* On Sept. 8, 1504, one of the world’s most beloved works of art, “David,” by Michelangelo Buonarroti, is unveiled to the public in Florence, Italy’s Piazza della Signoria.

Before I share this recipe (again) I will share with you a feedback I received in the email. When I copy recipes off any website, I read a few of the reviews which are helpful. So this would be like a review for the recipe. I have had several conversations with those who have tried the recipes, but made a “tweak,” but I haven’t been diligent about getting them in the paper. This was from Suzanne. “A while back you showed the above. (Skewered Grilled Potatoes) I tried it and it was AWESOME...
It's rare to take a country walk without seeing them. Hidden in the grass, hiding behind trees, half in and out of ditches: rusty old decaying trucks peek out, inviting us – pleadingly -- to stop a moment and look. "Every old truck has a history of service," says Walla Walla watercolor painter Randy Klassen. "They transported all kinds of material from its base to where it was needed: agricultural products, machinery, lumber, and all kinds of items." Like people, every truck has its history, b...

Marvin Klundt, a 1953 graduate of Waitsburg High, was working with Harold McClusky, who became know as ‘The Atomic Man” in 1976, when an explosion exposed McClusky to a dose of americium-241 500 times higher than a person should receive over a lifetime.

I've never heard of a bread with peaches so this caught my eye. I decided I'd better try the recipe first. I had everything I needed except the cream cheese, which is not often in my refrigerator. I even had yogurt, because I have another recipe that calls for it. I had just bought four peaches, this recipe called for three peaches or two cups. **Measure after two peaches (suggestion). This is a winner. Very moist. I am going to toast it for breakfast. I did not put the glaze on. And next time...
Ten Years Ago August 29, 2009 Wheat harvest should be done by early next week. Several farmers around Waitsburg reported some fields yielding 100-plus bushels per acre, McCaw added. Yield and quality reports-quite good yields and good test weights with low dockages-remain as previously reported. “It appears the rains did not hurt the quality in the area,” he said.

Enjoy!...
I tasted these at our church potluck and asked for the recipes. I received them last Sunday, handwritten on a bright yellow sheet of paper, without a lot of detailed directions, as you find in today’s recipes. Love it! So, since I have a limited space, I’m not going to do a lot of chatting. There will be no directions, per se, but just a few of the included notes. DRESSING: 1 package Uncle Dan’s Dressing or Ranch Mix with 16 oz sour cream or mayonnaise Dressing will be enough to make both salads...

Gardening and technology are two words that might not seem to go together, but green thumbs and screen thumbs are not so disparate. There's a tool for every job, whether you're growing on an acre or in a container, it's likely there's an app for that. But apps are only the beginning. Plant Identification PictureThis by Glority LLC for iPhone, iPad and Android users is an app that identifies plants by photographs of leaves or flowers. This is handy in springtime, especially for planning what...
Have fun and good luck!...
I'm sure I have shared this before, but I didn't see it in my recipe file. A while ago, I accidently deleted my file, then deleted the trash file. Joe was able to retrieve most, but I think some never made it back. First, at this time of year, when dinner comes around, we are hungry, but we want lighter fare and we eat later. So I haven't shared many dinner ideas because what I have been fixing hasn't been any recipes. For instance, today I made a large pasta salad with fake crab, boiled eggs, celery, olives, and cheese. The dressing is a combo...
I have long thought about fly fishing on the Wenaha River but hadn't had the opportunity until last week when my husband and I camped at Fields Spring State Park for a few days. Fields Spring State Park is an 826-acre forested camping park located in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington, 30 miles south of Clarkston on Highway 129. Named for early settlers, Ben and Mary Fields, who developed the spring and used the water for their ranch and home, the park is on one of the routes...
