LIFESTYLE LETTER

Ever Grateful

November 2022 PUBLISHER

Marc Rochelson | marc.rochelson@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

Jennie Treadway-Miller | jennie.miller@citylifestyle.com

When we started planning the November issue, we knew we wanted to spotlight a few places in town that could use our help. First, we talked to Marti Baker of CareCuts, an organization committed to helping Knoxville’s homeless community find footing for a new life. What began with an idea for offering free haircuts evolved into a multi-faceted weekly event rooted in relationship and love. Take it from us: Sunday mornings on Williams St. are bigger and better than you could imagine. That being said, they still need our help.

Likewise, Smoky Mountain Service Dogs moved into their new training facility at the end of 2020, and they continue to do the good work of matching well-trained dogs with veterans who need mobility assistance.

We interviewed the organization back in 2019 when they were still fundraising for their facility, and while they’ve had widespread support from businesses and individuals, the need is greater than ever for puppy raisers and foster families for weekend respite. If you’re a dog lover with a heart for our nation’s veterans, this story is for you.

It’s November, so we can’t forget about Thanksgiving. This month, you’ll find a mouth-watering recipe for Aliceson Bales’ Apple Pie and Walnut Kitchen’s own Old Fashioned. We also have a handful of cookbook suggestions from the book buyer at Union Ave Books, in case you’re looking to update your holiday menus.

As always, we’re thankful for the contributions from our partners. This month, Jack Neely and Paul James of Knoxville History Project pulled together a walking tour of UT’s campus, and Jacob Hoheisel of PYA Waltman offers a valuable word on the importance of expressing gratitude.

We hope you enjoy our November issue. Please, if you have a story idea or would like to partner with us, drop us a line or connect with us on social media.

We are grateful to serve Knoxville and the surrounding area alongside you.

We have the power to make things better!

Stay Safe this Winter with this Handy Electrical Checklist With winter on its way, it’s time to handle important electrical maintenance tasks to keep your home functioning properly. With colder temperatures, longer nights and the coming holiday season, your home’s electrical system can get overloaded. Use this handy guide to make sure your system is up to the challenge and doesn’t leave you in the dark when you least expect it.

Lights and Fixtures Wattage matters! Prevent fires and prolong the life of fixtures and bulbs by using the correct bulbs. Inspect fixtures, both indoors and out, for loose connections, rust and frayed wiring.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly for reliability and replace batters annually. Check expiration dates and replace smoke detectors every 10 years. Older carbon monoxide detectors have a life span of two years.

Replace newer models every five to six years.

Outdoor Electrical Outlets Check outdoor outlets, cords and extensions for damage before and after a winter storm. Make sure outdoor outlets have weather covers.

Backup Generators Schedule annual maintenance and calibration for home generators. Keep the area around the generator clean, change oil as recommended and check electrical wires, buttons, bolts, connections, elements and the grounding for function and safety.

Electrical Panel Maintenance Older electrical panels should be inspected by a certified electrician for improper wiring and oversized or undersized breakers, especially if updated appliances have been added to an older home.

Indoor Outlets and Extension Cords Update indoor electrical outlets for safety and convenience.

Outlets should be inspected every 10-15 years, especially if they are warm to the touch or are cracked or loose. Install additional outlets and use certified surge protectors and power strips instead of overloading extension cords.

Decorative Lighting Double check lights for frayed wires or cracks, and be sure there is a bulb in each socket. Discard and replace damaged strands. Keep ladders and decorations away from overhead power lines. Do not hammer tacks or nails into the electrical cord when hanging lights. Instead, use clips to safely attach lights to the house. Use no more than three strands of lights per extension cord.

Red UL designation on a tag indicates lights are safe for indoor/ outdoor use. Green UL marks indicate the lights are only safe for indoor use. Use a timer or turn off lights before going to bed or if you will be away from home.

Be Safe this Winter

Local, Family-Owned Salons for Over 40 years

You Deserve Perfect Hair All the Time!

