I cannot say enough about how utterly delicious this wine is. In fact, any wine bearing The Jack label is going to gobsmack your tastebuds. This is the latest rendition of the original Jack red, a Right Bank-ish Bordeaux blend of 75% Merlot, 10% Cab Franc, 10% Malbec, and 5% Petit Verdot. It may sound rather sophisticated for such an inexpensive wine, but it meets the challenge and takes you to flavor infinity and beyond. The Jack's track record for low cost/high quality over the past 20 years...

I think everyone goes through periods of adjustment; some are more difficult than others. Changes to relationships, houses, careers, seasons, and aging, are never-ending, but that’s life. My mother’s parents didn’t have a great marriage and were not a great example of a good relationship. They lost a lot of money in the depression, and my grandmother’s gambling addiction became more apparent the less they could afford to lose. My mother learned early about debt, loan sharks, and straine...

In a season of sparkling extravagance, I have always felt that it is often the simplest gifts that can have the sweetest impact. A box of homemade cookies or candy from a neighbor or friend is always among my favorite parts of this time of year. It is always a delight when I am surprised by a new flavor, or a twist on a classic, in an assortment of holiday treats. These playful cookies have the chewy texture of the best fudgy brownie with a perfectly balanced zip of peppermint. The crushed...

My Perfect Christmas By Emerson Kiefel My perfect Christmas would be waking up on my own at exactly 8:00 in the morning. My family is already awake and ready to open presents. Snowflakes fall from the sky as we open them around our wonderful Christmas tree. After a while, my sister and I decide if we have a snowball fight and have one. After our snowball fight, we would go to our cousin's house to celebrate at 12:00 pm. When we get to the house, my family and cousins are arriving there, and we...

Ten Years Ago December 5, 2013 What would you do with an extra day? The members of Dayton’s First Congregational Church decided they would use it to provide care, comfort and hot food to the community. So on February 29, 2012, Pastor Marj Johnston and her congregation provided their first free community soup and bread dinner. “It was meant to be a simple meal,” Johnston said. “A safe place and good, hot meal. We wanted to create a place of welcome at a time of year when people tend to be isolate...
In the period between Thanksgiving and the winter holidays, I often find myself seeking lighter, vegetarian recipes to counter the season's decadent feasting. This flavorful chili, with walnuts, bulgur, and lentils, is as satisfying as it is full of nutrient-rich ingredients. A wonderful, and quick to prepare dish that is sure to impress your favorite vegetarian or vegan friends, though your omnivore friends will love it too. Also, this is a comforting and healthy recipe to have on hand when you...
WAITSBURG - The foodbank at the Waitsburg Resource Center (WRC) was visited again this year by Stephanie Hinchliffe's first-grade class. The generous students donated 119 items weighing 95 pounds. Ginger Brown, a member of the WRC, said, "They did a great job and surpassed this year's goal and deserve a shout-out for being rockstars." Returning the favor, the WRC puts together goodie bags for the Waitsburg K-12 students each year. This is an annual tradition for the Resource Center, and one...

My father's family is the epitome of a blended family. The "blending" began around 1939, before the description "blended" became common. The "cliff notes" version of the blend: My father's parents had two children, my father and aunt. They were young when their mother died, and their father remarried; there was one son from that marriage. Later, their father died, and their stepmother remarried a widower with three sons. All of this occurred long before my parents married. As youngsters, we all...
