Looking to make a crowd pleasing dessert for your next gathering? Look no further. This easy to make trifle is sure to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth.
"It would be spiteful to put a Jellyfish in a trifle." ~Karl Pilkington I love my trifle bowl but don't often get to use it, so I typically offer to make a dessert when invited to a party. So when Mother's Day rolled around last weekend I knew I would have to make a trifle. The trifle I make is some combination of cake, chocolate, crushed candy bar and whipped cream but I wanted to try something a little different. I stumbled upon a recipe that used the standard cake and candy but to add a new note of flavor instant coffee was added to the mix. The grocery store had hazelnut instant coffee on sale so I chose that instead of regular, substitued vanilla pudding for chocolate and in lieu of yellow cake I bought pound cake. I'm sure my trifle …
The charm of a 1950s home with many of the modern features buyers are looking for.
While this Chickering Road home dates back to the 1950s, it sports modern features that many prospective buyers are in the market for: granite kitchen countertops, new windows and a new roof, central air conditioning and original hardwood. The hardwood on the second floor, which has four bedrooms, is underneath carpet, but is ready to be rediscovered. The home starts with an eat-in kitchen and an adjacent dining room with a built-in China cabinet. A three-season porch comes off the dining room and overlooks a beautiful backyard full of lush green grass and mature trees that give privacy and shade. Hardwood moldings and door frames beautify the first floor, which also has a living room with a large window in the front of the house. It …

Herbs Provide Both Flavor and Aroma to Garden and the Kitchen
Herbs can add so much depth to a dish, but those bunches from the grocery store never seem to last long and though not expensive individually, those figures do add up. Wouldn't it be great this summer to read a recipe, note the ingredients, and head out to the garden to freshly snip those flavorful elements? Herb gardening can be a resourceful tool for the kitchen as well as a lovely enhancement to any vegetable or flowering garden. A surprising fact about herbs is that they can be planted as perennials or annuals. With that in mind, don’t plant perennial herbs in the middle of a vegetable garden. Place them in a protected space or bed near the house. For annual herbs, they benefit from the rich soils and sun provided with vegetable …
Little Bear is available for adoption at the Animal Rescue League of Boston's Dedham shelter.
Hi, my name is Little Bear! I'm an energetic playful little guy looking for a new home with someone who can help me work on some issues. Currently, I'm living at the Animal Rescue League of Boston's Dedham shelter. I've got a fun personality and I love to fetch. I am a pro-fetcher and will drop the ball right at you feet. I am a busy boy at home and am not planning to be a couch potato - I like to be on the go! The more exercise I have, the less I'm going to be inclined to find things to entertain myself. As a Pomeranian mix, I have a thick coat that will require regular brushing to keep it in tip top shape as well as professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. I am a talkative boy, and I'll let you know if someone is coming to the house, or …

The votes are in for this week's Best of Readers' Choice poll.
The winner is in for where you think the best place to get a scoop of ice cream in the Dedham area. And, after the comments and votes have been counted, the winner is ... Ron's Gourmet Ice Cream! This Dedham Square favorite garnered 55 of the 84 votes cast in this week's poll. Ron's makes their own ice cream out of a bowling alley in Hyde Park, and delivers it quickly to Dedham for some of the freshest ice cream around. Ron's, open now for about 13 years, serves up creative flavors - they sold pumpkin ice cream last year - and the classics. Bubbling Brook in Westwood came in second place with 19 percent of the vote total. Did you eat at Ron's recently? Review it in our Patch Places directory!

The committee voted to reverse a previous vote to approve a new student conduct policy.
The Dedham School Committee unanimously voted Wednesday to rescind a vote it took in March that called for changes in how the school department works with police on disciplining students. "We had to bring it back first, now we can move it forward," School Committee chairman Mayanne Briggs said. The original policy called for 12-month enforcement, as opposed to 10 months in the current plan, and for the policy to apply to students as young as sixth grade. The current policy only applies to Dedham High School students. Committee members voted to break up the discipline for a student caught in the possession of drugs or alcohol and for a student caught in the presence of either. The current policy doesn't make that distinction. But when …

This five ingredient pasta salad is an easy weeknight side, perfect if you're grilling!
So much to do, so little time. That’s been the theme during these busy months. I’m continuously opening my new five ingredient cookbook to dig up some fresh and fast recipes to revive the usual recipe repertoire. We’ve been firing up the grill at dinner, tossing on burgers, dogs or grilled chicken for a quick and easy dinner before or after evening activities, but even this early in the season you can overdo the grill if you’re counting on it night after night. However, if you’ve got a fun new side to try, it makes the usual grill fare a little more exciting. This five ingredient pasta salad caught my eye. With five easy to find ingredients, it’s fast and easy and it’s also a great vegetarian lunch or light dinner. You can toss this …
