DAVENPORT—Brian and Stacy Graham purchased six acres of farmland in 2017 with the goal of turning the largely run-down structures on the property into usable buildings for family and livestock use. That goal took another step toward reality when the Heritage Barn Register awarded the Grahams a $20,000 grant to fix the roof of the main barn on the property, which has been damaged over the years due to age and weather deterioration. Brian Graham said the barn was constructed in...

January is a good time to try new recipes. In theory, life has slowed, the holiday rush is past and winter weather keeps us indoors. Since our last column I have tried a number of new recipes, most successful. Recipes for one or two is a frequent recipe request. Recipes are most often designed for 4 to 6 servings or in the case of muffins, 8 to 12, leaving a single person eating the same thing for a week. Blueberry Muffin for One, a bakery style muffin from One Dish Kitchen,...

Crazy weather, causing extended travel delays has cleared area store shelves of a number of often-used ingredients. Items with a short shelf life are quickly bought up and stores wait for fresh orders to come in. What can the meal planner do? Plan ahead for grocery supply interruptions. Substitute ingredients for missing items. Keep a package of powdered milk on hand in case stores run out of fresh milk. Canned milk diluted maybe substituted in most recipes. Canned kidney or...

Cooking for a crowd can lead to leftovers. Hosts want to make sure there is plenty for everyone, and if the number attending is in flux, estimating amounts is difficult. At family gatherings, the host usually wants plenty to send home with the kids. “Planned-overs” is the term I prefer to use. Over the years I have collected a few recipes for make-ahead dishes using turkey and ham dinner planned-overs. If you happened to have planned-over prime rib, the solution is easy, pri...
1 years ago Dec. 30, 1921 One hundred years ago, Odessa residents were gearing up for the New Year’s Eve dance sponsored by the American Legion.

Wow! What a year. 2021 might not have been topsy-turvey and tumultuous as 2020 for many people, but it was still full of thrills, scares, joy and in some cases, heartbreak and hardship. It only seems appropriate that the forecast calls for single-digit, potentially record-low temperatures in the last week of the year, doesn’t it? Many went into 2021 with a positive outlook, and for many, it was a vast improvement to 2020. Students stayed in school nearly the whole year. Sports...

Pinterest and Facebook often put me on the trail of good recipes and interesting culinary stories. Young cook, Koren Hale, prepared Chicken Enchiladas for his Spanish class last week. His mother posted a photo of him on Facebook doing the preparations and reported he found the recipe on Pinterest. Easy to prepare, this is a great recipe for a family dinner or potluck meal. With adult supervision, even the youngest of cooks could enjoy making this recipe. Chicken Enchiladas 4...

Editor's Note: An abbreviated version of the Harrington news was submitted this week by a friend of Marge Womach, who is under the weather.

Turkey leftovers should now be safely tucked into your freezer for later use. At this date, any leftover turkey in your refrigerator is probably past its prime for eating and should be disposed of. Cooked turkey may be used in almost any dish calling for cooked chicken. Spicy White Chili, a recipe I received from my late sister-in-law, Tammy Bubemyre, is equally good with turkey or chicken. Additionally, dicing the meat cooked from the turkey carcass may be used in...
