Friendly competition on the diamond isn't the same on Zoom
While many of the National Press Club's routine activities have been adjusted to a virtual format, one seasonal activity just can't make that transition: the Club's softball team. Montgomery County has shut down its team recreational activities to control the spread of COVID-19, including all sports leagues.

Spanakopita: The luscious Greek classic that made Popeye love to eat spinach
Spanakopita Sometimes just a few ingredients can produce something very special. Some weeks ago, I chronicled a spinach casserole that I urged be part of a regular repertoire. The following spinach pie is a variation on that theme, but takes the concept to a new level by veiling the spinach mixture in a crusty, flaky phyllo crust. Dill plays a major flavor role in this orchestration, so it always tastes like spring.

Not planning to grill meat this holiday weekend? Try this vegan moussaka recipe
With travails at meat packing plants in the news, one might envy the vegan who is divorced from all such considerations. The following recipe is a vegan casserole and unusual, filling and unique due to North African spices rather than the expected Greek oregano slant. There are terrific Greek Moussaka recipes that generally incorporate eggplant and ground beef or lamb, but this is an unrelated variation on a theme.
