| Hereford Road needs a new direction
Life was simpler then, or so it's said, and so was the food. You didn't have to be rich to eat well, and the pollution of the food chain by the innovations that brought us joys such as BSE had not yet started. Maybe it's this memory that is driving the fightback against bad food, and the entire food industry has to respond, including restaurateurs. More and more chefs are embracing seasonal foodstuffs and changing their dishes according to what's for sale at the market, and not what can be rummaged from the freezer or bought from the factory. So it was with nostalgic excitement that I set off for Hereford Road - which claims to be bringing simple British cuisine back to the menu - and hoping that its cooking was more imaginative than its name. I can't understand the current fashion for naming restaurants after roads.
Hax: Don't beat around the relationship bush
Carolyn: My very good male friend was retelling some troubling stories to me about his fiancee's behavior toward his family. My friend says she's become increasingly paranoid and resentful toward them for no logical reason (swearing that they "hate" her and refusing contact), and the episodes he was recounting reflected that.This isn't the first red flag I've seen in the years they've been together. I (timidly) asked my friend whether they were considering premarital counseling, adding that it's not a big deal, and that even my husband and I did it.He reacted, uh, pretty defensively and tried to bring my marriage into it. Was I wrong to suggest they get counseling?AnonymousIrrationality and in-laws have a causal connection both long and glorious, but this sounds like more than just one side getting a head start.

Ex-choir director's wife files for divorce
A former church youth choir director facing charges in an ongoing case of sexual misconduct with a minor appeared in court on Monday, just days after his wife filed for divorce. Nathan St. Pierre, 25, is accused of having a sexual relationship with a now 15-year-old girl who was a member of the church where he worked, Washington Avenue Baptist Church. The girl was reportedly 14 when the alleged relationship began. .
