The 3 Sisters Enchiladas, adapted from the Chef Ann Foundation's school food service recipe, celebrate the traditional trio of squash, beans and corn, known as the "Three Sisters."

When Patrick Dollard, the retired President and C.E.O. of The Center for Discovery, was growing up in Rock Hill, he recalls it was a rite of passage for a young boy to be deemed old enough—and good enough—to play softball on the town team that each summer regularly challenged the men at Cooper’s Sunrise Bungalows.

I've been around long enough to see protests for just about everything. Save the whales. Save the trees. Save the spotted owl. Save vinyl records. At this point, I'm surprised nobody has organized a march to Save Leftover Meatloaf.
