Fresh strawberries and rhubarb has our mouth watering for all things summer. Blueberries and raspberries cannot be far behind. Though berries are available year round, shipped in from southern climates, locally grown is always best, even frozen for later use. Merleen Smith made Baked French Toast for a recent community potluck breakfast and the recipe garnered many requests. Berries, Texas Toast and lots of brown sugar make this a yummy treat anytime. Merleen said she got the... Full story

A family of soon to be 15 members has recently taken up residence in the backyard of Tammy Tokas. A male and female quail have built a nest beneath Karen Carlson's (Tokas' sister) outdoor chimenea and laid 13 eggs. When the weather starts warming up it's not uncommon for Karen to build a fire so she and Tammy can sit outside and enjoy it. Imagine her surprise when she went to move the chimenea in order to mow the lawn and discovered the nest and eggs beneath. She quickly sat... Full story

Lots of recipe requests came in from a recent community potluck meal. Kerry Scheller brought Mexican Corn Bread Salad to the event and she received many requests for the recipe and chose to share it here. The secret to this recipe, I believe, is corn bread muffins. They have more crust surface and this makes the salad more substantial, not soggy as some cornbread salads get when they sit for awhile. This is a layered salad you can make several hours ahead of serving, ideal... Full story

The most important historical event for Christianity is Jesus rising from the dead. Over the years many skeptics have tried to explain away the resurrection. Why? Because Jesus rising from the dead is the proof that He is who He claimed to be (God in the flesh) and that He can do what He said He would do (grant us forgiveness of sins and eternal life). If Jesus did not rise from the dead then He was a liar and a false teacher, prophet, and messiah. The problem the skeptics... Full story
The 2019 Odessa Healthcare Foundation’s annual wine tasting, microbrew sampling and auction is rapidly approaching. We look forward to an evening of fun and celebration, all in service of advancing healthcare in Odessa. The proceeds from the 2019 auction will be used to purchase a 12-lead ECG/defibrillator/monitor for the Odessa ambulance. The ambulance currently uses an automated external defibrillator, which simply gives instruction to shock only if the patient has a shockable rhythm. By contrast, the new equipment is f...

When I asked the “Welcome to My Kitchen” Facebook page followers for favorite spring and Easter recipes, one response I got was ice cream, no recipe, just favorite. Weather is still a bit chilly for the ice and rock salt routine of an ice cream maker, but Rocky Road Freeze, might fit the bill. Frozen in your refrigerator freezer, you can make it several days ahead. This and all the recipes this week are from Taste of Home, Best of Country Cooking, 1999 issue. This volume seems...

This is the second year I’ve happily donated the balloons and my time to build an arch for Go! Odessa Recreation’s Third Annual Daddy-Daughter Dance. Since this year’s theme was the circus, Kaylene James, founder of Go! Odessa Recreation, had the idea of a yellow and white popcorn- inspired arch coming out of large popcorn bags. I thought since popcorn shapes can be pretty random that an organic garland, rather than a traditional arch might be more fitting. [Note: Organ... Full story
The first buttercup of 2019 was a long time coming, but that harbinger of spring has now been found and submitted to The Record by young Simon King, son of Alex and Kaci King of Odessa and a Kindergarten student at P.C. Jantz Elementary School. Simon found the bright yellow flower on his family's ranch just outside of Odessa. Our area's blast of cold weather with snow and sub-freezing temperatures through much of February and March certainly delayed the flowering of many... Full story
What was the best gift you remember receiving as a child? I'm not talking about obvious big-ticket gifts like a car or computer. I'm talking about a gift given to you when you were in grades 1 through 7, a gift that kept you not only physically active but also able to use your imagination. For me, it was a Christmas gift from my parents right around the time I was in the sixth grade and 10 years old. It was the Adventure Buggy! The Mighty Off-Road Adventure Buggy, made by Tonk...
