Pretty cutout cookies are attractive on cookie plates or decorating a tree but require longer preparation time. Molded or drop cookies take less time, but bar cookies are...

HARRINGTON - The Opera House audience was caught up and whisked away by Mel Dalton's "Adventurous Americana" story time Sunday, Nov. 19. What a fantastic trip it was! Dalton is a very talented singer-songwriter from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Her guitar and singing performance touched all our senses. She sang stories that had very vivid, picturesque themes. The rich tones and textures of Dalton's voice and her emotionally interpretive singing style carried us along as we traveled...

Cooking from scratch has allowed a great controversy to pass me by until questions started coming in. Usually, I get a lot of turkey questions this time of year. Pumpkin is currently at the top of the list. Can I use puree instead of solid pack? Is 100% pumpkin the same as puree? Google doesn’t know everything. Grandmother’s favorite recipe from the Libby’s Solid Pack Pumpkin can won’t turn out the same with pumpkin puree. You will need to use 100% pumpkin. I don’t know when...

He has toured throughout the U.S., as well as Russia, Brazil, India and Canada. Having such a world...
