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. Because of the rain, fewer than half of the cars expected for the car show turned up. However, there were several beautiful classis that made the show worthwhile. 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...

ODESSA – This year's Spring Fling has brought back the nostalgia of years past. The Spring Fling of 1996 was one to remember.

The Chamber of Commerce organized Best of the Wurst which was a sausage cook off. There were nine entries in the first annual Best of the Wurst competition of home-made German sausages. The sausages were s...
Welcome to My Kitchen Springtime salads are a refreshing change from winter stews and casseroles. Fresh greens, young onions and radishes topped with a flavorful dressing and served with a dinner roll make a light meal. Add diced cooked chicken, well trained tuna, cooked shrimp or ham for a full meal salad. Salad dressing is nearly as important as the salad ingredients. From simple oil and vinegar to elaborate ingredient mixtures, the dressing flavor enhances the salad ingredient flavors while melding all into a savory dish....
