The Wonder of Dahlias

FOR LEE HEMMINGS CARLTON, it was love at first sight with dahlias. Although the flower farmer had studied horticulture in college, it wasn't until she moved to the mountains of North Carolina in 2008 that she discovered country dahlias. "I saw them in a vase and thought, 'What are those?" she recalls. "I was hooked."

Oktober Feast!

While I respect your right to serve spooky food in October, you won't find any gory grub at my house this month. Instead, I'm hosting a gathering that's inspired by biergartens across the pond. The focus of the menu is a fondue made with Gruyère cheese and crisp Riesling-like beer-cheese dip but more elevated. It's served with a smorgasbord of dippers such as smoked sausage, grapes, apples, and a few amped-up store-bought snacks, like Mustard-Glazed Pretzel Bites and Smoked Paprika Potato Chips. (Just one taste, and you'll want to add this spice to every bag you open.) Pour yourself a Cider Shandy, and get ready for a good time. Prost, y'all!
