cook, I had to watch other people do it. Good thing we had the Food Network on cable. I spent hours watching the Food Network the first year we lived in Pennsylvania. If I found a recipe on a show that looked good, I tried it out. Sometimes the recipes tasted as delicious as the TV hosts claimed they were and other times they were a flop. In addition to finding good recipes on the Food Network, I also learned cooking techniques from the on-air talent. For instance, Ina Garten (aka: the Barefoot Contessa) taught me how to make a chiffonade of basil! I learned how to grill by watching Bobby Flay use the barbeque. I’m always on the lookout for a new dish that will taste great. I have subscribed to magazines like Cooking Light and websites like America’s Test Kitchen. I regularly peruse Pinterest and cooking blogs, like Smitten Kitchen, for new recipe ideas. I’m always trying out something new and hoping that it will become worthy of my recipe binders! Along the way, I’ve had cooking accidents.

In The Underground Railroad—a selection for Oprah’s Book Club 2016—author Colson Whitehead (Sep 26) chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. While interweaving the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day, The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a powerful meditation on the history we all share. Whitehead will discuss the book and its relevance to the current social and political climate with Lisa Lucas, executive director of the National Book Foundation.

When Carrie and wife Jannie moved from New York City in 2010 to work in Portland's ingenious food industry, Little Green Pickle originally began as a precursor to their dream restaurant.
