My fear of using the pressure cooker is rational and understandable. My first experience with this kitchen monster, was when my mother was in a rush to make chicken soup; she decided to use the stainless-steel stove top pressure cooker, so we could have the soup that evening. I’m not sure of the specifics, or what was the catalyst for the catastrophe, but suddenly my sister and I heard a loud blast from the kitchen, screams followed by colorful words I didn’t even know she knew, a loud his...
Many times, when people attend art festivals and see an item they like, they say, “I could make that myself.” And then they never do. But Nancy Waldron is different. The first time the Colfax artist saw a rope basket in a catalog, she figured it would be no problem replicating the item, and proceeded to try. “I figured I could make my own,” Waldron remembers. “Being a team roper, I had more than a few old ropes lying around. “Well I was wrong. I had no clue how to make them. My first attem...

The purest styles of flamenco, some of which are: romances (ballads), martinetes, fandangos and soleares are...

When we moved to Waitsburg in 2017, my husband, Ray, hired on to the Blue Mountain Team of the McGregor Co. Once a year, the company invites their employees and their spouses to a weekend at the Coeur d’Alene Resort for their annual Company Dinner, and this past weekend, I got a brief look at the ins and outs of a company that keeps the agriculture world growing; quite literally. Founded in 1882, the McGregor Co. has its roots deep in the little town of Hooper, Wash. What was once a sheep r...
EARTH-Now that we're in the thick of November, we are confronted by the turning of the wheel. Daylight savings time has knocked us back an hour. The golden summer days, and the crisp fall air is just about to give way the all-out cold of winter. Before the holiday season takes hold, gardeners have a few days to put their gardens to bed and prepare for next year. Saying goodbye to this year's garden makes space for dreaming of the future. Next spring, I'm looking forward to doubling the garden's...
If you watched the Country Music Awards last night, you may have caught the opening performance by the 'super-group' The Highwomen. With a play on the name of the Highwaymen, the outlaw country supergroup that included Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson, the four women who make up the group are a potent follow-up to their male counterparts. The Highwomen include Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires. Their self-titled album was released on...

Mayhem - and fun for the audience – ensues when the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on! This hilarious yet heartwarming story involves T...
I had put a recipe in called the same, though it was a little more complicated. I found this handwritten one in my recipe drawer and it's the one I had made before. One can't get more "fall" than apples and acorn squash. If you would like the other version, please let me know. It made more stuffing and used sage and mushrooms. It also added an egg to the mixture. In my notes, I didn't say whether I used one or two acorn squash. One of my downfalls when I copy a recipe is I think I will remember. I'm going to say two, but if you use up the...
PRESCOTT—Brittany Zuger, ECEAP Lead Teacher at the Prescott School District shared some photos of her students having fun with the pumpkins that were donated to the class from the District office staff. District employees grew them outside their main entrance, and donated them to the preschoolers, probably never imagining the amount of learning and fun they would generate. Ms. Zuger expressed her appreciation saying, “Thank you all SO SO SO much for the pumpkins you provided to the ECEAP Pre...
