The 6th annual Mystic Film Festival is back in Stonington, Connecticut! The annual festival was created to support, promote and honor independent Connecticut and New England film makers. The festival runs from October 19, 20, 21, and 22, 2023. According to the Master Class website "An indie film is any feature-length or short film that is made without a major studio or big production company attached. Indie filmmaking is often low-budget, which in the film industry can mean anywhere from a few thousand dollars (“micro-budget”) to a few million."
The 2023 Mystic Film Festival is a 4-day event showcasing independent feature length films, short form films, and documentaries from all over the world. "The festival brings together a diverse group of filmmakers and audiences to explore ideas, discuss the filmmaking process, and celebrate creativity. Through engaging community events, industry panels, and film screenings by acclaimed and up-and-coming talent, we aim to make the festival a special experience for filmmakers and audiences alike. Now celebrating its sixth year, the festival will take place October 19 - 22, 2023 at venues in Mystic, Connecticut and neighboring shoreline towns. Our cornerstone venue is Mystic Luxury Cinemas in Olde Mistick Village. We open with a local premiere and close the festival with an awards event where the best film in each category is recognized."
"Our screenplay competition is now entering its fourth year and has been a great success so far. We're excited to continue to offer this and expand our relationships with key partners in the screenwriting industry. The top winners of the screenplay competition will be announced at the festival in October. Our festival was created by area filmmakers and artists to nurture local talent, to promote films made in Connecticut and New England, and to bring unique films to our community."

It's Fall Y'all! Everyone from Connecticut knows this is the perfect time for apple picking and even better, apple desserts. So, when you think of Apple Crisp what do you think of? I know the tastiest Apple Crisp features a brown sugar sweetness, delicious apples, and a crumbly topping! If you are wondering, where does Apple Crisp come from, the original crisp recipe was invented in Great Britain and first published in a cookbook in 1924. According to Wikipedia, this dessert became even more popular during World War II when food rationing made it difficult to find ingredients for the more elaborate apple pie. Apple crumble is a British pudding similar to the modern apple crisp. The crumble topping is made of butter, flour, and brown sugar rolled together so that it resembles breadcrumbs.

If you are a fan of New Haven-Style ''Apizza'' then you are going to love this recipe! We all know Connecticut is known for its pizza and this recipe for Focaccia is an easy version of a homestyle New Haven Pizza. This is one of my favorite recipes from Chef Giada De Laurentiis and it's called Focaccia di Recco! It truly reminds me of my family in Italy. This recipe is probably very different from what you know as traditional Italian Focaccia bread. ''In Ancient Rome, panis focacius was a flat bread baked on the hearth. The word is derived from the Latin focus 'hearth, a place for baking'. The first attestation of the word focaccia dates back to the 14th century. Focaccia is sometimes considered to be a variant of pizza in publications outside Italy, although focaccia is left to rise after being flattened, while pizza is baked immediately,'' according to Wikipedia.

If you grew up in Connecticut, then you know that the ''Nutmeg State's'' favorite pie is Pumpkin Pie. According to the Connecticut state library, ''it got the name because, in the state’s early days, Southern customers would buy nutmegs without knowing they had to grate them and would say the Connecticut Yankees sold them wooden nutmegs. Another theory is that “early inhabitants had the reputation of being so ingenious and shrewd that they were able to make and sell wooden nutmegs,” which is a lot less flattering. Regardless, the nutmeg connection makes Connecticut a natural fit for pumpkin pie. According to some, it should get even more specific with maple (another classic New England ingredient), pumpkin, nutmeg, and pecan streusel. Pumpkin is Connecticut’s official state pie, and we take that love of pumpkin to a new level with the maple pumpkin with pecan streusel,” says Stephen Jarrett, manager of Michele’s Pies. It’s made with New England maple syrup, Connecticut pumpkins, nutmeg, and pecan streusel, “which captures the flavors and feelings of autumn that Connecticuters know best,” according to The Matador Network website.

In 1993, the Winton's daughter, Susan and her family reopened in the White Hills of Shelton under the name of Oronoque Farms. In 2004, new owners have moved in to carry on the Winton family traditions of their homemade pies and baked goods.
