KIDS LOVE DAD’S SWEETS: Herb Scott, long-time professional chef and caterer, has just opened Herb Scott’s Catering at 6531 Germantown Ave. in Mt. Airy. Scott has catered countless corporate and gala fundraising events over the years, but he has just begun creating his own from-scratch desserts. That’s because his children — Lily, 6, a student at Faith Tabernacle School; Royal, 4, and Ian, 2 (all seen here) — “inspired us to start baking because they always ask if they can work in the kitchen to make beautiful foods. And because Lily believes I am ‘a great chef.’” For more information, call 215-842-1609 or visit www.herbscott.com.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS? “No, we don’t. If we did, they would be on the table. But we’re continuing to bring things out so there might be some later.” Wyn Furman, Eisenhower family moving yard sale.