Hair Extensions

Remember decades ago when it was a priority to have the perfect hair for New Year’s Eve? And then again for Easter Sunday. And for when school started. And before Grandma visited for Thanksgiving.

Remember when it was important to have your hair done before Christmas, for all those family photos? Well ok, those are still important dates to have perfect hair, but we don’t see the desperation in the salons like we once did leading up to those days.

Hair extension by Tracie Ludwig at our Powell salon location.

When did we choose to have perfect hair only sometimes?

You deserve perfect hair all the time. We’ve let day-to-day life get so busy that we’ve quit allowing ourselves time for pampering and self-care. Why wait for a holiday, or a vacation, or a major life event to make your hair a priority?

As we approach the holidays, make your hair #1 on your to-do list and keep it there.

Stop what you are doing right now (well, finish reading this!) and call one of our ten salon locations to make an appointment before the holiday rush. And when the holidays are over, continue to make your hair and your “me time” a priority.”

SMOKY MOUNTAIN SERVICE DOGS NEEDS PUPPY RAISERS AND FOSTER FAMILIES

A LIFE

Trainers Cassie and Laura with Cooper and Clayton

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY JENNIE TREADWAY-MILLER

G IV IN G BAC K | LOCA L SERVI CE S

In October 2017, Smoky Mountain Service Dogs, an organization dedicated to training and providing mobility-assistance service dogs to veterans at no cost, was awarded a check for $225,000 by the American Valor Foundation, founded by American Sniper Chris Kyle’s family. The money kicked off SMSD’s “More Wags for Warriors” campaign to build a larger kennel and provide a more suitable training space than the old Foothills Mall storefront where they had been meeting.

Local businesses and community members followed suit, and soon the organization had more than $500,000 in donations to break ground and build the 3500-square-foot facility.

The Veteran Canine Training Center opened in late 2020 and has become everything the group could’ve hoped for.

“Everything has been paid for, so there is no debt,” says Mike Kitchens, chairman of the board. “It was truly a group effort.”

On every wall around the facility are memorials to celebrate veterans and their families, along with donated quilts and drawings, wood-carved pieces and other specialized works from area artists. The Tellico Village Woodworker’s Club, for example, made custom sliding doors for each office. Around every corner is another visual reminder of the mission: to enhance the physical and psychological quality of life for veterans with disabilities. To accomplish that, it takes a village of volunteers, trainers, and, of course, eager pups, usually Labrador and Golden Retrievers.

“We currently have 28 dogs in training, and by the time they’re placed with a veteran, they’ve had 1500 to 1800 hours of training,” says Mike. “By the time the dog has been placed with a veteran, about $22,000 to $25,000 has been invested into the dog over two years.”

Since all administrative duties are accomplished by volunteers, every dollar donated goes straight to the dogs’ training and care. Inside the facility are 18 indoor/outdoor runs, two large training rooms that can be converted into a larger space, offices and a classroom, a veterinary treatment room, and a dedicated grooming space. Heather Wilkerson, the Canine Program Manager, lives on the property with her husband Darrell, a U.S. Navy veteran and the Facilities Manager.

The Wilkersons, along with Lead Trainer Susan Randall and staff trainers Cassie Krause and Laura Porter, are the only paid positions in the organization. That leaves a lot of room for volunteers to help prepare each dog to be placed with a veteran within a few years’ time.

“We’ve served 53 veterans to date,” says Mike. “There’s no federal agency devoted to service animals, but the government recognizes Assistance Dogs International as the standard.

That means veterans with accredited organizations like Smoky Mountain Service Dogs are eligible for benefits through the VA, benefits meaning vet care.”

In addition to vet bills being covered, SMSD supplies dog food through Natural Pet Supply and pawTree for the working life of the dog. Once the dog retires from service, he or she assumes the role of family pet.

Despite the success SMSD has had with its facility and financial support, there is still a huge need for help raising puppies and offering weekend respite for dogs that live at the kennel Monday through Friday.

