What glorious weather we had the weekend of the 12th. I went for
a seven-mile walk up in the Ridge Sunday night and with the warm wind
was actually able to wear shorts and a T-shirt and no coat. I hung clothes
on the line at 4 p.m. and they were dry by 7 p.m. Don’t you just love the
warm windy weather?

Do you love leftover turkey but want something new to try besides
just reheating leftovers? How about sweet and sour turkey with rice? In
medium- sized saucepan combine 1/2-c. packed brown sugar, 1/2-c. chicken broth,
1/4-c. lemon juice, 2-tbsp. soy sauce, and 4-tsp. cornstarch. Cook and
stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in
3-c. cubed cooked turkey, 20-oz. can pineapple chunks packed in
juice, drained, 3 medium green onions, diced, and 1/2-c. chopped red bell
pepper. Heat through. Serve with rice and sprinkle with 3 more green
onions, sliced, and 1/4-c. chopped peanuts.

I love to bake but hate recipes where I have to beat sugar and
butter together. If you warm the beaters first by running them under hot water
for one minute, they soften the butter and make blending easier.

Brian and I went up and looked at the Snoqualmie Falls while the
rivers were high and got soaked all the way through from all the mist. I love
looking at the Falls but never seem to get up there. I guess we all tend to
take our local attractions for granted. The Falls are quite an awesome sight
when going full blast.

It happened this week: The White Rabbit appeared in 1865
when Lewis Carroll produced “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” the
“Price is Right” game show debuted in
1956, and the “Grand Ole Opry” made its radio debut in Nashville in 1925.

Eggnog is now available in the store. Have you ever tried French
toast made with eggnog instead of milk? Yummy! And if you use French
bread or sourdough bread … double yummy. Sprinkle some powdered sugar
over the toast also.
