COMPASSION & GRACE

One of the only Northside Sun subjects to admit to taking a cigarette break before the interview, Catherine Carter Sullivan has a smoker’s laugh that almost makes one want to pick up the habit. She doesn’t have a smoker’s voice, though. Her inflections, her clothing, and even her mannerisms are all soft and gentle, radiating her compassion before you see it in action. Catherine is executive director of Grace House, a Jackson-based nonprofit that helps homeless people living with HIV/AIDS. Her grandfather and father, Hodding Carter II and Hodding Carter III, were two of Mississippi’s greatest civil rights journalists. They called for the fair treatment of African Americans at a time when such talk would get you a new burning lawn ornament – or worse. Now Catherine is carrying on their legacy in her work at Grace House.

THE CATHEDRAL CHURCH OF ST. ANDREW

If nearly six generations make up 175 years, and 175 years make a dodransbicentennial, then it is reasonable to presume that the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, in downtown Jackson, will enjoy an important anniversary celebration October 25-26. For two days, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral will come together to celebrate in fine form its 175th anniversary.

With that notoriety came danger. A few times, Catherine and her siblings had to rush under the stairs at home. “There was even a bungled cross burning. And there were certain plate dinners we didn’t go to. We kids would stumble in and not know why we were treated so coldly,” she says. Still, “I was encouraged to spend time with anyone and everyone who came into my orbit. I had the opportunity to interact with people who I now know were living in horribly substandard conditions.” In middle school, Catherine spent time with a white girl whom other kids gossiped about. “What I knew that they didn’t was what her house felt like. It was toxic. Her dad was on the couch. We slept on a pallet on the floor when I spent the night with her. “So from the age of 12 or 13, I’ve been less prone to judge people. What I criticize is folks having easy answers for why people are the way they are. And I spent time in poor black people’s homes, wealthy black people’s homes, wealthy white people’s homes, and the stories were different everywhere.” Since childhood, Catherine has gravitated toward grassroots efforts that serve the poor and marginalized. She volunteered with the Mississippi Head Start Association as a kid. When her father was joining President Jimmy Carter’s administration in 1977, Catherine was heading off to Princeton. She majored in politics, but “by the time I was 25, I had so much dirty laundry, there was no way I was going into politics,” she says with a laugh. “I was out there from a young age, defending the defenseless but also getting into a whole lot of trouble. Because of how I was raised and youthful indiscretions, that continues to my attitude on the people I serve.” She went on to get

a juris-doctorate at Tulane University Law School and clerked for two Mississippi Supreme Court justices in Jackson. She ended up marrying another justice, Mike Sullivan. “I would’ve done legal services, criminal defense, housing issues, civil rights issues. Or I would’ve been lobbying against stupidity like [the Religious Freedom Act]. But I married a sitting justice. All the organizations I was interviewed with, they couldn’t risk losing his vote.” So she stayed home, unable to pour herself into the advocacy work she loved. “[But] it didn’t threaten the marriage. I loved being pregnant and loved being the mother of babies and watching

She doesn’t have a smoker’s voice, though. Her inflections, her clothing, and even her mannerisms are all soft and gentle, radiating her compassion before you see it in action.

They called for the fair treatment of African Americans at a time when such talk would get you a new burning lawn ornament – or worse. Now Catherine is carrying on their legacy in her work at Grace House. While she doesn’t believe AIDS is a civil rights issue, “it is no less compelling as a social justice issue,” she says. “Poverty, lack of information, and lack of access to care, these are social justice issues.” Attempting to address those disparities is a natural progression of her upbringing and her previous work, Catherine says. “This is the culmination of my life.” Growing up in Greenville, Catherine had experiences not many other kids were having, she says. She got to hear her dad talking with civil rights workers at the dinner table. She remembers being 10 years old during the Democratic National Convention of 1968, “when the Loyalist delegates were able to oust the regular delegates.” Nowadays, people say her father and grandfather were “progressive” journalists. “People use labels that tick me off. [My dad and grandfather] were liberals, not progressives, at least for the South. … They were bigger than life, for me and for others.”

