A couple of things while I am thinking about it. First, part of my job is proofreading the paper before it gets printed. Obviously, I don't proofread my own recipes as someone pointed out that last week's recipe, the pound cake, had 5-75 minutes baking time, not 50-75 minutes. She laughed, as at least that mistake was obvious. I will try to be a little more attentive to my typing. Also, I thought the pound cake took a lot of eggs (8),but Sylvia made one for the church coffee hour that took 10...

Dayton photographer Ray Brown captured this photo of this full moon finishing off the first day of spring. This was the third time this year that a full moon has occured near the moon's closest approach, making it a Supermoon. This will be the last Supermoon of 2019. It is very rare for a Supermoon to coincide with the spring equinox. The next such event will be in 2144. According to the Farmer's Almanac, the moon is called a Super Worm Moon because, as the ground begins to thaw, earthworm...

Loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend to many, passed away March 2, 2019, after a short battle with the flu. Mother was born in Miami, OK in 1927, with her mother Ruby Lightfoot passing away four years later due to complications from surgery. Mother’s local family there got her a Grey Hound bus ticket to Umatilla, OR, issued as Express Baggage (cheaper than coach) with a $10 dollar bill pinned to her blouse. The rumor must have preceded her as when she g...
Jeffrey Laurence Broom passed away the evening of March 4, 2019 at Dayton General Hospital in Dayton, Washington. He was born March 28th, 1946 in Spokane, Washington, and grew up in Waitsburg with his father Larry, mother Roberta, and sister Joy. Growing up in the 1950s, he loved cars and making model airplanes. He would often sit on his front porch and try to guess the make and model of cars driving along Coppei Avenue, based on the sound its engine. He was an avid reader of both Popular...
I had mentioned this recipe awhile back and said I couldn’t find it. I found it and made it this weekend. It makes two loaves and I wanted one for the freezer for company coming in a few weeks. I’ll serve with strawberries and blueberries that we still have in the freezer, sort of a kick -start to spring. No, I did not make a typo, as I have been known to do in the past. It really does take eight eggs and a pound of butter. INGREDIENTS 2 ½ c. granulated sugar 2 c. unsalted butter (4 sticks)...

Editor's Note: We need you! In an effort to promote positivity The Times will run a "Cheers!" section each week. This is like "Cheers and Jeers" section but without the "Jeers." If readers see or hear something that deserves a pat on the back or sparks inspiration, send it to dena@waitsburgtimes.com with the subject line "Cheers!" This could be a photo, or simply be a sentence such as: "Thanks to the lady in the grocery store who saw my fussy toddler and let us cut in line" or "Mrs. B's flower...
Here are a couple of recipes that are quick and easy to make. They don't need a lot of chit-chat so I'm hoping to get two in. FIRST Oh my gosh! I need a correction to the meat loaf recipe. I try to proof read but this one got by me. A fella came into the Times office, already laughing and mentioned the recipe. I said, yes I do them. He said the meat loaf recipe has an error in it, again laughing, which was contagious. So I picked up the paper and glanced thru it. Sure enough, it calls for 34 cups of milk, not ¾ c. milk. By then I was l...

Waitsburg photographer Bill Rodgers submitted this stunning photo of Waitsburg nestled in a valley of snow-covered hills last week. He optimistically titled the shot, taken from Middle Waitsburg Road, 'Winter's Last Gasp.' As The Times is prepping for press on this March 12, I sit at my desk to once again see flakes falling from the sky. Let's hope this truly is winter's last gasp. I think we're all more than ready for spring....
Ten Years Ago March 19, 2009 A surprise phone call from Waitsburg to San Francisco was how 2008 Commercial Club Community Service Award winners Wayne and Ruth Peterson of Waitsburg were informed and congratulated for receiving the honor. Master of Ceremonies Tom Baker introduced the Community Service Award presentation with an odd reference to a “being similar to a marriage—except we’re only lacking a bride and groom.” With that Baker went on to announce the Peterson’s honor. After finishing second in the Alpine Slalom and third in both the Alp...

Since St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, this came into my email. I’ve never made it before. Most breads I make are made with yeast. It’s in the oven as I type so we will see. I’m making my meatloaf dinner tonight.**The meatloaf turned out very flavorful, using 2 pounds of hamburger and 3 bratwurst, skins off and mixed in, then onions, egg, bread crumbs, Meatloaf seasoning, extra pepper, and garlic salt. Worthy of meatloaf sandwiches;) The ‘real” Irish soda bread consists simply of Irish whole...
