Concern for food safety

While they may look like easy gifts to give, you don't want to give the gift of foodborne illness. Bread or cakes baked in canning jars, then applying the lid, can create a low-oxygen environment. This, combined with baked goods high in moisture and low in acid, can support the growth of C. botulinum.

Rockdale’s Downtown Winter Wonderland

Rodney and Jocelyn Lewis put the final touches on Rockdale’s downtown district over the weekend by hanging the traditional candlestick lights on the light poles. New light poles will be installed in March of next year as part of the TxDOT project, and new decorations have been ordered that will fit on the new poles. Take a drive downtown in the evening to see it decorated for the first time in three years. Many thanks to the Rockdale Downtown Association and many others who made Light Up Rockdale happen this year. Reporter photos by Kyle Cooke
