Chilmark has seen the last of January. Actually she treated us better than many other places in New England. As I write midweek, the ground is clear and very little snow remains. The rains were hard for awhile this week and more welcome than snow. What’s next is anybody’s guess.
Violet Cabot reviews a program of short films for a family film screening on Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Chilmark Community Center.
Strega Nona is a story about Big Anthony not doing what he was told. The story of Strega Nona takes place in Italy. Strega Nona means grandma witch. In this story, Strega Nona goes away and her assistant, Big Anthony, makes pasta in the magic pot when he was told not to. You won’t believe what happens next. I would recommend this film to everyone.
The final Family, Film, Feast event of the season takes place Saturday, Feb. 5 at 5 p.m. at the Chilmark Community Center.
Those who attended the last go-around earlier this month are still rubbing our stomachs filled joyfully with Indian food care of Kitchen Porch and Slow Food. Those who were otherwise occupied would be well served to check out what they’ve been missing.
