[Editor’s note: Pat Gamache of Odessa continues the story of his dealings with the medical profession and battles with addiction and illness. Our December 19/26 issue in 2019 left off with Pat coming out of his shell and making end-of-life arrangements. Continued from last week. Time to concentrate on my wife and where we wanted to spend my last days. As far as I was concerned I needed nothing more than a cave to live in. Material things meant nothing anymore. My wife hadn’t worked in a year! We were trying to survive on $1,...
Christmas is coming! Programs, concerts and parties fill days, along with gift shopping, and celebration meal planning. Meanwhile, in all this, the family needs to eat three meals a day.

[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. For many Thanksgiving diners, gravy is the most important item. Will there be enough and will it be smooth and creamy, seasoned just right? The good news is, you can make gravy ahead. Former...

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...
Kay Kenyon will appear at the Odessa Library on Saturday, October 12 at 1 p.m. to sign her latest work and chat about women who worked undercover during the world wars. Although we know the names of only a few of them, these women’s stories inspired the author while writing her fantasy espionage trilogy the Dark Talents novels, set in 1936 England and continental Europe. At her signing, she’ll chat about a few of these remarkable women like: Pearl Cornioley, a leader of the French Maquis and Krystyna Skarbek, the fea...
Deutschesfest is in the books for another year, and most of us have had our fill of German food for awhile. During all this festivity, the late peaches and tomatoes have ripened, and cucumbers and zucchini are making a last ditch effort at production. Following are recipes to help you take advantage of this early fall bounty. Zucchini have enjoyed the rain and quickly produce huge fruit. Impossible Zucchini Pie can be made with any size zucchini, as it is grated for this...
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. In fact, Monday, September 9, was Wonderful Weirdoes Day, Opposite Day, Wienerschnitzel Day and if none of those suit your celebrating mood, there are even more you can choose from. 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...
Deutschesfest is less than a week away. Many have already baked Kuchen, strudel and other German treats in preparation for the Odessa Historical Society Bake Sale and Fest Platz vendor sales. New this year on the outdoor stage is a Kuchen Contest. Kuchen is a relatively easy recipe to start your venture into Deutschesfest food preparation. Kuchen base is a soft yeast dough and the filling usually consists of a cream mixture, plus any fruit you like, but there are many variations. Sugar Kuchen is as basic as it gets and the...
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...
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...