“We get puppies at eight weeks old, and they’re placed with a foster family for 10 months. They bring them to puppy class once a week,” says Laura Porter. “At one year old, the dogs are spayed or neutered and moved into the facility full time. We like for them to go on weekend respites so they get that love and attention.”

Foster families are asked to continue basic training commands at home and avoid things like rough-housing and other aggressive play. They are, however, encouraged to take the pup-in-training on errands, regular walks, and offer lots of love. If volunteers

18

G IV IN G BAC K | LOCA L SERVI CE S

cannot commit to 10 months of housing and raising a puppy, weekend respite offers short but valuable time for dogs who need a break from the kennel.

“You can have other animals as a volunteer. We do an assessment to make sure the dog is compatible with your pets,” says Laura. “People can co-raise dogs too if they don’t want the fulltime commitment.”

To inquire about being a puppy raiser or weekend respite, or to sign up as a volunteer in another capacity, visit SmokyMountainServiceDogs.org.

W H AT ’ S T H E T R A I N I N G A N D PLACEMENT PROCESS? • At eight weeks old, puppies are placed with Puppy Raisers for approximately 10 months and are required to attend weekly training sessions at SMSD. • At one year old, the dog is spayed/neutered and moves into the facility full time. They get weekend respites with foster families from Friday evening to Monday morning.

• Dogs-in-Training learn several essential skills, such as retrieving items for the veteran, like a cell phone or even the dog’s own leash, placing his head on the veteran’s lap for a calming effect, and getting help from another family member in the house. The dogs are trained to look at their handler for instruction and listen for commands. (Note: Dogs are not trained for medical responses, such as seizure or Diabetic alert, nor are they guide dogs for sight impairment.)

• Once a dog is trained, the matching process begins with a meet-and-greet with a veteran.

This involves making sure walking speeds and energy levels match. Often, trainers can see if there’s an initial bond that takes place.

• When a pair is matched, the veteran is taught what the dog knows and is provided with all the supplies he or she will need on a regular basis for the working life of the dog.

• Veterans must send monthly reports on the dog’s health and participate in Public Access Tests annually, then every other year.

• SMSD follows the dog for the entirety of its working life.

ALICESON’S APPLE PIE ARTICLE BY ALICESON BALES | PHOTOGRAPHY BY TINA WILSON PHOTOGRAPHY

We are a family of three – my husband Barry, our 15-year-old son Marshall, and me. Barry is a farmer, hunter, and multi-Grammy award-winning musician and has been playing bass for Alison Krauss and Union Station for over 30 years. Marshall oversees the egg program. I spent the larger part of my life as a Physical Therapist and now enjoy days on the farm homeschooling Marshall and living alongside Barry. I like to read, run, and cook for the guys, and I regularly share recipes and videos on how to cook our farm-raised products from my blog, my cookbook, YouTube, and we now have a podcast.

This recipe comes from the Bales Farm Cookbook. If I’m known for a dessert, this is it. (I’m not saying I am necessarily,

just that this is the most requested dessert I make.) I’ve been whipping up this dessert since Barry and I got married. His great-grandmother grafted her own apple trees, and they grew the best apples for baking ever. Her trees aren’t around and producing anymore but thankfully Barry has grafted trees for us, and we look forward to apples every summer. They are super small but mighty.

Our first year of marriage, Barry and I ate this pie literally every single day from June until October. With ice cream. Obviously, that was 20 years and different metabolic rates ago. We don’t indulge as often now, but it is fabulous.

ingredients

directions

• • • • • • • • •

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 cup butter, melted 1/2 cup old fashioned oats 2/3 cup white sugar 3 tablespoons cornstarch 1 1/4 cup water 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 cups apples, peeled and diced (You can slice if you like. I prefer apples bite-sized.)

• vanilla ice cream to top

2. Combine flour, brown sugar, butter, and oats in a large bowl. Mix well and take out 1 cup to set aside for your top crust. Now press the rest in a 9-inch pie plate with your hands.

