Ten Years Ago-August 7, 2008 Nearly 30 volunteers gathered at Ye Town Hall to talk plans to “Paint the Town” and more volunteers will be needed, say project directors Leroy Cunningham and Jim German. The project entails giving every building in the business core of Waitsburg a fresh paint, Cunningham said. The informal organization has already procured a donation of paint from Columbia Paint in Walla Walla, he told the group. Lydia Roberts, a member of the Waitsburg International Order of the Rainbow for Girs, journeyed to Chicago in July to...

One of our recipe readers, Suzy Cowdrey, emailed me and asked me for the Pecan Sandies recipe, as she had misplaced hers. In doing so, I asked her if she had any recipes she would like to share, and she sent three. This is one of them, and when she mentioned that Nana (Gertie Dorsey) made these for her harvest crew, I thought it might give another harvest cook an idea for breakfast. I did not make these, but I know it's an old recipe, as I remember making them a very long time ago. It has also been called refrigerator bran muffins. The batter...
Ten Years Ago-July 24, 2008 Buyers of U. S. wheat have helped made 2007-2008 a most remarkable marketing year, reports the U. S. Wheat Associates in its July 10 newsletter.

It seems fitting that these should follow a healthy recipe, and if I'm looking for a reason, these would make a great dessert for the harvest crew. I tasted these at the Women's Christian Luncheon, really like them, so googled the recipe, of which there a few. My oldest son's favorite cookie is a snickerdoodle, so since his birthday is coming up next month, I thought I'd make them. Do you or someone in the family not like chocolate, then this recipe is for you. INGREDIENTS: ½ c. butter, softened 2 ¾ c. all-purpose flour ½...
Ten Years Ago-July 24, 2008 No history of Columbia County could be told without including the Broughton family, now known for their large, well-managed parcels of land, but in the beginning the story was much smaller, focused upon one young man who left his home in Maryland in 1872 at the age of 17 to travel west. Charles J. Broughton, who was born in Somerset County, Maryland in 1854 accompanied his Uncle Buck Broughton West. Working for his uncle’s packing company, riding the bell mare and cooking for the packers on the trail between M...

What better time than our annual Harvest Edition to put in a recipe using wheat berries. From Food Networks Healthy Eats website comes this information: "Wheat berries are a true whole grain! You may not recognize the name, but without these kernels, there would be no flour. Wheat berries are loaded with nutrients and are as easy as rice to prepare – perfect for a meal any time of year." It goes on to say, "When boiled, cooked wheat berries have a chewy bite and subtle nutty, earthy flavor. They're sturdy enough to handle bold salad dressings a...
Ten Years Ago- July 17, 2008 A few local wheat producers have dipped their toes into the 2008 harvest this week, and harvest start-ups within the next week or so are likely to be delayed by the effects of the cool spring the region experienced. Start ups will likely be “a little later due to the cool spring” says J. E. McCaw, manager of the local branch of Northwest Grain Growers. Mc Caw expects “full swing” to be going late next week. “It’s about a week behind normal”, he said. Grain harvest in the Whetstone area started Monday with Jack Mille...

I had to smile as I was digging through my drawer to find this recipe. I had remembered exactly the paper it was written on, but had to go through them one by one, and of course it was the second to the last one. Now when I post a recipe, it goes into my recipe folder on the computer and I can easily do a search to find one. But this hand-written recipe dates back some 25 years. I have made this many times, but not recently. It is delicious – basically strawberries and cream cheese on a s...

First, I did make the recipe from last week – the Cuban Marinated Steak. It was great, and a lot better than I expected. I thought with the orange juice, it may come off a little sweet, but the lime juice countered it. I used Delmonico steak, and poked holes in it with a fork for marinade to adhere to. It's a keeper in my books. I wonder if it would work with hamburgers. I substituted the cumin seeds with just a bit of cumin powder. I'll watch for the seeds so next time I can use them. Quinoa: Pronounced "Keen-wah." Quinoa is gluten-free, h...

I saw this recipe come through in my email from All Recipes and it sounded interesting. The reviews all had praises for it. I thought it would be a good one to try for the upcoming holiday. I bought all the ingredients but couldn't find the cumin seeds locally. Some of the reviews mentioned they were a must, as that is the flavor that comes through. I also did not get ribeye steak, but a cheaper cut. We have the large Costco container of Montreal steak seasoning. I'm not sure if that is hard to find, but if you need a few tablespoons, I'll be...
