Carrots in pastry make veggie Wellington By Sarah Lemon Updated: Apr 12, 2021 09:14 AM A A I love a classic recipe reinterpreted for modern times and diverse diets. Take beef Wellington, for example. I love the concept. I love the presentation. I love puff pastry. I just don’t eat beef. So when a cook encases something else — almost anything else — in puff pastry and calls it “Wellington,” I’m game. And when the filling isn’t a meat but a vegetable, the audience stands to expand exponentially. T

Making vocational education a priority By The Astorian Sep 21, 2019 12:00 AM A A Setting educational policy should follow the old adage, “It takes all sorts of people to make a world.” Too often, it does not. The leadership philosophy of administrators and governing boards essentially determines how much priority our public schools give to vocational education. Some want to push as many students as possible toward higher-level academics-focused education, ideally at four-year institutions. More
