Fare Exchange: What should you cook for Riverbend?

Dear readers, welcome. Orange-olive-oil brownies and long-lasting Riverbend fare are the interesting requests that begin today’s discussion.

The latter is time-sensitive, so if you have an answer to the Riverbend request, please rush it back to me and I will get it to the requester, Barbara Walker.

“I am having a Riverbend party,” she wrote, “to begin at 8 p.m. We will stay to watch fireworks. What are some things to have that will withstand the heat and time?”

Although this is a Riverbend-specific request, it works for all the picnics of summer.

Secondly, Terry J. of Ooltewah read the recent orange brownie recipe.
