I saw this recipe in the Colfax Gazette. She (Judy Gehring) said it originally published in Taste of Home in 1998. What caught my attention was using vanilla pudding "cook and serve" as one of its ingredients. What? I guess it wasn't too unusual as I have a spice cake mix that you can make a pumpkin Bundt cake using instant vanilla pudding. That made more sense. But I was intrigued and wanted to try it. We had the Christmas bazaar on Saturday. This would be a good time bake it. It makes five...
Ten Years Ago-December 4, 2008 During the winter sports season, the Waitsburg-Prescott Athletic Combine may be referred to as Waitsburg-Prescott, W-P or the W-P Cardinals, according to superintendents Carol Clarke of Waitsburg and Carolyn Marsh of Prescott. While the W-P Combine will continue to keep community tradition and history alive through dual mascots, it has been determined that media reporting would be easier if the teams could identify a single mascot, the superintendents announced....
I'm making this recipe an official "My Recipe Box" tradition for the week after Thanksgiving. Here are my lead-ins for the past two years: "If this sounds familiar, it is. I used this recipe last year about this time. It's worth repeating." (November 2017) "I used to make this after Thanksgiving when I had a family and trying to stretch all the leftovers I could. It's very good and would be handy if there is still "leftover" company." (November 2016) INGREDIENTS: 1 pkg 8 oz thin spaghetti 4...
Ten Years Ago-November 27, 2008 Photo Caption: "Fiddler on the Roof" is in performances at the Liberty Theater in Dayton-and all shows are sold out. The rural village of Annatevka, home to Tevre (Steve Edwards) and his wife Golde (Sheri Huwe), comes alive on stage as Tevye, the father of five daughters attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach. The milkshakes in America are yummier, but exchange student Madina Marstovna Musina misses "naan", the...
I was debating on what to put in this week. Last year at this time, I put in a recipe called Turkey Imperial. It is a good way to use up leftover turkey, so if you are looking for it or would like to consider it, let me know. I was going to use it again until I came across a few others. One was called Quinoa and Broccoli, using mushroom soup, sour cream, and Durkee's Dried Onions. Another one I saw was Kielbasa sausage and Brussel sprouts, but that seemed like a short recipe so passed on it....
Ten Years Ago-November 20, 2008 Dust off that top hat and magic wand or better yet, haul the accordion out of the deep recesses of the closet and polish up on your polka playing for the (first in a very long time) Winter Talent Show. The show hosted by the Waitsburg High School Associated Student Body Officers, will be at 6:30 p.m. December 7, 2008, following the Hometown Christmas Activities in the Waitsburg High School Auditorium. Master of Ceremonies will be Fred Hamann and three "celebrity"...
Ten Years Ago-November 13, 2008 Wait's Mill was the first commercial building in Waitsburg and was the original reason for the town's existence. The mill was built in 1865 and operated continuously until 1957. It is listed as one of Washington's Most Endangered Historical Properties by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. A $30,000 grant has been awarded by the Kinsman Foundation of Milwaukie, Ore, to the Blue Mountain Resource Conservation and Development Council (RC&D) for the...
I really debated about whether to repost last year's recipe, Sausage and Apple Stuffed Squash, because it is so fall-ish and a "dinner in the oven, but I saw this one. I like shrimp and find it a nice break from beef, chicken and pork. Even if one is not on a Keto diet, and I am not, I thought it sounded delicious. I like broccoli anyway. I don't have a spiralizer, so I will use angel hair pasta with broccoli on the side. I made Savonnah's bread for the potluck on Saturday, but not without some...

This recipe is shared from Savonnah Henderson, who, most of you know, works at Wenaha Gallery in Dayton. But most may not know what a gourmet baker she is. She posted this picture on Facebook, so I contacted her. I haven't made it yet but it's on my list. A thought-if you don't make bread, then maybe share with someone who does and hopefully they will share back. A quick note: if you know someone who is struggling for any reason, but don't know how to reach out or what to say, take them food,...
Ten Years Ago-October 30, 2008 Waitsburg Commercial Club opted to purchase lighted garland from a local business after hearing a proposal from a Tri-Cities company regarding Christmas decorations for downtown business. At a board meeting Oct 23, the Senske bid was considered and it exceeded C-Club's budget. The Board opted to buy about $1800 worth of lights and garlands from Waitsburg Hardware & Mercantile. Waitsburg native Beth Abbey finished the Nike Women's San Francisco Marathon first in...
I saw this recipe come through my email and thought of the times I had made Tater Tot Casserole when I had a young family. It was always a favorite. So I thought I'd make this one, since I haven't done dinners lately, and sometimes we just need ideas for dinner. Well, I'll share the recipe but I think the original one would be better. This one has the soup mixture on top, which does not allow the tater tots to get crispy, which, in my opinion is what tater tots should be. It makes them more like...
