  • Just for fun . . .

    Dena Martin, The Times|Jan 17, 2019

    My Facebook feed is regularly filled with posts from people who have lost dogs, sighted loose dogs or picked up lost dogs and are looking for their owners. It's always fun to watch dog and owner reunited. This week, I've seen a post searching for the owner of a pair of glasses lost on Main Street in Waitsburg and another by a Mom whose young daughter lost a small purse near Caboose Park in Dayton. The young lady and her purse were quickly reunited. I often see people tagging friends and acquaint...

    This recipe came from The Country Cook and got a 5 star rating. I'll copy some of the comments as I found them interesting and informative. Pastrami or Corned Beef? The article says, "I believe the traditional Reuben sandwich is made with corned beef. " Then it goes on to say, "Corned beef is boiled and pastrami is smoked. They are both brined beforehand. Additional seasoning is also put in that brine, (which is basically salt, water and sugar) where it soaks for a long period of time. Then...

  • Teeny McMunn: My Recipe Box

    Teeny McMunn, The Times|Jan 17, 2019

    Before I go into my recipe, I'll share some thoughts, as it has to do with food. On my way home from Spokane, I stopped at a Colfax gas station as I usually do. I bought a "small" bag of Kettle Corn, my travel food. It keeps me busy with eating a few pieces at a time and actually got me past the Lewiston/Walla Walla junction. And yes I ate the whole bag, but here is my complaint. When I got home, it said it had four servings in it. NO WAY. One serving was 140 calories, so I'm sticking to the story that if I finished it in one serving, the b...