them learn,” Catherine says. “[And] Mike had the same spirit [as I do]: He was a populist and protector of the Constitution and constitutional rights.” Margaret Sullivan was born in 1990, and Sarah followed in 1992. Catherine waited until Sarah was four, and then tried being a working mother. She was the director of Parents for Public Schools in Jackson for a year, until she decided her daughters were still too young not to have their mom at home. “I wish – no, I don’t wish it. I’m not one of those superwomen. And I don’t even want to call them that. It’s not fair to them. But my personality couldn’t make it work. I’m a perfectionist,” Catherine says. Mike died in 2000. From 2002 to 2006, Catherine taught drama at Casey Elementary in northeast Jackson. Then in 2008, when Margaret was graduating high school and Sarah was a junior, “that’s when I really went full time. I again became an activist and a trench worker.” First, Catherine worked for Luthern Episcopal Services of Mississippi. She managed money allocated for incarcerated inmates and their families. “It gave

me insights on where money should be spent,” she says. By fall 2010, funding had dried up, and she had to leave the organization. It closed soon after. Just a few months later, she started working for the state hospital at Whitfield. She was a paralegal and investigator on the forensics unit. In other words, “my job basically was to research the lives of men and women accused of crimes who were arguing mental incapacity. I was helping the psychologist there to determine the status of the accused,” Catherine says. “This gave me even more insight and wisdom. Most of the stories [of the accused] had traumatic and horrible beginnings. Some had HIV. Some were seriously mentally ill. But all of them had trauma. “But that job didn’t make use of all of my strengths. I don’t sit still eight hours a day very well,” she says. “Then there was this job opening. I realized what I’d done before had prepared me for this.” Grace House is one of three organizations in Mississippi that provide housing for the homeless HIV/AIDS population. In addition, Grace House offers addiction counseling and HIV education at

its Millsaps Avenue campus, which currently serves 24 residents in six buildings. And at satellite facilities throughout central Mississippi, the nonprofit provides rental assistance and supportive services to HIV-positive clients representing a minimum of 26 households. “Mississippi is near the top in terms of AIDS statistics. In Mississippi, Hinds County has the highest percentage of HIV cases among African American males, and the largest percentage of HIV/AIDS cases per capita. HIV follows commerce routes,” Catherine says. “Getting people into treatment is complicated by a dearth of clinics, particularly in rural areas, poverty, and a stigma. This is particularly difficult in the African American community. The rising group of new HIV/AIDS cases in Mississippi is 13- to 24-year-olds, mostly African Americans.” However, “huge strides are being made. St. James does the interfaith service for HIV/AIDS awareness every year, and the number of black ministers keeps growing.” Some of Grace House’s residents and clients have AIDS, while others are just HIV-positive. It typically takes about 10 years for HIV to become AIDS, and the goal is to get people plugged into services before that change happens. One misconception is that everybody with HIV/AIDS is depressed all the time, Catherine

says. “Once they are receiving the encouragement and support of a place like Grace House [there is] normalcy and gratitude. Do people walk around here every day whistling? No. But they don’t stay in places of despair. They have a normal range of emotions.” As she rounds up her first year at Grace House, Catherine isn’t ready to leave anytime soon. There’s still so much work to be done, including a kitchen renovation that’s been on the Grace House to-do list since 2010. “We do have some Princeton University reunions, May 2000, Parade: Hodding Carter III (class of ‘57, money from Northminster 43rd reunion), Catherine Carter Sullivan (class of ‘80, 20th reunion), Patricia M.