Ten Years Ago-October 23, 2008 The 50 string Salt & Light Music Ministry comprised of young people from Waitsburg, Dayton and the surrounding area, will be giving a concert in Dayton Sunday. The group which rehearses inspirational music and tours in June with its inspirational message will present its musical offerings at 6pm, Sunday, Oct 26, at the Harvest Christian Center in Dayton. Walla Walla Sasayama Sister City Committee has returned from Sasyama Hyogo Prefecture Japan after an 11-day...
My first thought was to look up the mock apple pie made from zucchini. When I picked up a few zucchinis from an acquaintance, she asked me if I had ever tried it. I told her I had not, and she said you couldn't tell the difference. So I googled it thinking that would be the recipe for the week, but found this one instead. I found the history interesting and thought it would bring up conversation and memories of those who used to make it. I mentioned it to a friend at church who said it's very go...
City official Jake Adams works to update Waitsburg's Main St. fire hydrants. Following last month's fire, fire fighters had trouble stemming the flow due to gravel in the line. The gravel was thought to have been leftover from a previous fire. The excavation pictured has since been paved over....
Ten Years Ago-October 16, 2008 The biggest who of the year (in actual numbers)----High School MASS Band and Chorus-is coming to the Waitsburg High School gym on Wednesday, October 22. Around 300 high school band and choral students from al over the area will descend on WHS Wednesday afternoon. They have been preparing certain pieces of music at their home schools from Touchet to Rosalia for the last month. On Wednesday they will all rehearse together for the first in time with expert...
I made this on a weekend, when I have more time to fuss with breakfast. This goes together quickly, and I found not as heavy as regular pancakes, which I really like. I found it surprising that the apples are put in the bottom, but when baked, they come out on the top. It's very flavorful and a keeper. INGREDIENTS: 6 eggs ½ tsp salt 1 ½ c. milk ¼ tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 Tbsp butter 1 c. all purpose flour 2 apples-peeled, cored, and sliced 3 Tbsp sugar 3 Tbsp...
Ten Years Ago-October 9. 2008 Photo caption: Something strange-Halloween-like-is going on at Bill Fisher's place at 416 Willard. Fisher and his daughter, Nikki, have a "papple" tree growing. It's a special kind of tree that grows both apples and pumpkins, as well, is just one of those "Waitsburg. One of a Kind" kind of things. The second annual "Holy Bucket Retreat" is scheduled for Saturday, Oct 25 at the First Presbyterian Church of Waitsburg. People from all over the valley are welcomed,...
I thought I'd give you a break from all the sweet recipes, although I made Greek Yogurt Chocolate Zucchini Bread this weekend and it was great. Made with coconut oil, honey, and not much brown sugar. Very chocolatey and not too sweet. I'm going to try to switch to apple and pumpkin recipes so if you think you would like this recipe, let me know. I have this turkey meatloaf mixed and ready for the oven-see report. INGREDIENTS: 2 c. coarsely chopped zucchini 1 egg 1 ½ c. coarsely chopped...
Ten Years Ago-October 2, 2008 Tomfoolery by Tom Baker: News of the week that kept the talking heads on TV buzzing was the possible melt-down of the economy. With the stock market taking a couple of "down" days in the 500-point range, and a 777-point plunge on the day that Congress was meeting to solve the problems of the economy, it had some of the historians comparing it to the 1929 market crash. You will find about as many folks willing to discuss the roots of the "adjustment" as there are com...
I received this recipe from Heather Hiebert, one of the now-retired owners of the well-known Patit Creek Restaurant. In conversation she mentioned she had this great zucchini bread recipe. I asked her to please share it with us. This recipe calls for cake flour. I don't usually buy it unless I know I am going to use all of it. I have shared the substitution and have used it as well with success. Here it is again: Take one cup of all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled. Remove two tablespoons,...
Ten Years Ago-September 25, 2008 Pending finalization of a contract and the inclusion of the former Preston-Shaffer Milling Co. structure on the City's insurance policy, emergency roof repair work was approved unanimously by the Waitsburg City Council last week. Funding would come from a $30,000 grant made to the Wait's Mill Project through the Blue Mountain Resource and Conservation District (RC&D) by the Kinsman Foundation of Milwaukee, Ore. Of the funds granted, $27000 is available to the...
You know what a Whoopie Pie is, don't you? I thought everyone knew, but I thought everyone knew what a Pecan Sandie was also. I was wrong. Here is what the web said: "The whoopie pie is a U.S. baked product that may be considered either a cookie, pie or cake. It is made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, or sometimes pumpkin or gingerbread cake, with a sweet, creamy filling or frosting sandwiched between them" I received a recipe in my email, using Red Velvet cake mix, with the filling being marshmallow crème. There was a...
Original recipe from The Times and Bette Chase The thought of apple butter warms my heart. I always try to buy it homemade, usually at bake sales or yard sales, which I did for my last jar AND it was from Anita Baker's or her friend's yard sale. Then I asked her for the recipe. Seriously, I had no idea of how it was made, or cared, as long as I was able to resource it. This is a quote from CrazyforCrust.com: "Apple butter is a highly concentrated form of applesauce; it's cooked slow and long so...