3. Peel and dice the apples. Drizzle in vanilla with the apples and set aside.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, water, and cornstarch.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Do not leave for a second or you’ll have a concrete mess. Once boiling, this magically comes together as a syrupy beauty. Pour over the apples.

4. Pour the apple mixture in a pie plate and crumble reserve oat mixture on top.

Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and delicious. Please serve with ice cream! And don’t even talk to me about this being fattening or not diet friendly. It’s DESSERT, people. Enjoy it!

“When Covid started, I felt like we were essential but the city didn’t agree. So, I went home and that was the day I cried. But we figured out how to make it work.”

In early 2016, Marti and Archie Baker were volunteering with Lost Sheep Ministry, a homeless outreach program that hosts weekly meals under the I-40 bridge downtown. It was work they felt called to do, but something about the two-hour Wednesday night event felt unfinished. Something tugged on Marti’s heart.

“Next thing I know, Marti said, ‘I think I could do more,’” says Archie. Feeding hungry people and praying with them was important, and it would continue, but there was something else Marti wanted to do.

There was no ignoring the nudge she felt. They talked to their church about a partnership, and by April, the Bakers and other volunteers were offering monthly meals and a haircut, a service she felt strongly would help restore dignity to people who were struggling.

“I looked around and thought, ‘Yes, Lord, I’ll cut their hair,’” she recalls. Marti had been a stylist for 40 years and owns Salon LaRue on Kingston Pike. She had connections all over the city. This was her wheelhouse. This was the gift she was equipped to give.

The evolution of CareCuts hasn’t been without challenges. A few months into their new endeavor, they had to move locations, and then they had to move locations again. Then a pandemic hit, and that brought a whole new set of logistical challenges. By 2020, CareCuts had grown into a large monthly gathering of people – those willing to serve and those who needed help.

“When Covid started, I felt like we were essential but the city didn’t agree. So, I went home and that was the day I cried,” says Marti. “But we figured out how to make it work. We were grab-and-go for a year and a half. We spray-painted the sidewalk with lines six feet apart. We moved around however we needed. We

started whatever we could. Then we saw the relationships starting, and I wanted to do it every Sunday.”

By 2021, CareCuts – with its motto Restoring Dignity. Restoring Lives. – had grown into a full-scale weekly operation at 519 Williams Street. They also provided a hot meal, clothes, first aid, and administrative help obtaining Social Security cards, birth certificates, and, in some cases, bus tickets. If needed, folks could get a haircut.

“Today we’re sending three or four people to rehab.

They’ve asked for our help, so we’ve set it up,” says Kecia Armstrong, director of CareCuts. “We have connections with halfway houses and can arrange transportation for them.”

The organization operates entirely on donations, and no one is paid for the work done on Sunday mornings. Volunteers arrive by 7:30 a.m. and get busy. Marti insists on not micro-managing their time, so there is no volunteer coordinator to contact or long process to get started. In the truest sense of the definition, Marti and her team ask people to show up, and they do.

“The energy of it starts at the top,” says Kecia. “In here, it’s peaceful. Many of these folks have severe mental illness. Many times, they come in here and fall asleep in the chairs because they’re exhausted and cannot find rest anywhere. They come because of the atmosphere. They feel loved here.”

CareCuts helps an average of 200 people in need every Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., but preparations are already underway days prior. There’s administrative work to do, donations to process, and supplies to organize. None of it would happen without volunteers and cooperation from other organizations, such as K-Town Connect and area churches.

“Mayor Jacobs with Knox County donated two brand new computers and a printer/scanner,” says Marti. “Once a month, you can sign up for Section 8 housing, but these people don’t have a computer. So, we’re going to build a computer station to help them sign up for housing.”

It’s this sort of contribution that gives Marti hope that her dream of a day center is possible, a place where people can shower, eat, wash their clothes, and work on housing and job applications.

