  • Hunt it (or catch) it, grow it, cook it and serve – Waitsburg Style

    Daniel Rossi, the Times|Jun 18, 2020

    I truly believe the best ideas are hatched at cocktail parties. Or maybe it's just with cocktails, but we had an idea. Brad hunts and fishes, his wife Alexandra (Ali) is an expert and prolific gardener, Daniel is a professional chef, and me – well, I do dishes and love to eat! Hence, an idea was born, to combine our talents and appetites and come up with a menu, based on our local food, because we are lucky to live where it's possible to truly eat local! Ali swooped by our front porch one m...

  • Coffee with Cryptids

    Beka Compton, the Times|Jun 18, 2020

    Back in April, Waitsburg saw a sudden uptick in the local bigfoot population. Lisa Russell, the owner of Cryptid Comforts, was at the heart of the population boom and is ready to bring more legends and cryptids to town. Russell taught herself to sew sock monkeys a few years ago and before long she had all sorts of interest from friends and family to purchase the monkeys. While teaching at Portland Jewish Academy, a colleague suggested a unicorn sewing class, and while Russell liked the idea,...

  • Pioneer Portraits

    the Times|Jun 18, 2020

    Ten Years Ago July 7, 2011 [Photo caption] Alex the Clown rides atop the elephants during Thursday evening’s show of the Carson & Barnes circus on the outskirts of Dayton. When Imbert Matthee bought the Times in fall of 2009, the Dutch immigrant was as excited about owning two Main Street buildings as he was about having his own newspaper after a long career as a daily news reporter, editor and columnist. Coffee and an occasional French-syle pastry being his favorite and only breakfast, Matthee said he can’t wait for Coppei Coffee’s door to op...

  • Strawberry Spinach Salad I

    Teeny McMunn, the Times|Jun 18, 2020

    I bought some local strawberries and have really been smitten by the fresh, fruity, and sweet taste. We cut them up, add a bit of sugar, and put them on whatever we can find. I recently made the rhubarb upside down cake which is even better with fresh strawberries. I think I have posted a recipe for strawberry spinach salad before but I believe this dressing is different. You could add chicken or cheese for some protein to the salad. I have poppy seeds but not sesame seeds to make this. That is...
