The first two contestants, wearing matching cowgirl outfits, danced together before leaping from the stage...
Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year. This makes celebrating with dinner out more feasible on the holiday than when it falls midweek. For others, ball games, work schedules or just not wanting to navigate the crowds, means preparing meals at home. With a little ingenuity, you can still make the meals special. Cutting cheese slices, lunch meat, even the whole sandwiches in heart shapes is a fun treat. Heart shaped cookie cutters may be used to cut brownies, Rice K...
A bit of sunshine teases us into thinking winter is over. February and March have yet to come. Winter is not done so we might as well make the most of it.

Winter weather and hot meals go together. Meatloaf, casseroles, soups and stews, top the list of requested recipes, whether one is using a conventional range, slow-cooker or insta-pot. Jessica Torres shared the recipe for Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf she recently found on www.thestayathomechef.com. The recipe gives instructions for oven baking, but it works equally well in a slow cooker. The mozzarella cheese and seasonings give a pizza like flavor. Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf...
[Editor’s note: Pat Gamache of Odessa continues the story of his dealings with the medical profession and battles with addiction and illness.

[Editor's note: Pat Gamache of Odessa continues the story of his dealings with the medical profession and battles with addition and illness. Last week's issue left off with Pat hearing a song on the radio that prompted him to find out more about it.] There it was, Chris Rea’s “Texas.” I loved to drive and it’s a driving song. I guess that’s why it was stuck in the far reaches of my mind. I found out that Chris Rea is from England and writes a lot of songs about driving and also Christian music and love ballads. One is called...
[Editor’s note: Pat Gamache of Odessa continues the story of his dealings with the medical profession and battles with addiction and illness. His earlier submission ran in the 2019 issues of October 10, 17 and 24.] I saw a doctor (not here) about a chronic sinusitis issue from my head injuries, and asked him to explain to me why my antibiotics had made a big improvement to my pain level, digestive issues and more. What I got was the addiction stigma and the “you’re a walking dead person” attitude. He questioned all the med...
December is the month in which we celebrate not only the birth of the long awaited messiah, but also the foundational fact of Christianity that the second person of the Trinity became fully human while in no way ceasing to be the eternal Son of God. We sing “ Joy to the world, the Lord is come,” and who is this Lord, the babe in a manger? The Son of God come down to us in human form. Jesus, being born a man does not result in his becoming two persons possessing two identities and wills in one body, but one person with two...
December is the month for stocking up on baking supplies. Stores offer many items on sale for the season. It is the best time to purchase spices, as even on sale they can be quite expensive and unless you do a lot of baking, they get old and flavorless before you can use them up. Consider adopting some Spice Buddies. These would be several of your friends. Share the cost and the spices. For instance, Lebkuchen calls for one teaspoon of ground Anise seed. Three or four bakers...
Thanksgiving Day is one week away. If you are the head cook for your family celebration, you may be planning how you will pull it together. Delegating salads and other side dishes to others in the group takes some of the work load, but there are many dishes needing preparation the day of.

Fall weather has ended production in most Odessa gardens. Time to use up the last fruits and vegetables you braved the cold wind to rescue before the killing frost. My mother would always make an “End of Season Vegetable Soup”, which is essentially the same as “Sweet Bell Pepper Soup”, the recipe I tried this past weekend. The addition of bacon adds an extra savory flavor. Sweet Bell Pepper Soup 6 large green, red or yellow sweet bell peppers 6 cups grated zucchini or yellow...

Did you know September 13 is World Sepsis Day? I know I didn’t. I wasn’t even aware sepsis needed a worldwide day of recognition.

Or on September 10, if you woke up feeling festive you could have celebrated National Boss/Employee Exchange Day, National Hug Your Hound Day, Pet Rock Day, Swap Ide...
