How is your pantry? I recently spent a half hour sorting and straightening in mine.

What I did find was the following list of items that need using up in the next month. 1 box turkey flavor stuffing mix 1 gallon home dried apples 1 bottle Thousand Island salad dressing 1 can whole berry...

They crisscross the heavens, long silk threads of white Spun in the bowels of jet engines, of sleek planes in flight Like woven strands of white twine, they cling high in the air I often look up and gaze, in awe and just stare From behind the wings, those thin white billows pour High in the blue yonder, see those Silver Birds soar Like old wagon wheel ruts, they mark up the blue sky And were never before seen, until man learned to fly These trails in the sky, minute crystals of ice Pasted onto the blue, with no pattern...

I do kitchen test all the recipes before printing, as I want to be sure the ingredient listing is correct and it helps me expand the instructions, making the r...

Clear the counters Read through the recipe Assemble ingredients. Gather bowls, pots and t...

Continued from last week “The Schibels.” Don told me “his father changed over to the tractor around 1935 when farming started to improve.” By 1936, farming was better and in 1939 when WWII started, the crops were very good and the price was a lot better than it had been for quite a while.
