This weekend: Central Market cooking class, and the Labyrinth Theatre

If you want some last-minute pointers for basting that bird, sign up for one of the holiday cooking classes going on this weekend at the Central Market in our neighborhood. Or if you want to pass on the poultry this turkey day, you can learn some alternative recipes (like spicy tamales with pork and raisin stuffing).

And I know there is an unwritten law about celebrating Christmas before Thanksgiving—but if you live for this time of year, it’s a violation you’re comfortable with. If this speaks to you, swing by the Labyrinth theatre: It’s opening weekend for “Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol” (the classic tale told from a new perspective).
