Life & Style THE BERTIE LEDGER-ADVANCE,THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16,2021 A9 Enjoy Candlelight Tour Eggnog... S ometimes holidays can be a littie over whelming. The decorating, get-togethers, gift buying, wrapping, cards and mailing, and the list goes on and on. The stress of getting everything done on top of onr already busy lives can sometimes make you a little more CHERYL ORR EDENTON EPICUREAN naughty than nice. If you find yom- self turning a littie Grinch green it maybe time to take a moment to ei\joythis wondrous season. To sit in quiet meditation or prayer in your church and really contemplate the true meaning of this season can be restorative. Another place for a little holiday detox is Eden- ton Yoga. Patti Mbrdecai and the other wonderful instructors offer a variety of classes fi'om beginner to advanced, for child to senior, men or women. Taking an hour to relax can. rejuvenate you for a few days when your time and temper is running short. After a little relaxation for your spirit an energy boost may be in order. A brisk workout or run can boost your energy and outlook. The sights, sounds, aromas and tastes of Christmas can also be in vigorating. A walk through our beautiful natural areas breathing in ft-esh air and pine, or a stroll through Edenton’s quaint Down town to savor the festive vignettes of the shops with a seasonal hot drink in hand from Edenton Coffee House is a little indulgence well worthwhile. If that’s not enough to raise your Christmas spirits, a stop in Edenton Bay TYad- ing Company for Debbie’s Sangria can surely warm your heart. A favorite seasonal beverage is eggnog, and recently several guests visiting for the Candlelight Tour have requested the famous recipe served at the Penelope Barker House. Gallons of tins frothy beverage were made locally for the Candlelight Tour to celebrate the holidays. Susan Creighton was kind enough to share the famous Eggnog recipe a few years ago. I hope you try this classic holiday bev erage. It’s much easier to make than you might think and it’s so much better than the stuff pre-made at the grocery store. Ei\joy! If you have a cooking question contact me at cher.orr@gmail.com and I’d be happy to assist! Cheryl Orr is the chef and owner of The Cotton Gin Inn in Edenton.

Domtar aids Sustainable Forestry project RICH SQUARE - 'The Sustainable For estry and Land Retention Project (SFLRP) announced recently that it has received a $3,000 donation from the Domtar paper company to help the program assist woodland own ers in northeastern North Carolina. Sponsored in part by Roanoke Electric Cooperative, the SFLRP helps families in seven counties served by the cooperative increase the income and asset value of fami ly-owned forestland. It also encour ages forest health, land retention and the opportunity for participat ing families to create intergenera- tional wealth. Since its creation in 2013, more than 250 famihes have enrolled in the program. Participants have ac cessed approximately $560,000 in financial assistance for forestry and legal services; nearly 150 woodland owners have established forest management plans, and sustainable forestry practices have been imple mented on about 3,000 acres of land. “Domtar is extremely pleased to support the mission of the Sustain able Forestry and Land Retention Project with this donation,” said Charles Daniels, procurement for ester at Domtar’s Plymouth, N.C., pulp and paper manufacturing fa cility. “We take pride in producing useful products that people rely on every day, and healthy, sustainable forests are integral to our business. The Sustainable Forestry and Land Retention Project is helping wood land owners maintain healthier for ests and wildlife habitats, but most importantly it is having a positive, durable impact on the lives of the famihes it assists.” . SFLRP Director Alton Perry said the project greatly appreciates Domtar’s support. “'The majority of communities where we provide services are small, rural and economically dis tressed,” Perry said. “Landowners need someone to meet them where they are, increase their knowledge of services and programs available, and help them convert property they often view as a burden into the significant assets they can become. Domtar’s donation helps fill that void.” Graduate Shop at Home Use the Bertie Ledger-Advance Classifieds Mathew and Daphne Bond of Windsor announce the graduation of Mattelyn H.
