Adopt toys will be sold for $5 per toy and all of the proceeds from the sale will benefit local pet shelters to help find pets new homes. These plush toys are seven inches and wear either a blue or white t-shirt with Adopt written on it as a reminder of the pets being helped from your purchase. These toys are soft and cuddly, with a squeaker inside for hours of enjoyment. Ruffins will donate the proceeds to Cats Anonymous and Upper Credit Humane Society.

Studio is located at What's Cookin': Tabbouleh is great as a side dish or as a main meal Today's tabbouleh salad recipe comes from my good friend and wonderful cook, Angela Dadd. Traditionally, tabbouleh salad is made with bulgur wheat, however, I like Angela's version with the couscous better--sometimes I even use some of each. Mom served this for Easter lunch-- with a scoop of the tabbouleh sitting on top of a nice ripe slice of tomato and a piece of Boston lettuce. For this version though, mom opted to skip the feta cheese, as there was cheese in other parts of the meal and she didn't want to overkill in the dairy dept.! Tabbouleh is an excellent side dish, but also great served as a main dish on a warm pita bread with some tatziki sauce drizzled over top. And for those of Lori Gysel & Gerry Kentner you that are meat eaters, adding some souvlaki on that pita as well is a really delicious meal. If you want to mix things up a bit, then try adding some cooked chick peas, black beans or roasted corn to the recipe. Tabbouleh is great hot or cold and is yummy served in an avocado half or used to stuff a whole tomato. Have fun and keep cooking!
