Eat dessert first, save room for dessert. Summer brings an abundance of zucchini, many getting a little large for savory main and side dishes. Just the right size to grind for relish, but how much relish can any family use? Pie, one can not have too much pie. Faux Apple Pie could be the answer to this dilemma. Sampling several recipes, I have come up with a version, not too sweet, nicely spiced with a pleasing texture. Peeled and seeded mature zucchini are sliced like apples...

Mac-n-Cheese, a favorite of most kids and many adults, and a staple side dish on most southern cooking menus, has increased in popularity nation wide. Often, one of the first things kids learn to cook is boxed macaroni and cheese. Easy, salty and addictive. In our last session of Go Odessa Summer Recreation cooking class, we made Macaroni and Cheese. The younger group used a boxed mix with macaroni cooked and chilled ahead of time, so only low-heat, stove-top cooking was...

To the Editor: I am writing as a member of the Odessa Historical Society, asking for your help. Our local museum began with much volunteer help many years ago, just as it continues to run today. It has weathered a devastating fire and was rebuilt to be what it is today. We have two main fundraisers per year in which we send postcards to members of the community. One is for the yearly dues. The other is for community baked goods or monetary donations for the annual Deutschesfest Bake Sale. I consider one of the fundraisers...
The annual potluck dinner, with burgers and hot dogs supplied by the Odessa Community Ministerial Association, followed by softball, came close to being rained out, but turned out pleasantly enough, with no one getting wet. Participants and spectators alike appeared to enjoy themselves, especially after it became obvious that the dark, threatening rain cloud was moving away from Odessa, rather than toward it. If you have not participated up to now, you have been missing a... Full story

Her name was Ollie (short for Olivia), and she came into our lives seven years ago in the summer of 2012. She was half poodle, half shih tzu. She was small, blonde, puppy-like and absolutely adorable. We saw her picture on the Odessa Virtual Yard Sale site, immediately fell in love with that face and set up a time to meet her. We had tossed around the idea of getting a dog, though such a small one had never entered our minds. But once we met Ollie, we were hers. There was no...