Until then, she and her supercrew of volunteers will continue doing the work of helping with the most immediate needs, loving them and praying with them, and keeping the door open for the next opportunity to make a bigger impact.

“One man waited three months on his fingerprints, so I just went over to the new Chief of Police and asked for his help. It came the next day,” says Marti, smiling. “I never think about not doing this.”

IMMEDIATE NEEDS • Men’s clothes, specifically jeans (waist sizes 28-36) • Women’s undergarments, gloves, and comfortable shoes (all sizes) • New ADA compliant portable shower facilities (the current portable shower is from 1972 and not handicapped accessible) • Volunteer nurses • Volunteer stylists • First aid supplies • OTC medications (heartburn, cold/flu, allergies, pain reliever, lice treatment) Donations are accepted on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 519 Williams Street.

Whip Up Something New COOKBOOK RECOMMENDATIONS FROM UNION AVE BOOKS November is a good time to bring home a new cookbook. Sure, you’ll need your family’s traditional recipes on hand over the next few months, but why not add something new to the mix? Whether a new one-pot-wonder or vegetarian dish on the dinner table, Chelsea Bauer, Book Buyer at Union Ave. Books, has six suggestions for you.

A one pot recipe book is always going to be my favorite kind of recipe book. Simple, no-fuss, delicious recipes with stunning photography.

From the host of the Food Network program “Girl Meets Farm,” this cookbook has both delicious recipes and blog-style confessional essays.

Every recipe includes an excerpt from the book it took its inspiration from and this is Stephen King approved — he even wrote the introduction.

An absolutely gorgeous cookbook filled with every possible vegetable dish you could think of.

We have had a hard time keeping this one in stock!

A new Claire Saffitz dessert book is always something to look forward to!

A beloved chef shares 100 recipes from all seven regions of Mexico. The photos are not only mouthwatering but also burst with color.

Explore UT Campus on a Historic Walking Tour

ARTICLE BY JACKY NEELY AND PAUL JAMES

The Knoxville History Project (KHP), an educational nonprofit with a mission to research, preserve, and promote the history and culture of Knoxville, helps residents and visitors understand the city’s past and its complicated but dynamic heritage.

This University of Tennessee tour (download it to a tablet or a phone or print it out) starts on the Hill, the oldest section of campus, including iconic Ayres Hall, South College (UT’s oldest building), and Alumni Hall with its fascinating history of performers. Down from the Hill, a walk up Cumberland Avenue from 11th Street and south along Volunteer Boulevard takes in a series of remarkable buildings, including Hoskins Library with its castellated tower; the old Cowan mansion “Gardener’s Cottage”; the unusual remnants of Sophronia Strong Hall; the modern “Ziggurat” that is Hodges Library; the Victorian Tyson House; as well as a series of statues, including “Europa and the Bull,” and the ever-present “Volunteer” at Circle Park. A roundup of sports and entertainment sites, incorporates Neyland Stadium, Thompson Boling Arena, Clarence Brown Theatre, and the Pat Head Summitt memorial statue to name just a few. An optional leg takes in the soccer and softball stadiums off Neyland Drive before culminating (after a short drive or bike ride), over on the Agricultural campus with grand Morgan Hall, the enigmatic UT Indian Mound, and charming UT Gardens.

Here are four standouts from the tour: Although Ayres Hall has been called Collegiate Gothic, a phrase perhaps suggested by its stone arches and actual gargoyles, architecture students are quick to insist that its perfect symmetry makes it more akin to Elizabethan Revival.

The checkerboard design on its bell tower was reputedly the inspiration for Neyland Stadium’s checkerboard end zone. Although part of the original design, the clock was not added until the 21st century. Ayres Hall is named after Dr. Brown Ayres (1856-1919), a former Tulane professor and scientist who in a 1902 academic demonstration introduced radio technology to Knoxville, and who became president of UT in 1904.

UT Volunteer Statue Completed in 1931, Hoskins Library on Cumberland Avenue was originally intended to be a much grander building.

Architect George Barber’s original designs were curtailed by the Great Depression.

