BANGOR, Maine In these challenging times for so many people, buying food is not as simple as it once was, and many food pantries are seeing more hungry Mainers.
The Hammond Street Congregational Church in Bangor has run for 46 years the Ecumenical Food Cupboard. Back in the day, they used a come-in-and-shop food pantry for people to choose what they needed, but due to the ongoing pandemic, the cupboard is providing healthy hefty boxes of food to any Mainer in need. Now, boxes of food are passed through a window every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

ART shouts the sign. Big fat caps banged up above a 1920s Dunedin bungalow. We spy it from the car as we leave the St Clair hot saltwater pool. A sign as bossy as that demands investigation when you re on holiday. There s a lot of it about. Art, that is. You could be forgiven for thinking art is as prolific as mould in this country. We re imagining a metal gecko or two, some bright florals, the odd seascape and a brace of driftwood carvings. Still, the house looks nice and who isn t nosy about houses?

Yvonne Lorkin: Great wines for Easter breakfast, lunch or dinner

By: Yvonne Lorkin Ah, Easter. A time where Gen-Xers loudly lament the loss of the original creme egg and the entire adult nation loses its lid again over Cadbury s decision to introduce half -sized marshmallow eggs. Half-sized! Not even wrapped in foil!
Exclamation marks aside, Easter s when it s completely acceptable to eat hot cross buns for breakfast, lunch AND dinner, a time when we get our long weekend on and hit the bach, the boat or head for the hills; a time when finding something sippable to complement all that chocolate can sometimes feel a bit too-hard-basket.
