Felting "acorns" using fluffy natural wool is a relaxing and enjoyable fall activity for all ages. It's especially suited for young children who like to get their hands in soapy water to shape and change the structure of the soft wool into dense felted wool balls. The material used for making the soft balls is called wool roving, available at some craft stores, yarn shops or online (resources below). It is wool that has been cleaned, combed and sometimes dyed. You'll discover that the lovely...
On Friday, October 11th, Whitman College’s Sheehan Gallery is pleased to present Karl Davis, the Executive Director of Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts, who will speak about the development of this world-class art studio at 5:30 p.m. Formed in 1992 by regional artists James Lavadour (Walla Walla) and Phillip Cash Cash (Cayuse and Nez Perce), Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts (CSIA) is located on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in the foothills of Oregon’s Blue Mou...
The holidays are approaching, and I was asked to offer some recipes for the holiday. I guess the first holiday approaching is Halloween. This is the easy one, the only thing you need is candy! So, on to the next holiday – Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday! It’s the 4 Fs; Food, Family, Friends and Football (which I still don’t like, but it’s a religion on Thanksgiving). It’s the holiday where there are no obligatory gifts. no religious connotations, just the big 4 and, as a born...
I thought I had put this recipe in before, but I don't see that I did. If you are still getting zucchini and thinking of ways to use it, then here is another zucchini bread recipe. I've made it and it is very good, without being overly sweet. It comes from the King Arthur Flour web site and since I am a "Facebook Friend", I get the recipes on Facebook. One of the descriptions is "its moist, dense and super chocolatey." INGREDIENTS: 2 large eggs 1/3 c. honey ½ c. vegetable oil ½ c. brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp salt...

I’m excited! I’m so glad I moved here! I grew up in New York, but I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 40+ years, so, it’s been a long time since I’ve experienced a real autumn. I’ve missed seeing the leaves turn color, the crisp air, sweaters, but mostly I miss the food. Stews, hearty pastas, root vegetables, and good red wines to go with it all. Wow, it’s time to have a party. I can find anything to celebrate, come over and watch a college football game, or pro football game (and I don’t even like football), a hockey game, it’s Halloween, Thanks...

There are several factors that contribute to the way an image looks in print. Digital images have the added bonus of illumination behind the image, defining edges and sharpening image quality by default. JPEG files compress their data to achieve a smaller, more portable file size. Likewise emailing images imposes upon them compressions that affect the quality. This compression is accomplished by discarding some of the data that comprises the image. Each time a JPEG is opened and re-saved in the...
First, I made the zucchini soup this weekend, adding potatoes like Wendy did. The crockpot was full. I added a lot of fresh tomatoes we needed to use up and added water, as the can of tomatoes didn't have a lot of juice. We also added, besides the sausage, a few bratwurst, cooked and frozen, into it. I got a late start so I had to put it all in a large soup pan on the stove top to finish. Very good and so good for you. This tuna recipe came to my email from Allrecipes.com. I like...

Many people are attached to their first baby blanket, and a surprising number of adults still possess it in parts or entirety. Generally, it's a quilt, fuzzy fleece, or knitted/crocheted heirloom. Artist Sandra Haynes possesses such an heirloom, but it's . . . different from the standard baby blanket. Haynes' childhood treasure is a bobcat hide, taken from an animal that her mother shot when it was raiding the family henhouse. "Being around wild animals has always been a part of my life,"...
Over the last few years I have not only learned an appreciation for short films, but I have come to love them. I am now a fan of Vimeo, a short film presentation venue (look it up!). I am constantly amazed at the ingenuity, creativity and risk involved in being able to tell a story in 10-20 minutes. Some great things come in very small packages. The Manhattan Short Film Festival is something folks have come to expect and anticipate at the Liberty Theater each year. This is an artistic showcase...
Enjoy the Games!...
I ran this recipe in 2017, but Julie B asked me for it again. A while ago, I accidently deleted my recipe file, then deleted my recycle bin file. I was able to find it in our Dropbox application, so score one for technology! I was going to make it for dinner, but we had to use up some chicken so I will make it later. Like most, we have an abundance of tomatoes to use plus a large gifted zucchini. Julie said the soup is very tasty and freezes well. We are on the downside of light dinners but not quite ready for heavy winter dinners. This soup...

Now that summer has dropped off into a very abrupt fall, it's time for warm cozy comfort foods, and more importantly, pie. I had a few delicious bites at the Pioneer Fall Festival and now I want more. And even though national pie day is March 14, it's never too late to celebrate. Usually when I make pie filling, it's done by feeling, or by random amount of fruit I happen to have on hand. I end up with too much filling for one pie, but not enough for two and thus how the sweet potato pie and...
Ten Years Ago August 27, 2009 A slight breeze kept the bees away while everyone enjoyed lots of good conversation, food and a little music from the Blue Mountain Troublemakers, at the Hockersmith place on Rocky Point last weekend. Prompted by fascinating stories from Bettie Chase, Ivan Keve, and the Hap Cline series about the community that used to be, several Jasper Mountain families spent the afternoon on the mountain. Touchet will honor retiring football coach, Wayne Dickey, during a special...
