Thanksgiving is around the corner, and cranberries are popping up everywhere: in sauces both jellied and stewed, mixed into roasted vegetables and salads, and baked into desserts. With all the seasonal attention lavished on the little red berries, the more philosophical diner might wonder how they are grown and harvested. It so happens that the family of Fred Bottomley, owner of Fairland Farm, has been pondering and producing cranberries ever since the first Thanksgiving.
NEW YORK (AP) — When the latest exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute opens this week, celebrating the style of French fashion figure Jacqueline de Ribes, an important guest will be missing: The 86-year-old de Ribes herself.
In the wake of the horrific Paris terror attacks, "she felt it would be unseemly to celebrate," said the exhibit's curator, Harold Koda. Despite canceling her trip, however, de Ribes noted in a statement that she hopes the show "will represent the joy associated with the freedom of creation."
