3rd Place: Korin Zigler’s Garden Salad with Homemade Dressing over Rice
"This recipe is inspired by many yummy dinners we had when I was a little kid in the good ol’ hippie days. I first remember eating this dish at a potluck at a commune in the woods in Skamania, Washington. The dish resonates with what we know about nutrition today. My kids grew up on it and love it. The ingredients are flexible, based on what is growing in your garden at the moment."
Korin won a $30 Gift Certificate to  CN Smith Farm , 325 South St East Bridgewater, MA

This comedy, set in England in the 1960’s, has all the clever writing of a British farce. While remaining believable, Ayckbourn has removed the less plausible elements of a typical farce such as men in female disguises, or slamming doors, but left one main ingredient – mistaken identities and motives while reflecting on the ups and downs of married life.
