The key to making the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert.
Pie is the ultimate Thanksgiving dessert. In our family, we usually have two different kinds: pumpkin and apple. We usually also have pecan and mincemeat as well, but as bite-sized tarts instead of whole pies, since not everyone is fond of mincemeat and a big ol' slab of pecan pie can be cloying. I know, it's crazy to offer so many desserts but Thanksgiving dinner is all about the pies! If you like making your own pie but just can't make good pie crust, you can always use the frozen pie crusts already in the pan or the rolled up premade pie crusts, such as Pillsbury. If you use the frozen pie crusts already in their own pan, I strongly advise removing the frozen crusts from their wimpy aluminum pie tins and putting the crusts in your …

Yo ho, yo ho—it’s a pirate’s day for you!
You can walk the plank—but can you talk the talk? International Talk Like a Pirate Day, falling annually on Sept. 19, is one of the most spirited Internet-based holidays out there, where you can really let the Capt. Morgan, parrot and peg leg jokes fly. One might wonder what the thought process was behind the holiday—and the truth is, the people who created it are just as fun and wacky as the holiday itself. Creators John Baur and Mark Summers were playing racquetball one day in 1995, and their groans and cheers during the game quickly turned into pirate slang. After many jokes, the idea for International Talk Like a Pirate Day was born. They pitched their idea to Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Dave Barry, who eventually featured it in …

Thursday, September 6, 2012
By David Gutman, Capital News Service For one night at least, one of the busiest men at the Democratic National Convention set politics aside. Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, flanked by his seven-piece band O'Malley's March, played a rollicking concert of electric Irish folk music late Wednesday night at BlackFinn Saloon in Charlotte. See a video of O'Malley singing in Annapolis this summer. O'Malley's March, a Celtic rock band, played a 13-song set, lasting well over an hour, that had a normally buttoned-down group of delegates, politicos, staffers and hangers-on dancing, cheering, and generally cutting loose. At one point O'Malley, eschewing the week's uniform of dark suits for an un-tucked black button-down, had to turn down a shot of …

Shirley Brewer, a Charles Village poet, is keeping busy and hopes to expand her business based on verse.
Former Pasadena resident and Anne Arundel County educator Shirley Brewer works almost like a journalist when she’s crafting a poem for a client of her business Poetic License. Brewer, a Charles Village resident, will interview a client for about an hour, talking about the subject of the poem. Brewer looks for the details of a person’s story that helps her connect with the subject, which will in turn help her piece resonate with the subject and their loved ones. "I have a lot of empathy for people, and so I think that helps me create these poems. Most of these people I don’t know, but I pretend that I know them because 'this sounds like my aunt so and so,'" Brewer said. Click here to see samples of her poetry. Now Brewer is trying to get …
