The white alders growing along the ditch are as old as time. The diameter of their sprawling limbs would make a California redwood envious. The lichen-stained railroad tie posts and cedar boards were no match. Replacing that corner section of the fence and gate was on my "to-do" list but failed to reach a priority status until that moment. Dusk had... Full story

I always looked forward to this casserole being served at my brother's home on Christmas mornings. My understanding was that it was his wife's father's recipe. I bugged her for the recipe for about five years before she finally told me, "Bill, that's your mother's recipe." I went through my mother's recipe box, which I had inherited, and sure enough – there it was. I'd had it all along. I have made a few changes and additions, and this is the result. Dry Ingredients: 8 – 10 slices of French or... Full story
