Torch Lake Township Visitors Guide available at local businesses
As its first project, the business group that got together last winter has produced a brochure packed with information about local attractions, shopping, services, restaurants and lodging.

The Trouble with Herbs
June 21, 2008
In my experience, herbs are fraught with difficulties. (Like that “fraught”? Me too.) The first problem, of course, is whether to say herbs (with the “h”) or ‘erbs (without the “h”). No trying to weasle out by mumbling, either. I’ve adopted the h-less standard, and I’m stickin’ to it.

Letters from Katy Newman: Quack grass lore
June 20, 2008
It’s been a tough growing season for farmers hereabouts. Katy Newman and I have been discussing options, in the event that my first CSA share consists largely of quack grass. She went online in search of recipes for quack grass soup, but found this instead. Here’s her email: a poem in itself….. Quack grass Aliases: […]
