First, I have not made last week's soup recipe, because I had not picked up the garam masala spice, only to find out that my back alley neighbor has some she is willing to share so I will make the soup soon. I have not made this recipe either, but will for the church potluck. I think this is an old recipe that has been around for a while. Some of the comments were that it is a tradition for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas gatherings. I would think also for a Valentine's get together. They call it a salad, though I think it fits into the dessert...
* It was Margaret Chase Smith, the first woman to serve in both houses of the U.S. Congress, who made the following sage observation: “Those of us who shout the loudest about Americanism in making character assassinations are all too frequently those who, by our own words and acts, ignore some of the basic principles of Americanism: The right to criticize; The right to hold unpopular beliefs; The right to protest; The right of independent thought.” * According to historians, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill slept on silk sheets and...

Ten Years Ago January 10, 2008 The Waitsburg Fifth Grade Ski Program begins this week at Ski Bluewood and according to teacher Pam Conover, the students are “quite excited” about going skiing. Before they went, however, Deb Callahan brought two sewing machines to the classroom and with Stacia Deal as her dew-worthy assistant, made fleece neck warmers with the kids.

* The unknown soul who made the following sage observation must have been a keen observer of events: “A politician can appear to have his nose to the grindstone while straddling a fence and keeping both ears to the ground.” * In the 17th century, a Frenchman opened a coffee shop in London and sold chocolate, newly imported from the Americas, for 10 to 15 shillings a pound. That may not sound like much until you learn that at the time, the going price of a pound gold was 20 to 30 shillings. * Are you interested in pogonotrophy? If you’re a woman...
This caught my eye and, of course, makes me think of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, always a favorite for those cold days and a quick dinner. I didn't get a chance to make it yet but it got a five-star rati9ng. One of the seasonings is garam masala. I googled it to see if it was going to be hard to find and it isn't. When I get it purchased and if you are interested in making this, then please let me know. The recipe only calls for 1/8 teaspoon, so I'm sure I will have plenty to share. It looks like an interesting blend of flavors....
Remember hearing "Kilroy was here"? Kilroy is a famous "doodle" seen during World War II. No one is sure exactly where it began, but in about 1939, the comic man looking over a fence while poking his nose and hands over it with the words "Kilroy was here" started to appear. The doodles were found in strange places where soldiers were stationed. The character may have been inspired by an earlier bit of graffiti used by Australians during World War I with the words "Foo was here." He reappeared...

Ten Years Ago January 3, 2008 With a skiff of snow and threatening skies, construction workers busy with the new Waitsburg Clinic at the corner of Third and Main were hard at work a couple of days after Christmas.

This is a favorite with my kids and requested every year, along with my dinner rolls, and this year, the sweet potato dish with marshmallows. I have made my dinner rolls for a long time, but this time, it seemed all the stars were not aligned as the bottoms burnt and they didn’t rise as much. Sigh! All the time, ingredients, and cost that goes into them and they were a failure. I’m not sure if I will have time to redo or not. I posted my tragic day on Facebook and by the response, I had good company. This recipe has several names and Chex mix...
