November is upon us!
It arrives as a gentle pause between the rush of autumn and the anticipation of the holidays — a month that invites us to slow down, gather close, and savor life’s simple comforts.
Whether it’s through a shared meal, a neighborhood gathering, or a quiet moment of reflection, November encourages us to embrace what matters most — good food, good company, and the feeling of home.
Now, in today’s edition:
This week’s food & drink spotlight
Several community, family, fun events
And some special events coming soon - mark your calendars!
