Uncorked: Ironing out why white works with seafood
Last week I stuck my neck out on the proverbial limb by recommending only white wines for Lobsterfest 2009, sponsored by Grace Episcopal Church in Anniston on Saturday. It turns out there may be scientific reasons for consuming white wine with all things from the sea.

Photo special to The Star Pay tribute to the great pumpkin with these tasty recipes
Peter, Peter knew a thing or two about good eats. Pumpkins are too often relegated to jack-o’-lanterns, magical carriages and pumpkin pies. But pumpkins can be peeled, seeded and diced, then used just as you would any other winter squash, such as butternut or acorn.

One of our area's most highly anticipated fall charitable events is Lobsterfest, Nov. 7 at Grace Episcopal Church in Anniston, benefiting Habitat for Humanity. The thought of dropping live lobsters into boiling water may be a bit off-putting. The late Julia Child recognized lobster executions are problematic for some cooks. In her book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking , she suggests that a lobster can be killed almost instantly by plunging the point of a sharp knife into the head between the eyes.

There's more than one harbinger of fall that comes from a tree. Every fall, the southland gets peppered with pecans, all the way from Georgia's acres of orchards to the backyard trees planted by generations past, which yield pies and spicy roasted nut snacks.

According to a brochure I received a couple of weeks ago, October is Pizza Month. The Italians might have given birth to the pizza, but Americans have certainly adopted it as one of our favorite treats.
