I'm not sure if this is the recipe the Amish use, but its good and I make it often. This last batch, I added wheat germ and chia seeds. It is not uncommon for me to have someone stop and tell me they love reading the recipes, but really haven't made them. I laughed when it dawned on me that is what I do with exercise tapes. I watch them, save them on Facebook, and somehow think that is the same as doing them. For me, I'll start a recipe before I dust so you can see my priorities. INGREDIENTS: 2...

* It was 17th-century French philosopher Rene Descartes who made the following sage observation: “If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.” * Does the sight of a bald eagle inspire you with patriotism? If so, you can thank John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who overruled Benjamin Franklin when deciding on the national bird. Had Franklin had his way, we’d be looking to find national pride in the somewhat more humble turkey. * When you think of large tire...
Ten Years Ago August 30, 2007 The City of Waitsburg’s official flag has been flying beneath the stars and stripes on the downtown flagpole for the past week or so. The City Council approved of the design in early June and accepted the offer of reimbursement for the flags from Bettie Chase, Bert Baxter and Mayor Markeeta Little Wolf. When the gun goes off to start the 2007 Cross Country season, Waitsburg High School looks to be a favorite to earn a berth in the State Meet later this fall. Maya Garcia, now a sophomore, is favored to be in the t...

I saw this recipe and the following caption, "This is great as thick soup served with French bread or served over rice or noodles. Better the next day!" And it had four stars so I figured it would be a good one to try. Besides, it's a good way to use up some more zucchini and lots of other fresh vegetables. I was going to put in an Amish White Bread recipe but it will have to wait. I thought this would be a winner because it could cook all day and if you picked up a fresh loaf of bread from one of our many bakeries, you'd have a healthy,...
* It was pioneering Mexican-American musician Carlos Santana who made the following sage observation: “The most valuable possession you can own is an open heart. The most powerful weapon you can be is an instrument of peace.” * Those who study such things say that men who tend to be womanizers when they’re single are more likely to be jealous husbands once they’re married. * Driving isn’t the only activity that is dangerous to mix with alcohol. Statistics show that 40 percent of skiers who get injured in the French Alps are legally drunk....
Ron and Marilyn Groom celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary Aug. 12, 2017, with family and friends. They were married at the First Nazarene Church in Walla Walla (now Amazing Grace Nazarene). Following a brief honeymoon at Wallowa Lake, Ore., the couple returned to Guam where Ron was stationed at Anderson Air Force Base working as an instrument technician on C-130 weather squadron planes.

Ten Years Ago August 23, 2007 Photo caption: Slowly the mule-drawn wagon carrying the casket of Kenneth G. Smith climbed the gently sloping hill at the Waitsburg City Cemetery, conveying the prominent wheat rancher and Quarterhorse enthusiast to his final resting place. Friends and Family attended the graveside service last Wednesday, officiated by Rev.

* On Aug. 31, 1886, an earthquake near Charleston, South Carolina, leaves more than 100 people dead and destroys hundreds of buildings. It was the largest recorded earthquake in the history of the southeastern U.S. * On Sept. 3, 1935, Britain’s Sir Malcolm Campbell sets a new land-speed record on the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah. With its low-slung, aerodynamic body and 2,500-horsepower engine, the Bluebird averaged 301 mph in two runs over a 1-mile course. Today, the land-speed record stands at 763 mph....
I saw a similar recipe on Facebook and thought I saved it, but I guess not. So I Googled the recipe, only to find out there are many versions. This one was the closest to what I remembered. It turned out yummy and quick, but I didn't follow it exactly. I realized just recently, that cutting a raw chicken breast into bite sizes, then cooking it goes a lot faster than cooking a whole chicken breast, then cutting it up. I know! Sad isn't it?! MARINADE: ¼ C. brown sugar 3 Tbsp soy sauce 2 cloves garlic 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated Fresh...
* Those who study such things say that the three subjects that spark the most arguments in a marriage are money, children and driving. Of course, any couple that has had to figure out a teenager’s auto insurance costs already knows that. * Dogs can be xenophobic, too -- those are the pups that are afraid of strangers. * You’ve heard of standing desks, right? These work surfaces -- which are designed to allow people to stand rather than sit while accomplishing their tasks -- have become quite popular in recent years. Standing desks are not a n...

