Saturday, I’ll have the arduous task of judging dishes prepared by some of the top chefs in our area – tough job, right! Okay, so my part is pure fun, but the chefs competing will no doubt be stressing behind the scenes. They’re each given a ‘basket of food items’ with instructions to prepare a 3 course menu. This all happens at the Culinary Institute of America over at Pearl. The winners will be announced that evening at a fabulous dinner at the delightful Zinc Bistro and Bar.
Here’s the official news release for more info….

I had to recently wipe out my Windows Vista and re-install it with XP because it became too virus infested and completely failed. Now I am looking into how I can prevent these issues. I love to download fonts, but I don’t exactly want to pay $20 for them. I used to use DaFont.com and I loved it, but now I’ve been looking at reviews and such to make sure. There’s only good reviews, but I can’t be sure those are legit. I know Yahoo! Answers isn’t exactly the Library of Congress when it comes to this stuff but I would really appreciate a second opinion. **So what I’m asking is whether or not DaFont.com is virus free? Also, is 1001FreeFonts.com virus safe as well? Thank you.**
