Things To Do: February
This month, celebrate Mardi Gras, attend wine- and beer-pairing dinners and judge chili cook-offs across Alabama.
What's In Season: February
February is the month for pecans, grouper and quail in Alabama. The in-season edibles are scarce during the winter, so pop open your jars of canned produce from seasons past or bags of frozen fruits and veggies to bulk up meals. Look for these at your local farmers market, fish monger or U-Pick.
