Hot weather, when temperatures reach one hundred plus, can slow garden production. Zucchinis seem to be the exception, powering through with regular production, though the skin maybe a little thicker. These hot weather summer squashes are ideal for bread, cake and cookie making, as they are a bit dryer. Garden to Table Cookbook, by Kayla Butts, is a recent addition to my collection. All the recipes are based on items you would grow in a garden or home orchard. Dark Chocolate...

Note: This is Part 1 of a sermon from July 4, 2021 and is slightly adapted from the original. Part 2 will be in next week’s issue of The Record-Times. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! Today’s Gospel (Luke 5:1-11) is the miraculous catch of fish and the calling of Peter, James, and John as “fishers of men.” It’s not a sermon or a parable but a history, so it does not teach us directly by words of instruction but indirectly by words of example. It has much to teach us, but the main...

DAVENPORT - The small schoolhouse structure seen today outside Lincoln County Museums looks a bit different than it did originally but stands proudly on the museum grounds serving as a window into the past. Its history spans many decades and if it could talk, would tell stories covering over 140 years of local history. The schoolhouse was originally built in Fall 1879 as a homestead cabin by William McRedmond (whose father, Luke, founded the city of Redmond) along with his...

Somethings are better, made the old-fashioned way. When I was young and learning to cook and bake, my family, like most, did not own an electric mixer.

Additionally, they learned room temperature butter is about 66 degrees, for proper creaming of...
