A huge thank you for the fella who saw me trying to balance a large box, purse, and mail to go into the post office. He stepped right up and, with permission, took the box in and placed it on the counter. It made my day....
My household is extremely lucky in that it hasn’t felt much of an economic impact from this whole mess. My mom is teleworking overtime, my brother’s job at a ski shop wasn’t going to be netting him very many hours in April under the best of circumstances, and I’m still an unemployed bum. But I know that many workers—indeed, industries—haven’t been as fortunate. To my readers who have taken an economic hit from COVID-19, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and please don’t hesitate to g...
We finally finished unpacking all of Daniel's books (all 30 boxes of them), and his totes full of kitchen equipment, including a vast amount and variety of spices and a treasure trove of chemicals. The majority of the bottles, packages and tools are foreign to me. He looked at me with his usual one eyebrow raised show of disdain as I rolled my eyes at the jars and packets we were moving into the pantry. But I admit, I'm becoming a believer. He has become extraordinarily accomplished in the...
I've concluded that there are really just two types of dogs - those who like playing with balls, and those who do not. From the first day we spent together, me tossing and Cookie chasing a ball across an empty infield in a deserted park, it was clear that she was a ball dog. Up until then my only ball dog experience was with a big-boned mutt that lived a couple doors up from our home on Palm Avenue in West Seattle. The short and narrow street sloped downhill from there, ending in a small park...
While 2020 certainly has been off to a rocky start complete with a major flood and pandemic, I seek solace in the promise of another spring and the simple joys of harvesting my own food helps to keep me steady. After a chilly early March, I'm thrilled to see the apricot tree has started to bloom, the rhubarb is poking through the soil and the spinach is germinating in the raised beds. I've sown an inordinate amount of seeds in my basement under grow lights and have dragged my husband into...
Chef Daniel Rossi is sharing this easy recipe with the Times Readers, claiming it’s “the easiest bread in the world to make.” Most folks should have these pantry items available—give it a try! Waitsburg Country Bread INGREDIENTS: 4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 cup rye flour (or use an additional cup of all-purpose flour as a substitute) 3 tsp salt 2 tsp instant yeast or 3 tsp dry yeast (1 packet) 2 1/2 cup water at 100F Flour as needed for dusting Set the oven at 450°F DIRECTIO...
Ten Years Ago April 14, 2011 Give Bart Baxter and Tiffany Laposi a few months to work on the Whetstone Pub building and you’ll be able to dine with James Dean. By summer, he may well be giving you his cool gaze from the wall of the couple’s 1950s style restaurant that will be called “Betty’s Diner.” [Photo caption] Motocross racers put on a show during the annual Bash at Ski Bluewood Sunday, marking the resort’s last day of the skiing season that was the first for its new owners. Inserted in this week’s edition of the Times, you will find som...
Here is something fun to make and can include the help of kids. Perhaps get some pretty pastel or Easter plates and gift them (with maybe a colored Easter bunny?) Another simple idea, and I usually do it at Easter, is to make 2 round cakes. One round cake is for the bunny face, the other has two simple cuts to make the ears, and tie for the bunny. Kids love to decorate it with colored frosting or colored coconut, add eyes and nose. Like the chocolate bunnies, the ears usually get eaten first. INGREDIENTS: 2 c. white sugar 1/3 c. cocoa powder &f...

Ten Years Ago April 7, 2011 What’s the Point? Cardinal pierced by javelin wonders why Oregon still allows use of dangerous steel-tipped spears. Preliminary election results for Waitsburg’s city government show incumbent Mayor Walt Gobel and the current five city council members returned to office by a landslide. With 357 votes cast, Gobel obtained 276 votes compared to challenger Bart Baxter’s 64 votes.

I thought and I thought and I thought in vain, at least I thought I'd write my name. It was one of the quotes from my 6th grade autograph book. That's how I felt trying to decide which recipe to put in. This one was in the category in the Allrecipes.com section called Quarantine Recipes. The idea is to be able to use what you have in the freezer or pantry. Isn't that what we do anyway? They also had included about 15 recipes because they took quite a bit of time, but they were all breads and...
SECLUSION-As our time apart stretches on seemingly indefinitely, the importance of alternative forms of communication rises. Fortunately, there's a heap of technology at the ready. Unfortunately, deciding which method of digital communications can be a tangled web. Some decisions may be easily dictated by the device used to access it. For example, if you're using Android devices, Facetime will not be a video conferencing solution in your arsenal. The vast majority of popular options cater to...

Ten Years Ago March 31, 2011 Sheriff John Turner doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. The Walla Walla County’s new top law-enforcement official is thrilled he can make adjustments to the patrol schedule that provides 24/7 coverage is his jurisdiction. He’s pleased some members of his new team bring many years of law enforcement experience they can use to offer in-house training to his deputies. At the same time, Turner is deeply concerned that his budget is being cut. [Photo caption] Leroy Cunningham, founder of Rural Green Youth Enter...
I wasn't sure what I was going to put in this week. Needless to say we could use some comfort food and this falls into that category. I have fond memories of bread pudding. Gramma Yonkie made it often and it was mentioned by several at her funeral. She saved any old cookies, dry donuts, stale bread, and it would go into the bread pudding. Always there was cinnamon and raisins, but each one took on a different flavor. I haven't made it yet, but I think I will buy some French bread, cut it thick,...

Ten Years Ago March 24, 2011 During the past several years, all has been relatively quiet on the meth front. But in recent months, it appears that local production and consumption of the drug are back on the rise, according to law enforcement officials in Walla Walla and Columbia counties. It was like a scene from the Sherwood Forest. Men, women, and children tromped through the woods carrying bows and quivers filled with arrows, but this wasn’t Robin Hood and his band, nor was it Merry Auld England in the 12th century. [Photo caption] T...
If this sounds familiar, I shared it a few years ago. It was what came to mind Saturday morning while looking at the bright snow outside. Weekend mornings have more time to fuss with breakfast, or maybe your breakfast comes later in the day. These are hardy, flavorful pancakes. The cardamom gives it an extra touch. If you don't have any and would like to try the recipe, let me know. I have plenty. Peanut butter or no peanut butter? I didn't realize that pancakes could be controversial! Of...
