* In Finland, it is traditional to pay a visit to the steam baths on Christmas Day. Nice and clean, Finns then put on new clothes before enjoying their Christmas dinner, which is served in the evening. * The nation of Canada has the longest coastline in the world. * Lots of people dislike lawyers, right? You might be surprised to learn, though, that it isn’t a new phenomenon. In fact, in 1641 the Massachusetts Bay colony made it illegal for anyone to earn money by representing another in court, and in 1658, the legislature of Virginia passed l...

Ten Years Ago November 29, 2007 Waitsburg’s Streetscape Renovation Project, beset by delays and setbacks, got a $140,000 boost this week. “This is a real shot in the arm for Waitsburg’s Main Street.” said Ross Hamann, chairman of the Waitsburg Community Revitalization Committee (WRC).

When we were growing up, I remember making eggnog, or I guess our version of it. We would crack a raw egg into a glass, beat it with one of those small egg beaters that fit into a glass and one would have to work it up and down. I think one can find those in the antique stores. We would add vanilla and sugar, beat a little more, then add milk. Stirred it good and drank it for breakfast. Eggnog that one buys is too sweet for me. I know some add rum to it but it's not for me. That being said, when I saw this recipe, I thought the added eggnog wou...

* It was 17th-century English novelist and politician Edward Bulwer-Lytton who made the following sage observation: “If you wish to be loved, show more of your faults than your virtues.” * If you have an indoor/outdoor cat, you might have found yourself wondering why it sometimes shows up on your doorstep with an offering of a dead animal. Well, there’s actually a good reason for it. It seems that the cats most likely to present owners with a gory gift are spayed females, and they’re acting out behaviors seen in the wild. Feral cats teach t...
* On Nov. 25, 1783, nearly three months after the Treaty of Paris was signed ending the American Revolution, the last British soldiers withdraw from New York City. Four months later, the city was declared the capital of the United States. In 1790, the capital was moved to Philadelphia. * On Nov. 24, 1849, John Froelich, inventor of the tractor, is born in Iowa. To replace dangerous steam-powered threshers that tended to start fires, Froelich created a one-cylinder gasoline machine. It could thresh more than 1,000 bushels of grain a day without...
This caught my eye, though I haven't made it yet. I've made burritos that are eaten by hand. I'd say these are more burritos/enchiladas combo. The recipe says it makes eight servings. So for us, that will mean left overs. INGREDIENTS: 1 Tbsp vegetable oil 1 ½ c. cooked rice 1 lb lean ground beef 2 c. shredded Mexican cheese blend ½ c. diced onion 1 can Old El Paso enchilada sauce 1 pkg Old El Paso taco seasoning mix Optional-chopped cilantro leaves ½ c. water lime wedges 1 pkg Old El Paso flour tortillas (8") 1 c. Old El...

* On Nov. 8, 1895, in his lab in Germany, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen becomes the first person to observe X-rays while testing whether cathode rays could pass through glass. Rontgen received numerous accolades for his work, including the first Nobel Prize in physics in 1901. * On Nov. 9, 1938, German Nazis launch a campaign of terror against Jews in Germany and Austria. The violence was dubbed "Kristallnacht," or "Night of Broken Glass," for the countless smashed windows of 7,500 Jewish-owned establishments. Some 100 Jews died, and hundred...
One of my many downfalls is cinnamon anything, but cinnamon rolls are on the top of that list. I prefer mine to be a sweet roll with plenty of cinnamon and no frosting, please. When I saw this recipe I thought, if it has buttermilk as an ingredient then it has to be a light, not heavy, dough, and I was right. It also used brown sugar which I had not used before. I thought I'd give it a try. And thankfully, I have a handy taster, Joe. When he went for his third roll, I knew they were a success....

We’ve also been informed that Dayton senior princess Melody Reeves and prince Hayden Wooldridge weren’t named in the caption on last week’s homecoming court photo. Please accept our apologies....
