At the Jennersville Giant the other day, the "paper products" aisle was absolutely chockful of paper towels. Not only were they on the shelves, but there were stacks of them piled up in the middle of the double-wide aisle. What a difference from the early days of the pandemic, when the shelves were bare!
Apparently another shopper had the same thought: he was taking a photo of the surplus with his cell phone.
As avid restaurant-goers, we have been doing all we can to support our local restaurants. Just days after the most recent dine-in ban was lifted, we enjoyed a terrific meal at one of our favorite Indian places, Rasa Indian Cuisine in the Painters Crossing shopping center.
We arrived on the early side. Although we were the only diners there for a while, the place was bustling with customers picking up their takeout orders. The waiter made frequent trips from the kitchen to the front desk lugging to-go bags.
The owners went out of their way to thank us for our business, but really the pleasure was all ours. I started enjoying Indian food only a few years ago and I now relish every flavorful bite. I even splurged (trying not to think about the carbs) and ordered their amazing garlic naan. Plus, their portions are so large that I had enough lamb biryani for the next few days!
Highly recommended.

"Ryan is arriving at an interesting time, when we are not yet meeting in our sanctuary for worship services," read a letter sent by the Music Director Search Committee to the church members. "We look forward to his direction in continuing the virtual music that can be incorporated into our worship services, until such time as it is safe to have choirs singing the sanctuary again."
Ryan earned his Bachelor of Music Degree in Vocal Performance, with a Minor in Music Education, at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and went on to earn a Master of Sacred Music in Choral Conducting from the University of Notre Dame.
Well, here is some happy news: The 28th running of the Willowdale Steeplechase is set for Saturday, May 8. However, the organizers caution that the number of spectators may need to be limited based on Pennsylvania's mandates in place at the time: "Please check back for the latest updates concerning ticketing on our website and social media," they advise.
Race director is Leslie Carpenter. Proceeds benefit the Stroud Water Research Center and New Bolton Center.
As far as the season-opening Cheshire Point-to-Point is concerned, the date is Sunday, March 28, but I haven't seen any updates about whether spectators will be permitted. Here's hoping!
