I recently ordered Espresso Powder from King Arthur Flour Company. I "liked" them on Facebook so I can see their posts. They had posted that coffee or espresso used in chocolate recipes enhances the chocolate flavor. I remembered I had a chocolate cake recipe that called for a cup of hot coffee and thought I could try this espresso powder. And as luck would have it, no one signed up for coffee hour at our church. I usually don't make cake at home because it's too much to eat for the two of us....

I think I found this on Facebook. I love that you can save recipes and ideas and go back to them when you get a chance. Not that I have, but they are there in case and Facebook reminds me how many I saved that week. Quote: “This is perfect for any potluck. This salad packs a lot of flavor and is very hearty. You will get rave reviews with this one” I didn’t make this yet but will next week. I went to the store and didn’t find the white wine vinegar. I googled it and “they” said no, it is not the same as white vinegar. I’ll see if I can find it...

Ten Years Ago June 14, 2007 Last year a local team, Cole Construction, finished with some hardware, and they will return to the diamond at the 2007 Lions Club Softball Bash to take another shot at the championship.

Before I mention this week's recipe, I'd like to talk about last week's recipe that used a raw egg. It is not recommended to eat a raw egg, so please look up the pros and cons and decide if you want to use the recipe. My friend suggested substituting Egg Beaters. As she and I discussed, I have not had a problem eating raw cookie dough or batters with a raw egg, so I would not have thought anything about making the peanut butter pie. She has had experience with salmonella and food poisoning and it sounds like it is not a fun thing to go through....
Ten Years Ago June 7, 2007 Local small grain producers are smiling broadly thanks to steady and widespread rainfall which arrived in the area Monday evening after several scorching days at the end of May and first part of June. About three-quarters or an inch of rain fell on the area Tuesday breaking a dry month of May and about a week of hot weather. “This rain will definitely help,” said Heath Druffel, area manager for McGregor Co., in Waitsburg. “This is money falling out of the sky,” said Gary Hofer, a local wheat trader and analyst...

This week’s recipe comes from Cheri, who is the owner of The Last Resort. She asked me if she could share some of her recipes. Absolutely! Those tried-and-true recipes are the best. I have seen peanut butter pie recipes before, but have not made them. This is on my list now. I asked her to take a picture, but she said it was gone before she had a chance. Joe will tell you that I would put peanut butter on everything. Not true. It has its place, but I have more places to put it than he does – like pancakes. INGREDIENTS: 1 1/3 c. creamy pea...

Are you still waiting for the Perfect Pound Cake recipe? Me too! I’m sure I put it somewhere I could find it when I wanted it, but... Yes, I could google it, but there is more than one and I wanted to try this one. So it is on the back burner until I clean my desk or accidently find it. This recipe came from a friend. I have tried it and it’s good. It is almost barbeque season and this would be perfect for it, or a small gathering. I don’t know how well it would hold over though. INGREDIENTS 1 bag spinach 1 head iceberg or romaine lettu...

Ten Years Ago May 17, 2007 Hey pard, folks around Waitsburg are as pleased as a pup with two tails that the 94th running of the Days of Real Sport is this weekend. Town is spruced up and ready to entertain friends and neighbors from near and far with the parade and the two days of Quarterhorse and thoroughbred horse racing, and plenty of after-hours fun is planned. But wait! Things don’t get really rollin’ until Friday night at the DRS Kick Off Dinner and Dance, with music by Little McKay Creek Band. That’s when the queen is chosen from the t...

I really struggled with the recipe this week, thinking of Mother's Day. I actually over-thought it. First I was thinking of a recipe for brunch, but selfishly, brunch for me comes at the wrong time of day. I'm hungry when I get up, thus not hungry for brunch. Then I thought of the many different types of moms: those who are with us and those who are not. And those people in our lives that may be more motherly and nurturing than our own moms, like aunts, older sisters, elderly next door...