Still, it has sufficient grandeur, with cathedral windows on the eastern face and gargoyle-like concrete ornaments.

Inside, its grand stone staircase and high ceilings make it one of the most picturesque historical interiors in Knoxville.

Artist Hugh Tyler, known as Uncle Andrew in James Agee’s Pulitzer-winning novel, A Death in the Family, created the unusual wall painting. Its tower once held a small art museum. Hoskins remained UT’s main library for about 40 years.

The Volunteer (aka “the Torchbearer”) has stood at the entrance to Circle Park since 1968; its flame has rarely been extinguished in more than half a century. Its origin dates back to 1931 when UT hosted an international design competition to create an inspiring symbol for campus.

The winning design was never realized but a modified design was resurrected in the late 1960s. It has become a traditional starting point for the pre-game Vol Walk.

Circle Park, as a small suburban park, became a popular streetcar destination for picnics and baseball games, and a fashionable address for large Victorian homes in the 1890s, before being incorporated into UT campus in the 1960s.

UT is a rare campus to feature a prehistoric mound, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Although examined by anthropologists, who believe it to be well over 1,000 years old, relatively little is known about the Woodland Indians who built it, including whether they ever lived in the immediate area. Just south of the mound, a serpentine path winds through the Native American

Interpretive Garden featuring a variety of indigenous plants known and used by the Cherokee, for medicine, food, and other purposes. Nearby, the UT Gardens, which evolved over a period of decades, from what was originally known, perhaps as early as 1869, as the Agricultural College Farm, is also a must-see spot on campus.

THANKFULNESS

40

M ON E Y M AT T E R S | FINANCE + LE GAL S E RVI CE S

Food. Decorations. Quality Time. These are commonly some of the most enjoyable aspects of seeing friends and family during the holiday season. Whether you enjoy cooking Thanksgiving dinner, buying gifts for the grandchildren, or watching your favorite football team, the upcoming months are often full of memorable events that never seem to last long enough!

However, some individuals find the holiday season to be stressful or lonely. Some struggle with the reality of not spending time with family or worry that their financial plan cannot support their holiday desires. Studies suggest that the holiday season, compared to other months of the year, often creates a higher number of stressors for most Americans.

Over the past few years, other research has shown that expressing gratitude, for both the big and small things, can help an individual experience a deeper level of happiness and a lower level of stress. Business managers who “thanked” their employees on a more consistent basis saw that these employees often worked harder, and couples who expressed gratitude for their partner reported having more positivity in their relationship. While in high school, I had an assignment that instructed our class to journal about the small things we were thankful for. Yes, our instructor wanted us to focus on the small and often unnoticed pleasures

we took for granted and make a list that would act as a future reminder.

I spent the following weeks analyzing my interactions, my time at school, my time at home, and the mundane events that connected these together. My list grew, and then shrunk, and then grew again. However, at the end of my time, I felt happy about the result.

I would like to share some of the things I was grateful for: • The power of teamwork and communication • The intricacies and magnitude of our solar system • The intellect of people who created the internet, medicine, and buildings • How a well-timed joke made my day After completing this list, I found a deeper sense of gratitude and found joy in the idea that an appreciation of these seemingly small things could happen at any moment. Maybe, during this article or at a time earlier this week, you had a moment of appreciation for a small pleasure. Your list will likely be different from your spouse or grandchild – and that is what makes each person unique!

At PYA Waltman, we understand that no individual, family, or financial situation is the exact same. Our team celebrates the idea that everyone has a different list of priorities, whether it be financial or not, and that a financial plan is unique to each person. So, as the holiday season approaches and you focus on giving, saving, or spending, I would encourage you to make your own list and never pass up on the opportunity to express some things you are grateful for! No matter how big or small.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES

Your Autumn Dinner Party Is Served Catering experts Chef Kyle and Hannah Williams, owners of Savor & Swirl culinary company, create an outdoor dinner party with chef-driven perennial dishes served in beautiful seasonal settings.

