Lettuce Explain: The Best Salads in Collin County

The variety of dishes consisting of mixed greens splattered with dressing is nearly endless. And restaurant kitchens fabricate this basic recipe with an endless potpourri of leafy fusions, farragoes and plot twists that defy sober analysis. But what is a salad? Culinary chroniclers tell us that “salad” is a term derived from the Latin word sal (salt), which eventually yielded salata, or “salted things.” This means raw leafy vegetables garbed in a lubricating negligee of...

CHRISTMAS WITH C.S. LEWIS Starring David Payne Coming To The Eisemann Center
The Eisemann Center, in partnership with producer Emery Entertainment, will present Christmas with C.S. Lewis Starring David Payne. In the early years of his young adult life C.S. Lewis believed the story of Christ's birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Although both men loved mythology in general, Tolkien was convinced that the Jesus myth was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis' journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas, for Lewis, took on an entirely different meaning. Here we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are Christmassing in England. They are about to experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulates a whole range of emotions – curiosity, laughter, gladness and even some tears. Above all, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations.