make up 175 years, and 175 years make a dodransbicentennial, then it is reasonable to presume that the Cathedral Church of St. Andrew, in downtown Jackson, will enjoy an important anniversary celebration October 25-26. In the bitter winter of the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine, a young deacon from New York arrived in Jackson, Miss. A missionary with the Domestic Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Rev. Daniel S. Lewis, along with eight locals, formed St. Andrew’s Church. The Rev. Lewis was paid an annual salary of $400, which is equivalent to approximately $10,000 in 2014 dollars. Lewis also held services at St. Mark’s Church in Raymond and St. Matthew’s Church in Clinton. According to the late Sherwood Willing Wise, author of “The Cathedral Church of St. Andrew’s: A Sesquicentennial History, 1839-1989,” and devoted St. Andrew’s parishioner, Jackson had a population of 2,000 in 1839, and a number of the early citizens were already communicants of the Episcopal Church. Shortly after Lewis organized St. Andrew’s, he moved on to Louisiana, leaving his former flock under the care of the Rev. George Weller at Christ Church in Vicksburg. Eventually, in 1843, a resident priest was appointed to serve the congregants of St. Andrew’s. The first St. Andrew’s Church building, built of brick and sited on the southeast corner of President and Amite streets, was in use by early 1850. Along with the rest of the region, St. Andrew’s suffered mightily in the scourge of the yellow fever epidemic of 1855, wiping out 25 percent of the communicants. Even with the threat of death, the priest at the time, the Rev. A. D. Corbyn, who also served as head of St. Andrew’s College, ministered to the sick and dying. He contracted

“During my tenure here, I’ve discovered a people not only committed in helping Jackson renew her identity while helping to create abundance for all who live here; my experience has been and continues to be a people who understand much about the unconditional, undeserved love of God in Christ and who seek to make such Good News known to anyone seeking meaning and truth. It is my humble honor to serve such a dynamic, vibrant congregation.” -Edward O’Connor

the fever and perished in the autumn of 1855. Because of the epidemic, the college closed its doors forever. When the Civil War broke out, St. Andrew’s was under the steady guidance of the Rev. William Croes Crane, a native of New Jersey. Jackson was occupied four times. Residents suffered through the Battle of Jackson (May 1863) and the Siege of Jackson (July 1863) and was burned during both occupations. The church building was destroyed, and following the war,

St. Andrew’s worshipped for a while in a room called Odd Fellows Hall in City Hall, which, along with the Old Capitol and the Governor’s Mansion, survived the devastation all around. Prior to the war, in addition to St. Andrew’s Church tending to the spiritual needs of its parishioners, it also served those same needs to blacks and prisoners. During Reconstruction, St. Andrew’s, with its new priest, the Rev. Joseph Louis Tucker, became very active in Christian education, with three Sunday School initiatives: the parish Sunday School, a black mission school (which 400 to 500 newly-freed slaves attended every Sunday) and a penitentiary school, the penitentiary standing where the New Capitol is sited today. According to Wise, “Numerous convicts told the rector that the one view they had of anything besides walls and chains was the hour devoted to them on Sunday afternoon; this was filled with peace, kindness, and good will.” War decreased the number of communicants, from 113 in 1860 to 94 in 1870, but it had not diminished their enthusiasm. By 1873, St. Andrew’s second church building was complete, and in a mere 25 years, the body of the church would see substantial growth and became aware of the need of a new and much larger church building. The cornerstone of the third and current church building was laid in 1902, and in 1903, the new church across the street from the Governor’s Mansion came into use. Throughout the 20th century, St. Andrew’s helped establish mission churches throughout the area: St. Mark’s, St. Columb’s, St. James’, St. Philip’s; St. Matthew’s, Kosciusko; as well as the newest addition: St. Alexis on E. South Street, in downtown Jackson. The church, with some of its members, founded St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, and on September 8, 1947, 42 students enrolled for the first through the fourth grades. Last year, St. Andrew’s was ranked as the 18th best private day school in America by thebestschools.org There have been many notable priests to serve over the past 175 years. Some familiar names to

current-day Jacksonians might be the Revs. Walter Capers (whose daughter was Charlotte, after whom the Mississippi Department of Archives and History named one of their buildings); Vincent Franks, who, as a young child in the Canadian hinterlands, was kidnapped by a childless Algonquin squaw and was later found by his parents in the middle of a cornfield; Edward Harrison, who, as Wise wrote, “held a deep commitment to the concept of Christian love as he saw it and paved the way for those who continued to lead the church [in the 1960s] toward complete reconciliation.” The 1960s brought tumult and racial struggle. In 1963, St. Andrew’s made national news when four young black women quietly entered the church and remained there for the duration of the service. They were the first to be admitted to a white Protestant church in Jackson. Wise wrote that the Rev. Christoph Keller Jr. reminisced about that service, saying, “Looming in my own vivid recollection of that event is the fear and determination expressed in the face of one of these women as I shook her cold and trembling hand at the door of the church and attempted to reassure her.” In 1966, St. Andrew’s became the Cathedral Church for the Diocese of Mississippi, and throughout the