For this alfresco Autumn Dinner Party, Chef Kyle draws on favorite fall recipes updated for a modern palate and paired with wine selections to complement the bountiful feast. Hannah creates an iconic autumn ambiance using artisanal table settings and mixed flannels for each guest to blanket any chill on a brisk evening. Whether for Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving or a new November tradition, it’s time to get outdoors again surrounded in sweater-weather coziness while sharing bites and clinks with family and friends.

“Thin k f l an n el bl an k ets , woo d e n t a bl es , f ire pit s , o pe n g r ill s , st r ing light s an d can dl es to c reat e a really cool e nv iron m e nt you h ave n’t bee n a bl e to d o all s u m m e r.”

H OST IN G T IP S | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

Insider Tips for Hosting:

• Build a menu around the season. “In November, people crave turkey, sage stuffing and cranberry sauce,” Chef Kyle says. “Autumn dinners mean bigger-course meals with varied proteins, like turkey, duck and sirloin, hearty starches, and good fall produce, especially root vegetables such as butternut squash and pumpkin.”

• Always greet guests with a beverage and appetizers. “Offer champagne for wine-lovers or a sparkling drink or signature cocktail.

It’s all about serving guests to the highest caliber,” Kyle says.

• Draw inspiration from the season’s changing colors, cooler temps and lower humidity to move back outdoors. “Think flannel blankets, wooden tables, fire pits, open grills, string lights and candles to create a really cool environment you haven’t been able to do all summer.”

• “You can’t go wrong with fresh flowers,” Hannah says, “but keep bouquets low to not interfere with conversation flowing. For fall, I like richer, jewel-toned florals to mix and match and keep whimsical. I vary glass vases with burnished brass for warm fall vibes.”

• An easy but thoughtful detail is to put a simple menu at each place setting, so guests know what to expect. “Add a pen, so guests can jot tasting notes, especially for wine pairings or multiple courses,” Hannah says. “Guests can share comments, then take the menu home as a sweet reminder of the event.”

• Follow the French principle of mise en place or everything in place before your event. “This is actually our company’s name,” Kyle says. “It’s that important to us. Make sure the wines are all open, cocktails are pre-made, place settings are out, candles are lit and music is playing. When guests arrive, it gives that wow-factor and shows you intentionally made them feel special.”

• To build confidence as a host, start small and practice. “Keep the menu and guest list small,” Kyle says. “Choose recipes you already have confidence in. If you make a great Beef Stroganoff, then go with that. People will love it!”

• As fun as it is to dine outside, always have an indoors back-up plan. “We’ve had to bring it indoors before,” Hannah says. “It’s still fun.”

Wine Pairing

According to Savor & Swirl, wine pairing doesn’t need to be overly complicated for a casual outdoor dinner party. Have a lighter and fuller body style of white and red available with some sparkling thrown in.

“Lighter to medium-bodied wines from Rhône Valley, Italy or California would be a good place to start,” they state. “Viognier is one of our favorite wines that goes great with fall-inspired cuisines. Pinot Noir wine goes great with just about any food. Lean towards California or Willamette Valley for a new-world style and go with France for a more earthy, old-world style. A big bold Napa Cab would fall in perfectly for the grilled ribeye steak! Cheers!”

WALNUT

Old Fashioned An Old Fashioned is a classic cocktail that appeals to whiskey lovers. Made with whiskey or rye, sugar, bitters, cherry (Luxardo preferably), and often garnished with orange peel. Some muddle a sugar cube with bitters and a bit of club soda or water in the bottom of a rock glass.

Some use simple syrup. And others do not use simple syrup or sugar at all, like The Walnut Kitchen in Maryville, Tennessee. Instead, they use Praline Bitters for sweetness. Their Walnut Old Fashioned has become a customer favorite and a staple of the drink menu.

INGREDIENTS Bourbon, Black Walnut Bitters, Praline Liqueur, Luxardo Cherries, Orange.
