BLUE JAYS ARE ALWAYS A WELCOME SIGHT AT THE FEEDERS

What beautiful birds, their plumage a vivid riot of shades of blue, etched with
bits of black and white! 


THE BEST, EASIEST DINNER PARTY OF YOUR LIFE

Spicy cucumbers with mint, scallions and crushed peanuts is David Tanis'
(admittedly inauthentic) take on a favorite found in variations all over
Southeast Asia. More like a fresh pickle or condiment than a salad, the dish is
moderately hot in Vietnam, while a Thai version could be extremely fiery.

At Mamie Brougitte Cakes, Marion Attal makes cakes in whatever flavors you might

OUR OPINION: KAMALA HARRIS FOR U.S. PRESIDENT

 * 

It is past time to move on from the divisive chaos that is Donald Trump. The way
to do so is to elect Vice President Kamala Harris who, unlike her opponent, puts
pragmatic policy and respect for the Constitution above demagoguery and
destructive anti-politics.


Our Opinion


OUR OPINION: RICHARD NEAL FOR U.S. HOUSE

 * 

It's clear that Berkshire County needs a strong voice and capable partner in the
highest halls of federal government to help solve our most pressing problems and
boost our our biggest dreams. By our lights, U.S. Rep. Richard Neal has modeled
that leadership and, we hope, will continue to do so.


Our Opinion


OUR OPINION: ELIZABETH WARREN FOR U.S. SENATE

 * 

Massachusetts should be proud that its senior senator models national leadership
on protecting consumers, holding corporate power accountable and prioritizing
issues over personality in defense of our commonwealth's progressive values.
That record is worth rewarding and renewing with a vote to reelect Sen.
Elizabeth Warren.
