Market, Mildred Council of Mama Dip’s Kitchen and Keith Allen of Allen & Son Barbecue
have been honored with the Tabasco Guardians of the Tra-dition award by the Southern Foodways Alliance.
The award is presented at each Southern Foodways Al-liance field trip to individuals who represent the “founda-tions of American cuisine in general and Southern cuisine in particular” — most recently to these local recipients at the Camp Carolina event held last weekend at locations through-out the area. Each was pre-sented with a special award de-signed by artist and MacArthur Grant recipient John T. Scott.
Recycling site closingThe 24-hour recycling drop-
off site adjacent to the county’s animal shelter will close perma-nently on September 30.
The site, which is located on Municipal Drive off Mar-tin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, is on property owned by UNC that’s being redeveloped for the new Carolina North campus.
The site is the oldest public recycling site in Orange Coun-ty and has been used since Boy Scout Troup 39 started its recy-cling program in 1970.
Residents are encouraged to use the recycling site at Ce-dar Falls Park on Weaver Dairy Road as the animal shelter recy-cling site prepares to close. For more information or a list of other recycling sites, visit www.co.orange.nc.us/recycling.

ProcedurePosition a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450°.Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush the eggplant slices with olive oil and bake until they are golden brown and tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and use a spatula to loosen the eggplant slices from the foil. Set aside.Reduce the oven temperature to 400°.Combine the bread, anchovies, parsley, capers, garlic, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add 1/4 cup of olive oil and pulse to form coarse crumbs.Sprinkle the feta over the eggplant and top with the sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and pep-per. Scatter the crumbs over the tomatoes. Return the pan to the upper third of the oven and bake until the top of the gratin is browned and crisp, about 50 minutes.Let cool for 10 minutes and serve warm, al-though it’s also good at room temperature.

ORANGE COUNTY ANIMAL SERVICES — Cookie is absolutely the sweetest cat ever! She loves people and will reposition herself near you when you en-ter the room. She likes to curl up next to your feet and lounge. And she’s smart too! She will follow your hand and seems like she could easily be taught some fun tricks! Cookie has been in the shelter since early May and has watched lots of other cats be ad-opted since then. She’s been patiently waiting to find a home of her own. Do you have room for little Cookie? Stop by Orange County’s Animal Shelter, 1081 MLK Jr. Blvd, Chapel Hill, or call 967-7383. You can also see her online at www.co.orange.nc.us/ani-malservices/adoption.asp.
