The holiday season already? How is this<br />
possible? It was just yesterday that<br />
we were releasing our premiere<br />
issue! Well, it has certainly been<br />
our pleasure bringing you Fine<br />
Living Lancaster for this, our first<br />
year. As we bring to you our holiday<br />
issue, we want to say thank you for the warm<br />
and welcoming reception that we have received<br />
from our readers. We have been overwhelmed<br />
by your comments and accolades, and we can think<br />
of no better way to thank you than to bring you another issue<br />
filled with more of the fine things in Lancaster life... so off we go!<br />
From the cover is Haute Holiday, featuring the winners of our Fashion<br />
Plate contest including our cover model Jenna Collins. Surely you have<br />
already noticed the nearly six carat diamond ring Jenna is sporting. Yes, it<br />
is real, and it is waiting for you right now at Warren Jewellers! All of the<br />
fabulous ladies (and a great story on how one of them came to be an <strong>FLL</strong><br />
model) await you draped in holiday finery beginning on page twenty two.<br />
In this issue we are exited to introduce two brand new features. First, for<br />
the culinary curious we debut Signature Dish. In this ongoing feature we<br />
will be bringing together two minds, an <strong>FLL</strong> reader<br />
with a passion for food and a restaurateur with a<br />
desire for innovation. We will put them together for<br />
conversation and creation, and the result will<br />
be a dish culled from the meeting of these<br />
minds – a dish inspired by the connection, a<br />
Fine Living Lancaster Signature Dish. You will<br />
be an insider to the creation of the dish, and<br />
the very best part? You can enjoy the fruits of<br />
their collaboration as the restaurant will feature<br />
the dish on their menu for at least ninety days!<br />
For the commencement of Signature Dish,<br />
we connected two people with the same<br />
first name. But, this commonality was not the<br />
reason we connected them. Find out the real<br />
connection between these two people on<br />
page forty two. Fair warning though, be sure<br />
you have your phone with you as you read,<br />
we are confident that you will be calling for a<br />
reservation to sample this new epicurean delight<br />
as soon as you finish reading.<br />
Another debut this issue is My Lancaster.<br />
We are opening our pages to the thoughts<br />
of individuals that love not just Lancaster in<br />
general, but a specific area in particular. We start<br />
this new feature with the musings of Bill Puffer<br />
and Nancy Morris. Both of these names have<br />
been synonymous with Downtown Lancaster<br />
for a very long time. They live there; they work<br />
there, and they play there, so who else could<br />
better express a passion for our Downtown?<br />
My Lancaster debuts on page sixteen.<br />
Of course your favorites are back; you will get<br />
acquainted with one of the bright and shining<br />
lights of the Fulton Theater in Meet on page<br />
four. And you will get an insight on the Bed<br />
& Breakfast game from Harry Jefferies in Live<br />
on page forty six. On page thirty one, Find<br />
Bernard’s at Brighton where you can enjoy a<br />
day of rejuvenation before the holidays begin in<br />
From the Editor:<br />
earnest. Meet The Chef returns on page eighteen with Micah Webster<br />
of Molly’s Pub. Micah is a gregarious and animated fellow with a viewpoint<br />
on dining out that will be sure to have you adding Molly’s to your dining<br />
out list.<br />
Speaking of the holidays, we had to make sure you were prepared for<br />
the gift giving with the very finest choices for everyone on your list. Maia<br />
Cargas did all of your legwork for you, and the perfect gift for everyone<br />
is ready for your discovery on page thirty two. And while fine gifts are<br />
certainly a part of the season, fine memories are gifts that are truly<br />
priceless. We were fortunate to have collected some holiday memories<br />
from a diverse group of Lancastrians in the Best Christmas Ever beginning<br />
on page forty eight.<br />
And, as we look to think of others that could use a helping hand not just<br />
during the holidays, but every day, we are pleased to bring you the return<br />
of Give. We invited Renee Valentine of Milagro House to bring us the<br />
story of this wonderful place doing good works every day. Truly this house<br />
is a very, very fine house.<br />
All this and much more await you just ahead. We invite you to pour a<br />
glass of eggnog, turn the page and enjoy this issue as much as we enjoyed<br />
bringing it to you. We wish you a fine holiday season, and we look forward<br />
to seeing you in 2008! <strong>FLL</strong><br />
