Fix It and Forget It Cookbook by Dawn J. Ranck and Phyllis Pellman Good, 2000 3 Searchlight Recipe Book, Household Magazine, 1945 4. Best of Country Cooking, Rei...

Often we don’t understand the ways of God until we look back and see the whole picture. For example, we didn’t understand why God sent a young girl out of “juvenile detention” to live with us and become our daughter. It was a very difficult season of our lives, having our 10-month-old handicapped son Treg with all of his challenges. We were in the throes of building a new church and young couples were coming in and then God sends us this young girl who quickly became a big part of our lives. Don’t think we didn’t go through...
Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 1/10/13: Tomorrow the USDA bombards us with their latest round of reports including monthly supply and demand, quarterly stocks and final corn and soybean production. The reports will be released at 9:00 a.m. local time instead of 5:30 a.m. as they have been previously. That will leave the market a short three hours to digest the news before trade closes for the week. Six out of the last six January reports have produced a limit move in corn futures, three...

Cook what you eat, and eat what you cook. Could this be your resolution for 2013? With rising food costs, meals take a bigger bite out of the family budget. Wasted food increases the cost, with no benefit to family or the budget. According to a CNN report, August 12, 2012, American families throw out 25% of purchased food, amounting to approximately 20 pounds per person a month, totaling from $1,350.00 to $2,275.00annually for a family of four. The article goes on to speak of...
Snow on the ground, the last days of school for the year, company coming and the bustle of the season seems to make kitchens the hub of activity. Let’s start off with an easy but a bit unusual, Apple Cranberry Salad, quick to prepare at a moments notice, from ingredients you can keep on hand. I came across this recipe in my dads recipe box. It was written out in his own hand using a fountain pen, but no notation of where or when he got the recipe. My guess would be around 1...

Byron Behne watches the grain markets for the Odessa Union Warehouse. 12/7/12: Chicago wheat futures lost 2.5 cents this week. However, soft white prices improved 11 cents since last Friday, due to increased export business highlighted by last weekend’s Egyptian buy. It seems like the prices in the rest of the world have risen to the point where soft white is once again competitive in these larger tenders, which bodes well for our prices moving forward – versus the other classes of wheat anyway. Tuesday next week the...

The feast of Thanksgiving is upon us, and as we gather with family and friends to give thanks and celebrate, let us not forget the Thanksgiving part. Here is a quick way to create a visual reminder of all we have to be thankful for. Take fall colored construction paper and cut into strips about 5 1/2 inches by 1 inch. Gather up some fine point marking pens and a stapler or two. Throughout the day or even the several days around Thanksgiving encourage everyone to write things...

Christ Lutheran Church had repairs made to its bell tower this week Monday. Marlon Schafer donated the use of his cherry-picker truck, so workmen could install a shield to hold the crumbling edges of the tower's top surface. Pastor Tim Hauge and others from the church congregation were on hand to oversee the work and help out wherever they could....
Several requests for sugar free recipes have come in over the past two weeks. The holiday baking season is fast approaching, and folks who have recently been diagnosed with diabetes or pre-diabetes are struggling to find suitable recipes to replace traditional sweets. I have found that it is best to use recipes developed by the sugar free sweetener companies, as each product is a bit different, and none of them cook up the same as granulated beet or cane sugar. Splenda.com...
