FALLBROOK – Jeremiah’s Ranch College of Adaptive Education completed its spring semester with a unique art class in wire sculpture. For eight weeks, each of the 11 participating students worked on a sculpture, representing an aspect of their personality. For instructor Suzette Phillips, the class was both rewarding and, at times, frustrating. “The wire was sometimes difficult to work with,” said Phillips. “A student would get caught up in it, and I would have to cut them out...

Nathaniel Sillin Special to the Village News How many times have you gone to pour milk in your coffee, only to see that the date on the carton was yesterday? Some people will instinctively throw it away, but chances are that's not what the label is intended to convey. It's likely a marker for when the food might taste its best, not if it's safe to eat. By some estimates, as many as 91 percent of consumers may misinterpret food date labels. It's no surprise as there are dozens of different labels in use, but the... Full story

In creating this recipe, my thoughts were to have less calories in the dish, but still keep the oh-so-good flavor. The great thing about this meal is, by adding a salad, garlic bread and a nice bottle of wine, you're living it up Tuscan style! Kids love this meal too; just no wine for them. I also like to include vegetables whenever possible to expand the meal and for more nutrients. No need to add flour and fry up chicken for this version. Instead, buy fresh chicken breasts and have the butcher cut them lengthwise if you... Full story
