Bainbridge-based rhythm-and-blues band Out of Order will return to the Treehouse Café to play at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17.
Admission to this 21-and-older only show is by donation.
Out of Order features vocalist Betsy Peabody, guitarists Mark Schneider and PJ McEwan, and Greg “Hot Sauce” Stevenson on harmonica. The combination of veteran bassist Rich McAllister and master drummer Chip Goodhue anchors the band and gives a rocking foundation and pulse to every tune.
The band plays music to sing and dance to — think Creedence Clearwater Revival, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye and Wilson Pickett, with some Johnny Cash and Elvis thrown in — at different venues throughout Seattle and Puget Sound.

Seattle author Jill Lightner will talk about her new cookbook, “Scraps, Peels, and Stems: Recipes and Tips for Rethinking Food Waste at Home,” this weekend on Bainbridge Island.
Lightner will visit Eagle Harbor Book Company on Winlsow Way at 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18.
All across the country, food processors, grocers, restaurants, and regular folks throw away perfectly edible food. In fact, every month reportedly nearly 20 pounds of food per person is thrown out in the United States, and average consumers are the worst offenders.
However, the good news is that it’s easy to reduce waste while saving money and eating healthier, too.
“Scraps, Peels, and Stems” is a comprehensive and accessible guide to how you can reduce food waste in your daily life. Lightner, a food journalist, shows how to manage your kitchen for less waste through practical strategies, tips and advice on food purchasing, prep, composting and storage.
From beef bones, Parmesan rinds, and broccoli stems to bruised apples and party leftovers, she explains what to do with unused food, and how to avoid the extras in the first place.
