To the Editor: There’s been much clearing and building on the Vineyard Haven–Edgartown Road in the past few years. I’m concerned, however, about the relatively recent leveling of trees and brush and the mountains of accumulating dirt that’s going on off Great Rock Road. Gravel is now being dumped there as well.

One is to make my corn pudding in a deep casserole dish, instead of the shallow one I have always used. We were a small group this year, so I made half the recipe in a soufflé dish. It was my best ever. Expect the new version at the town party that’s…

My daughter came for a few days to share the feast prepared by the Black Dog Café. She also helped with a few chores, including helping me to sort through a couple of piles…
