Soup is always in season, making it the ideal menu staple for times when we seem to have all four seasons in any given day. Soup can be as easy as opening a can and heating the contents, or involve lots of chopping, sautéing, deglazing, boning and mincing. Dan Wilcox, The Odessa Record website guru, submitted a recipe for Chicken Noodle Soup that falls in the less labor intensive category. Usually I rewrite recipes into the standard formula for recipe presentation, but Dan...
A Mystical Late Winter Sky A chinook from the south, brings warmth to the breeze Naked limbs whip gently, on thin skeletal trees Like a dagger of crystal, a jagged icicle thaws As Mother Nature obeys, her own unwritten laws The earth has lain dormant, for a season or so Now hear the faint trickle---of cold melting snow Like veins in a leaf, miniature rivers are formed Carving canyons minute, in wheat fields, sun warmed Soon the dry gulch runs swollen, with turbulent waters of mud I examine the wild bush---and see it’s s...

Hi, here I am again. Continued from last week “The Schibels.” On 09 April 1919, Henry Schibel married Katherine “Katie” Frick. Katie was age 19, Henry age 22.

Presidents’ Day is February 20th, and though that day commemorates all United States Presidents, we still see the occasional reference to our first president, George Washington and his chopping down of the cherry tree. For many decades, cherry pie was pre-requisite when celebrating his birthday. Cherry Raspberry Pie was featured in the July 2011 issue of Family Circle Magazine. The sweet-tart filling pairs nicely with a half butter, half shortening pastry, and though a bit s...

I am an American because I love my country. One group of people who definitely show they are Americans are the United States soldiers. They fight for our country. There is the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. They defend us. It doesn’t matter where they are or who they are fighting. All the soldiers would give their life for anyone in the U.S. The reason the soldiers go into the Army is to fight for our country, earn the respect of our country and serve our country. Another group of people who show they are Americans are o...

Valentine's Day Thinking about Valentines Day as I often do, as it is my favorite day of the year, I thought about Love. Many poems have been written about love (some from the deepest feelings from the heart, and some I am sure in an attempt to stay out of trouble with one’s partner). What is Love; how is it defined; what does it mean; and, most importantly for poets, what does it rhyme with? Dove rhymes with love, but so does glove. dove: noun 1. any bird of the family Columbidae, especially the smaller species with p...

He was able to work while...