Rev. Vincent Franks

Rev. Edward Harrison

’60s and ’70s, acted as an agent for charity, change and reconciliation. Other deans, the term to which the priest at a cathedral church is referred, included the Very Revs. John Jenkins, Robert Gordon Oliver, Sid Sanders, Rod Murray, Ed Bacon, Joe Robinson and Edward O’Connor, the current dean. In the more recent past, St. Andrew’s, as well as many churches in Jackson, across Mississippi and the nation, responded in earnest to the needs of the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. The church has many outreach ministries such as the Tuesday Morning Breakfast Club for the homeless and residents of local shelters; Meals on Wheels; Stewpot Community Services; Grace House for people living with HIV-AIDS; Mississippi Food Network; Operation Shoestring; Mission Mississippi; Working Together Jackson and Habitat for Humanity, as well as several others. There are also significant in-reach programs, too. For two days, Saturday and Sunday, October 2526, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral will come together to celebrate in fine form its 175th anniversary. From 10 to 11:30 a.m., Saturday morning, Dean Edward O’Connor will moderate a panel discussion with former clergy. Dean O’Connor says, “I will ask open-ended questions to each of our panelists. I envision a light-hearted yet substantive discussion with regard to memories about St. Andrew’s.” Also at 10 a.m., there will be cathedral birthday party fun for the children. On the agenda are face-painting, moon jumps, basketball contests and bean bag tosses. There will be more fun with hula hoops, bubble machines, sidewalk chalk and the old pick-a-duck game. Add cotton candy, balloons, popcorn and craft activities to commemorate the birthday celebration. As music is an important part of worship at St. Andrew’s, Dr. John Paul is busy planning his contributions with the organ and carillon. He says, “My plan is to have celebratory organ music

(pieces which have been specially admired by the parish family in the past five decades) every hour on the hour, and carillon peals from the bells throughout the Saturday celebrations.” Outreach has been, and continues to be, a major component in which the Cathedral of St. Andrew makes manifest the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the larger community. There will be displays of all outreach ministries connected to the cathedral. The displays will be exhibited as part of a cathedral tour to show the congregation, former deans and clergy what’s been happening over the years, possibly work the visiting former clergy initiated. Also on view will be a pictorial timeline of St. Andrew’s over the past 175 years. The carnival will culminate with a casual lunch of hamburgers, hot dogs, cake and ice cream, and the singing of “Happy Birthday, Dear St. Andrew’s.” Plans are in motion to remove the cornerstone and open the time capsule at some point during the weekend. On Sunday, October 26, at 9:30 a.m., a coffee with current and former clergy will be held in the Parish Hall. At 10:30 a.m., Paul, with both the parish and cathedral choirs, will present a half-hour special musical program, with selections by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Martin How and others. Paul says, “There will be one major church service at 11 a.m., and the choirs will wear their magnificent new robes from England for the first time, in honor of the 175th.”

Dean O’Connor will lead the service and the ecumenical celebration for the anniversary. The anniversary festivities will conclude at the end of the service, whereupon St. Andrew’s Cathedral will return to its divinely-inspired work to love and serve the Lord. For the past 175 years, as Jackson’s history has been formed, St. Andrew’s has responded to the needs of its congregants and to the needs of the citizens of its community and diocese. St. Andrew’s heart is always full of the Lord’s will and work. Where there is the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Andrew in Jackson, there is dynamic worship, fearless giving and a radical welcome to all.

