Sun-dried tomatoes brighten wintry days
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
In summer, we take for granted our unlimited access to juicy, delicious, mouth-watering ripe homegrown tomatoes.
But it isn’t summer anymore, and winter tomatoes tend to be tasteless.
If you still crave that rich tomato flavor, have you thought of using sun-dried tomatoes in recipes?
You don’t have to dehydrate them yourself if you don’t want to. They are available in most grocery stores and offer a versatility in dishes that may surprise you.
I hope you’ll try and enjoy these four recipes.

Keeping the dream alive
Community members joined together for the 14th annual joint Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration put on by Pickens Presbyterian Church and Griffin Ebenezer Baptist Church on Monday. Due to bad weather at past celebrations, organizers chose to have this year’s event in the fellowship building at Griffin Ebenezer instead of on the steps of the Pickens County Courthouse. The event kicked off with a community breakfast and featured words from local religious leaders, a moment of silence in memory of Mrs. Mae D. Anderson, the recitation of Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech by Rev. Wayne Robinson of Piedmont Manor Baptist Church in Greenville and musical selections by a combined community choir.