Ten Years Ago August 16, 2007 Grain prices have been ratcheting up each day, jumping 15¢ on Tuesday, August 14, said J.E. McCaw, local manager of Northwest Grain Growers, as harvest operations in the Touchet Valley and surrounding area begin to curtail activities. Soft white wheat closed Tuesday at an all-time record high of $6.47, McCaw said. Sparks from an electrical tool are suspected as the cause of a fire which destroyed a pleasure boat and caused minor burns to the boat owner’s hands and arms last Thursday. Casey paul, no age available, 8...

This recipe comes from Marg Schmick, Andee Thurston's mom who lives in Endicott and who gave me a story for the Times' harvest issue. I asked Marg if she had any recipes to share and she gave me this one with a note, "Current easy favorite!" I haven't met her, but I can tell we would be friends. I haven't had a chance to make it but it's on my list. It is a stovetop, one-pot dinner. Winner! INGREDIENTS: 1 lb. hamburger 1 large onion 1 Tbsp olive oil 1 c. long grain white rice 1-15 oz can diced tomatoes 1-15 oz rinsed and drained black beans 1...
Ten Years Ago August 9, 2007 Wheat harvest in the Touchet Valley and surrounding is well past commodity prices are uncharacteristically on the rise. “These are the highest prices I’ve ever seen,” said J.E. McCaw, local manager of the Waitsburg branch of Northwest Grain Growers. The last time wheat was in the $6 range, McCaw said, was the spring following the 1973 harvest, when prices reached the $6.20 range. “Here we are at $6.17 and we’re still in harvest,” he said. Photo caption: Ted and Lavonne Bren of Waitsburg recently ventured to...

* On Aug. 12, 30 B.C., Cleopatra, queen of Egypt and lover of Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, takes her life following the defeat of her forces against Octavian, the future first emperor of Rome. * On Aug. 13, 1878, a restaurant owner dies of yellow fever in Memphis, Tennessee, after a man who had escaped a quarantined steamboat visited her restaurant. In the 19th century, it was not known that mosquitoes carried yellow fever, and victims were quarantined in an attempt to prevent its spread. * On Aug. 7, 1912, former president Theodore...
I saw this recipe on one of those videos on Facebook that makes you think you can do it all in 30 seconds. It's the season for zucchini and I had one that must have been on steroids so I decided to make them. I had Panko and the parmesan cheese, had bought the garlic powder for another recipe (expensive), so was good to go. The Facebook recipe showed a dip to use. Most dips I don't care for because they have sour cream or cream cheese in them. I figured I didn't need a dip anyway, they looked...
* It was aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart who made the following sage observation: “Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn’t be done.” * Those who study such things say that as we get older, we breathe more slowly. * Sure, a group of swans can be referred to as a flock or a flight, but why not show some creativity? You can refer to a grounded group as a bank or a drift (presumably due its resemblance to a drift of snow); in the air, they can, collectively, be called a wedge. The best choice, however, might be the fanciful term “a la...
Ten Years Ago Aug. 2, 2007 Retirement for Waitsburg Postmaster Don Maiuri will not include lots of golf, fishing and shuffleboard. The 34-year veteran of the U.S. Postal Service wrapped up a ten-plus year stint at the Waitsburg Post Office this week, but retirement will mean more time available to devote to the small business he and his wife Jerri operate, Cugini, and Italian foods store in Walla Walla. Since opening on July 1, business at jimgermanbar, one of Waitsburg’s newest establishments, has been good. Located in the former Odd F...

*Marsupials and platypuses are the only mammals that don’t have belly buttons. A marsupial loses its umbilical cord before emerging its mother’s pouch, so a scar never forms. Platypuses are hatched and never have an umbilical cord to begin with. * In the state of Texas, it’s against the law to milk a cow that’s not your own. * You might be surprised to learn that hyenas are more closely related to cats than to dogs....
