Around the Table - The Rich Aroma of SimplicityWelcome! Come on in and have a seat at my table. I’ve been busy preparing for your visit, so I hope you came hungry. Each week, the stovetop will be simmering with talk of what’s new on the Florence food scene, tantalizing events in the Pee Dee and more! I’ll even be sharing some recipes for you to try at home.

Band breakups and the decline of American musicLast night, I was one of the lucky ones who witnessed the first Ben Folds Five show since the group disbanded, eight years ago.
