Florida Culture for the Week of August 12 by Josh Garrick

 

Now through August 19 -- Breakthrough Theatre’s CABARET

We have one more week to enjoy Justin Scarlat’s incredibly successful directing debut with CABARET at The Breakthrough Theater of Winter Park and the standing-ovation performances by Matty Hixon as the Emcee and Dorothy Massey as Sally Bowles. It’s another not-to-be-missed production by the always resourceful gang of talent at Breakthrough Theater. For reservations call 407-920-4034

 

Being part of a punk band, acting the part of a country singer in a television series, and scoring a number one UK pop chart hit: those are all part of singer and songwriter Eddi Reader’s resume. She’s also brought the music of Scotland’s national poet Robert Burns to the symphony and to stages at folk festivals and clubs.

My sister and I both like to make desserts, and we both have a love for anything chocolate. So, we got together and made up this recipe from two of our favorite desserts combined into one delicious cookie.