CHAMPIONSHIPS CONTINUE

by JENNY MARKOW

nd the 2014 USTA Championships continue. The Tri Level championships were played in Tupelo, August 8 -10. The weather was scorching hot, but that’s better than getting rained out, which has happened too. More than 450 tennis players from across the state came to compete during the weekend tournament. On Sunday, nine teams were crowned champions and they will compete against teams from Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Tennessee during the USTA Southern Section Regional Tri Level event held at Ridgeland Tennis Center October 17-19. Leah Warren’s 3.5-3.5 ladies 18 and over, Brad Castle’s 3.0-4.0 men’s 18 and over, Steve Garrett’s 3.04.0 men’s 40 and over, and Brian Tolley’s 3.5-3.5 men’s 40 and over teams all won from the Northside. Best of luck at the regional championship. Next up are Oxford and Hattiesburg for the USTA League Mixed Doubles Championships. McKeever Huen is the captain for the 3.0 men’s 18 division team from Desoto County that recently went to Auburn for the USTA League Sectional Championships. Huen captained his men all the way to the finals where they won and now will head to Tucson October 10-12 to compete in the USTA League National Championships. Best of luck to you all. Members of the team playing out of Tunica National Resort are Garrett Trautman, Scott Lawhorn, Edwin Gilless, Justin Yelverton, Rusty Volmer, Jim Green, Mckeever Huen, Melton Worsham, Jed Hale, Chip Wiggins, and Joe Summers. Virginia Walcott and her 4.5 ladies traveled to Asheville, N.C., in late August to vie for a spot at USTA Nationals as well. They had a great tournament, making it to the finals where they fell just shy of the victory. This team goes back to 1997 when they all first competed together on a USTA League team where they made it to state, sectionals and nationals, finishing in second place. Sitting out the following year, they regrouped in 1999 and returned to sectionals that year. After several different seasons of not playing they won sectionals and went to nationals again in 2008, where they finished in fourth place. They went to sectionals in 2013 in 18s and 40s. This year’s trip to sectionals in the 40s was their 12th time to go in the 14 years they have competed. Captain Virginia has this to say about her team, “We are a group of lifelong friends, and we have a blast preparing and competing together. We have always especially loved the challenges and experiences of competing at USTA Southern Sectionals, where there is the opportunity to meet and play against so many different great teams and players. And it goes without saying that we have just as much fun together off the court.” Team members are Virginia Walcott, Cindy Hannon, Gayla Elliott, Michelle Jennings, Melanie Billman, Colleen Roberts, Beth Rogers, Debra Byrne, Elizabeth Caldwell, Cami StoneHill and Emillia Viljoen. Just like the Davis Cup for professional tennis, the Southern Junior Cup represents excellence among top-level, competitive junior players from the USTA Southern Section. The Mississippi team consists of some of the top boys and girls in each age division, competing in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. Three boys and three girls make up a team. Team Mississippi competes against teams from the other eight states in the Southern Section during this premier event. Not only is it quite an honor to be selected for this team, it is one of the most fun events in junior tennis because of the team spirit and camaraderie. Before heading to Chattanooga for the Southern Junior Cup, the team coaches sponsored a “Southern Junior Cup Warmup Clinic” at Ridgeland Tennis Center.

Next up is the USTA National JTT Championships, which will be back in Cayce, S.C., October 16-19. A couple of the team members aren’t rookies to the national scene, Megan Humphreys and Patrick Roth played last year on a MS 14 Advanced team that finished fourth in the nation. They have high hopes for nationals this year. Team Mississippi will march in the opening ceremonies carrying a banner they designed to represent Mississippi and their team spirit. A new twist to the JTT National Championship in 2014 is the Adopt-a-Unit effort during the championships.

