Paige's Pantry

Paige started this in her parents' kitchen during quarantine when she was 20.

She's self-taught apart from a few lessons from a cousin who went to culinary school. She's also got a microbiology degree she never used.

For a while the whole operation ran out of that kitchen, and the plan was to have a real storefront one day. Now there's one in the antique village.

Custom cakes are still the main thing — weddings, showers, birthdays — but there's a case up front with croissants, brownies, cookies and cheesecake if you just want to walk in and grab something.

I still haven't been, which is starting to feel like an oversight.

But go check them out and tell them the Denham Springs Local sent you!

Every company you've ever given an email address to gets breached eventually. Insurance, the pharmacy, some site you signed up for in 2013 and forgot about.

That stuff gets bundled up and sold, and it's usually how the really convincing scam calls start. They already know your name and where you bank because somebody else lost it for you.

You can't undo a breach. But you can find out what's floating around with your name on it and get a heads up when something new turns up.

Here's what I'd do about it:

Tues 9/15, 5:30-6:30pm

Terry Kidd covering what worm castings are and how to use them in the garden. Ages 18+.

Fri 9/18, 6:30pm

A night for parents on how to help kids who are dealing with anxiety. Childcare provided.

Fri 9/18, 8pm

Wednesdays at 6:30pm
