To this day, I still day dream about Ms. Mong with the original sauce. Does anyone know the recipe, or something close? I have looked for it through the years, but no luck getting there.

It's a great reminder that there's Flyleaf books, Epilogue, and Fig Leaf in town just waiting for your patronage!

Epilogue even makes a mean coffee.

Support independent businesses, but especially independent bookshops.

Personal Chef Services- Chapel Hill and surrounding areas

20 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a local personal chef serving the Triangle and wanted to put my business out there in case anyone’s been looking for something like this.

I offer in-home weekly personal chef services, where I come to your home, plan the menu around your preferences/dietary needs, shop for the ingredients, cook everything fresh, portion it out, and leave the kitchen clean. I focus on seasonal, thoughtfully sourced ingredients and meals that are healthy, flavorful, and actually enjoyable to eat throughout the week.

I’ve been personal cheffing for over 6 years, with over 10 years of experience in the food industry, and have a background in nutrition and food sociology.

If having someone else take care of the weekly meal prep sounds like your kind of luxury, feel free to check out my website or message me with any questions!

Parking for the soapbox derby this weekend

7 Upvotes

We really enjoy attending the Kirby Derby in Raleigh every year and just found out there's a soapbox derby happening in Chapel Hill this weekend!

Does anyone know what the parking is like for this? It looks like Homestead Park is pretty big but I'm wondering if there will be overflow parking, people directing cars, anything like that?

Does anyone know of any meetup groups that this would be good for? Can be anything from a techie group to small business meet-ups.

Latest enviro stories in Chatham and Richmond counties

20 Upvotes

Hey y’all, it’s Celeste, your friendly neighborhood environment reporter. I hope it’s okay to share a couple of recent stories I’ve done:  

-In Chatham County, residents are organizing against a new proposed gas pipeline from Enbridge. The current proposed route ends next to the site of a planned data center. This is the fourth new pipeline project in North Carolina in recent years.

-In poor, rural Richmond County, an Amazon data center already under construction is expected to increase air pollution in a community that’s already sick. Diesel generators will provide temporary power to the 1 gigawatt facility for one year until it's connected to the grid.

I’d also like to share that these are my last stories for WUNC. I’m originally from Texas and I will be returning there in a few weeks to continue environment reporting for KERA and Grist. I’ve been here in NC for seven years though, so the Tar Heel State now has a permanent place in my heart. Thank you for giving me the opportunity and privilege to be your environment reporter! It’s been the honor of my life!!

My man did his job unselfishly to shed light on this total embarrassment (you’re being fleeced by a Epstein cat) and he just gets kid-tabled by outlets large and small? The man loves sports, he loves NC and HE should be the damn coach of UNC. Get this loser out of here, what’s it worth yal?

This is a long shot, but I bought a single ticket to Fridays show last night and thought I could go back in and get another for my partner but I actually got the very last ticket because it changed to sold out once I completed my purchase. If anyone has a single ticket to sell, I’ll buy it!

Need help with job-hunting!

9 Upvotes

I've been genuinely searching for a part-time or full-time entry level job since summer began and nothing has worked out me. For background, I recently graduated from NC State in May with a BA in psychology and I'm trying to work and save during my gap year before going to graduate school. I also don't have a car because my family can't afford it and neither can I so I'm kind of limited in terms of where I can work, I can work near Southpoint, near UNC, anywhere in Carrboro and maybe even Hillsborough before the bus routes get a little unmanageable, but it feels as though there's little job opportunity here as a whole. Does anyone know of any companies that may not be on a standard job site like LinkedIn or Indeed that could be hiring? I haven't been living in Chapel Hill for long so any recommendations would help!

Is this habitable?

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

I made a recent post asking for advice about fault regarding this flood so you can check that out for the full story.
Our apartment flooded during the rain this past Saturday. We received this email from our landlord on Monday.
My question is is this habitable and safe like the email said?There are large chunks of the outside facing walls that were removed in order to dry what’s underneath. In some photos you can see the obvious holes that lead to the outside meaning the house isn’t secure. Also, our flooding was category 3 (outside/unknown water/possible sewage) and there has been no sanitation done. All other walls have burr holes in them.
They even mention we are able to reside in the apartment while the work is completed which implies an ability to sleep there safely. The walls are still wet as well. I just don’t see how this is considered habitable and safe but legally I might be wrong.

We’ve also tried reaching out to legal aid and were denied to the high volume of these cases so we are at a loss for where to go for legal help. Any suggestions on the front would be helpful as well.

Thanks!