In 2004 the Jackson Ladies Tennis Association’s (JLTA) board of directors established a college educational scholarship for one entering female freshman at a twoyear or four-year community college, college or university. In the spring of each year, a committee comprised of two members of the JLTA board of directors and two members of the association as a whole will choose a recipient from among the qualified applicants. The scholarship is awarded annually and is renewable for four years at an amount of $750 per year, for a total scholarship amount of $3,000. Those applying must live in the tri-county area, performed with distinction during their school years, both academically and community service, and played varsity tennis for their high school. Any student receiving a full tennis scholarship isn’t eligible. Carly Causey is the 2014 recipient of the JLTA scholarship. Carly is the daughter of Rachel and Ken Causey and is a 2014 graduate of Jackson Prep. She was a member of the Jackson Prep tennis team for five years, and was the number one Girls Doubles (partner: Bray Koury) State AAA Champion in May 2014. She was also a varsity cheerleader for three years, a member of the varsity swim team for three years, and a member of the Jackson Prep showchoir “Revellion” for four years. She is a freshman at the University of Mississippi where she is a Provost Scholar. Carly and her family are members of Highlands Presbyterian Church. Longtime JLTA player, Mary Anne Lefoldt, recently shared some JLTA history along with her team’s story. Mary Anne started playing JLTA at Colonial more than 30 years ago. When she started, there were only five colors; red (highest), gold, white, blue and green. Two more levels were added several years later, platinum (highest) and bronze. As the demand for more teams continued, another level was added, yellow and eventually green (lowest) was dropped. Mary Anne and her teammates named their team the Matchpoints and started at the bottom level, green. Over the years, ladies have had to leave the team, new ones have been added, but the present team has been playing together for more than 20 years. Now that’s something. There are so many bonds between these ladies, that’s one thing that makes playing tennis on a team so special. “We have had several extended family member deaths but nothing as heartbreaking as losing one of our team members. Hallie Keyes was the matriarch of our team and when she became ill with cancer, we rallied around her. Hallie had been on our team for 12 years and she was such a wonderful person. After her death in April 2010, we have kept her memory. We talk about her. She gave us matching towels with Matchpoints on it. She gave each of us a Christmas ornament and every year I think of Hallie when I decorate our tree. She loved tennis and her warmth was felt wherever she went. We carry a picture of her in our tennis book to help keep her memory alive. “Hallie Keyes, a great lady and a wonderful tennis enthusiast, we miss you terribly. I have seen so many changes over the years. JLTA is a great avenue for tennis in the tri-county area.We are fortunate to have such a well-organized association. I have served as treasurer, color secretary and disciplinarian. It takes great dedication to be an officer and due to the commitment of so many intelligent women, JLTA continues to be a huge success and a well-organized association. Anything that lasts 35 years, in this day and time, is very well operated. Jackson women are very lucky to have JLTA.” During the 2014 US Open, tennis fans from the Northside were spotted all over the grounds. One lucky fellow, Brad Castle, actually sat in the president’s box, thanks to Daniel McFadder, via Mitch Peters. The Tri-County Tennis Association received two tickets to raffle off for seats in the president’s box. Each year, USTA Mississippi receives these tickets to award to a CTA to use to raise funds for their organization. Daniel was the lucky winner, but he wasn’t able to attend. He asked around and Peters knew that Brad was going and hooked him up with the tickets. “Oh my gosh, what an experience we had,” says Castle. “I really wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was incredible. “The hospitality, food, seats, everything was over the top, it sure was hard to go to our regular seats the following day,” continues Brad. Not only did Brad have great seats in the box, a gentleman from Clemson, S.C., gave him front row seats in Armstrong Stadium for the evening match, where they saw the Williams sisters playing doubles. “This is a trip we will never forget, I hope I can win these next year too,” finishes Castle. Some other Northsiders seen milling around the grounds were Jane Tubbs, Carolyn Dumas, Billy Williams, Pat Bunkley, Julie Jackson, Jennie Mullen, Sabrina Sutherland, Rhoda Maloney, Jill Siler and Jane Turner. There is a lot of tennis left to be played before the winter months set in. Grab a buddy, head to the courts and enjoy some great tennis and fall weather.

New York City becomes a second home to many Northside tennis enthusiasts in late August and early September. There are always lots of people heading there to watch tennis during the US Open, while taking in the sights and eating some good food.

