Martin Luther King, Jr. is the first modern private citizen to be honored with a federal holiday. It was a long struggle to set aside the third Monday in January as a day to honor and celebrate a man who advocated for not only racial equality but also economic equality and for all people to be treated with respect and dignity. While the legislation to set aside the day was signed by Ronald Reagan in 1983, its first official celebration was on January 18, 1986, and it took until 2000 for all 50 states to recognize it as a state government holiday. ...read more

According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, areas in the Eastern United States reach their seasonal minimum temperatures in mid-January. It makes sense, then, to have International Hot and Spicy Food Day on January 16 for a little winter warm-up. ...read more

Even before we bought the Mast General Store, we were taken by the beauty of Valle Crucis. We’ve heard people describe the drive out Broadstone Road as traveling through a time portal. In the 1970s, fields in the river bottoms would be filled with tobacco, cabbage, or high with hay to feed cattle that were grazing in the summer pasture. ...read more

The lucky few who have seen the Earth from a different perspective – astronauts - all echo the same viewpoint upon their return. Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut and the first human to go to space, commented, “Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it.”

Fall is the season best known for its bounty. After all, it hosts the holiday we most associate with food. Before Thanksgiving, though, there are plenty more fall feasts! Autumn is harvest season with offerings of crisp apples and hearty veggies, tailgating season where portable grills turn out parking lot delicacies, and – don’t forget – fair season packed with deep-fried deliciousness and caramel-covered, sugar-dusted delights. ...read more

Who can forget one of Yogi Bear’s favorite catchphrases, “A pic-a-nic basket has everything a bear needs?” Jellystone Park was definitely a perfect place to enjoy a meal alfresco, but did you know that picnics were affairs originally held indoors? And that there is science behind many of the foods commonly found nestled in a picnic hamper? Yep, there’s a reason we crave watermelon this time of year. ...read more

If you haven’t checked your calendar lately, the holidays are HERE! Gatherings of all kinds abound – from friends and family to co-workers and colleagues. It’s a time for pulling out all the stops, making everyone’s favorite dishes, and trying a few new recipes. That can hold true for holiday beverages, too. We visited with Josh, who helped us put together a “summer school mixology class” earlier this year to give us a few ideas to “up your hospitality” during the holidays. ...read more

Ah, the holidays. Perhaps a better reference would be Food-a-Paloosa! Think about it. Beginning at Thanksgiving and running through New Year’s Day (or Old Christmas on January 6 if you’re so inclined), can you name one gathering that does not have a food component? Office lunches, holiday open houses, neighborhood gatherings, Secret Santa get-togethers, Christmas parties... The list can be staggering. And that’s OK. Nothing brings a group together better than a good meal. So, let us prepare to lay a beautiful table and fill it with tasty fare from the best cooks around. ...read more
