Prospectus News is back online, and I have not one, but three columns to share. In Where is Margaritaville, Anyway?, my recent trip to Mexico has me wondering about what often passes for Mexican food here in the U.S., and prompts me to satisfy my craving for real Mexican food at El Charro over on Green St. (If you haven’t been, you’re missing out.)

I share some of the summer fruit recipes we presented in the first farmer’s market episode of Look Who’s Cooking in Have Your Fruit and Eat it, Too.

And in Market Week, I take a tour of the farmer’s markets in the C-U area that are open during the week.

It is great to have the paper back online. The Prospectus staff is a talented, hard-working bunch of people, and many of their stories get picked up on local and national college newsfeeds online. (The photos are pretty amazing, too.) Student newspapers are a great resource for students interested in journalism or photography, but the school benefits, too. Parkland is lucky to have these guys writing and photographing the news for them. (And I’m lucky on both counts.)