STRESS FREE

Marlana Walters, Proprietor The Everyday Gourmet

ife is filled with stressful moments. Like most people, our family has experienced some nerve-racking events that brought about a rally of supporters and other times the sound of crickets replaced the ringing of our doorbell. I recall having more food brought to us when we had no appetite and when we were really hungry there was no covered dish waiting for us in the refrigerator. Why is it that certain life changes and circumstances are worthy of a casserole and others are not? I have a theory that there are casseroles-are-coming situations and nocasseroles-in-sight conditions. Uncontrollable stressful moments like death, illness and babies bring about an immediate emotional response and are typically marked with arrival of flowers and casseroles. While self-induced stressful moments like getting married or divorced, changing jobs and moving have a smaller selection in the card aisle and are not usually acknowledged with baked goods. When we announced that The Everyday Gourmet was moving to the old O’Charley’s Restaurant, I got an immediate message from a friend con-

gratulating us on our new location and a notice that he would be out of town on moving day. I found it odd that he didn’t even know the date that we were going to move the store when he gave notification that he would be unable to help. I am confident he won’t be sending a casserole either. I get it, I am the person who would rather do just about anything than get involved in someone else’s mess. Self-induced stressful situations bring about a whole different emotional response, and people often stay away from you until you work through whatever is going on in your life for fear that you might ask them for something. I have never run by Primos Café to pick up a casserole for a friend whose husband ran off with someone half his age or delivered a gift basket to a neighbor whose sister is going to jail for failure to file payroll taxes for the last 10 years for her herb farm in California, and likewise I have never willingly offered to make dinner for a friend or family member while they are moving for fear that I might be asked to help lift something heavy when I show up with the meal. When someone dies or has a baby, the offerings of help are abundant. However, once you’re married (happily or not), lose your job, or decide to change the location where you reside those times when you need a helping hand, no one ever asks, “What can I do for you?” If they do (in a moment of complete insanity) extend an offer of assistance in your time of need, ask them to make you dinner. I think you will both be surprised by the awkward pause that is certain to follow. Sometimes the most stressful of events are totally self-induced. Regardless, the process of moving is physically and emotionally exhausting. The past month of remodeling, and transferring the entire contents of The Everyday Gourmet to a new location has been quite a task. The last thing I’ve wanted to do is cook dinner after a long day of fetching and toting boxes. For people like me who are busy and stressed out, the Crockpot is almost as essential as having a dolly around on moving day. When you are facing one of those stressful life moments and no one has offered to drop off a meal, I suggest you pull out the Crockpot and pretend that someone whipped up dinner for you. A slow cooker is a fix-it-and-forget way to make dinner without the stress. You can also make cleanup easy by adding soapy water to the slow cooker and turning on high for an hour.

n o r t h s i d e

FOODWISE

Whatever stressful situation you’re facing, dinner doesn’t have to be complicated. Bring out the slow cooker and try this hearty chili and surprisingly simple peach cobbler. We all know that a slow cooker can make a tasty meal, but did you know that dinner and dessert could cook in the same pot at the same time? Until now, I never tried to make multiple courses in one pot. I was a little stressed in the beginning, but just like all other self-induced stressful situations – the outcome was worth the anxiety.

SLOW DOWN CHILI INGREDIENTS 1 package Frontier Soups Ski Country Chili 1 ½ pound London Broil*, trimmed and cubed 4 cups beef broth 2 cans Rotel tomatoes 1 can diced tomatoes 2 tablespoons peach juice 2 mini Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate bars

DIRECTIONS Rinse beans and place in slow cooker. Add beef broth and contents of chili seasoning packet (I remove the chili peppers and bay leaf from the seasoning.), cubed meat, Rotel tomatoes, and peach juice. Stir, cover and cook on low for eight to 10 hours. Add dark chocolate and allow to melt before serving. Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions or tortilla chips *London broil is an umbrella term that refers to a 1 1/2 to 2-pound top round, shoulder or flank steak

COCOTTE PEACH COBBLER INGREDIENTS 1 small can Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls, cubed 1 can sliced peaches with juice, (less 2 tablespoons)

DIRECTIONS In a 1-quart cocotte gently combine cubed cinnamon rolls and icing. Carefully move cinnamon rolls to the side of the dish and pour peaches and juice in the center. Cover with lid or leave the top off the cocotte to allow the chili aromatics to permeate the cobbler and give it a more complex flavor. Position cocotte in center of chili. (I place a shallow ramekin in the chili under the cocotte to give it a lift.) Cook for eight to 10 hours. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
