Summer side dishes are in demand with warmer weather finally arriving. Barbecues, picnics and other outdoor events calling for a dish to share fill calendars. Salads are an easy, portable choice for such events. Pasta, vegetable and potato-based salads often utilize items already in your pantry. Summer Rice Salad is a nice change from the traditional macaroni salad. I developed this recipe several years ago when needing a gluten free salad, and a suitable gluten free pasta was...

Cool and rainy weather makes for a productive rhubarb year. I was asked how to freeze rhubarb so it works well in recipes. Freezing rhubarb is easy. Just slice or dice to desired size pieces, spread on cookie sheets in a single layer and freeze. When firm, package in airtight containers and return to the freezer. Using frozen rhubarb requires a little attention to detail. For most recipes, do not thaw before using. Using in the frozen state will keep the end product from being...
REARDAN--Mule Days was a very joyful event this year. The class reunion was well attended with over 350 people in the huge tent outside of Smith Gym.

The parade had over 60 participants, with the Deer Park float taking first place and the Davenport float taking second. Deer Park's float was themed "Fun All Around"...

Rhubarb and asparagus, early spring produce offerings, are in abundant supply currently. Those who pickle asparagus should plan to get this done soon, as asparagus season will be winding down. Rhubarb is just coming into peak production and will last until hot weather arrives. Asparagus is a great addition to spring garden salads. Some folks like asparagus raw, sliced thin in salads, but parboiling really brings out the flavor without sacrificing crunchy texture. Sesame Aspara...

HARRINGTON – The local burn pile was a concern discussed during the city council meeting on May 11. “The burn pile after we re-opened it about a month ago has turned into a dump,” Mayor Jess Silhan said. The pile has consisted of more than just green waste including shingles, nails and various other eco-friendly materials. “The first problem this year was that the burn pile was not burned for about three years,” Silhan said. The town worked for weeks burning the pile repe...
