The
5 a.m. barn tour is interesting during winter. One morning mid-January I perched cozily on a bale of straw next to a dangling heat lamp, and snuggled with a pair of month old kids (the goat kind). I took off my gloves to check their ear tips for frostbite, and then walked to another corral to check the ‘close-up’ does. (A doe is a female goat. ‘Close-up’ around our place means very pregnant) Forgetting the ambient temperature was hovering at about eight degrees, and not noticing the gate was rimed with ice, (and forgetting that I was bare-handed)I grabbed it, undid the latch, swung it open..... and couldn’t let go. Check out the events coming up in our valley; a community social, community supper, and Chili Cook-Off this month, and Cowboy Poetry and a fun run in March.

Okay. I’ll admit it. I’m a compulsive editor. It’s almost impossible for me to read a newspaper, flyer, brochure, letter—even a billboard—without mentally correcting misplaced apostrophes, exclamation point overload, and unnecessary capitalization. Here are my major pet peeves and how to fix them— My First Pet Peeve: Blatant misuse of the apostrophe after “S” I recently saw a sign at a local nursery advertising a close-out sale on all annuals, bushes, and tree’s. I’m not quite sure why the writer used the apostrophe for the plural of tree. Maybe because trees looked odd to him? It’s amazing how many times we don’t get it right when using the apostrophe and the letter S. My favorite advice for using the apostrophe comes from Dave Barry’s column printed in the Miami Herald on October 27, 1985. It stands the test of time: The apostrophe is used mainly in hand-lettered small business signs to alert the reader that an “s” is coming up at the end of a word, as in “We do not except personal check’s,” or “We are not responsible for any missing item’s.” He’s kidding, of course. We learned apostrophe etiquette in grade school. As years go by, seems many of us have forgotten it. So here are a few simple rules to follow— 1. Use the apostrophe with contractions (and we’re not discussing the childbirth kind). The contraction of we are is we’re; the contraction of I will is I’ll. The only time an apostrophe is used for it’s is when used as a contraction of it is or it has. Example: The reason it’s unpopular is because of its limited options. 2. Use the apostrophe to show possession. An example: The tree’s leaves have started to fall all over my lawn. How many times do you see it’s used as a possessive? For example: The tree fell on the fence and broke several of it’s posts. You don’t spell hers, his, or theirs with an apostrophe. Why would you use an apostrophe in its when used as a possessive? (Refer to 1 above for the right way to use it’s.) My Second Pet Peeve: Overuse of the Exclamation Point! Have you ever noticed how many exclamation points are in print ads!!? Look around. The advertiser obviously wants you to be as excited as he or she is! Unfortunately, you soon begin to suffer from exclamation-point overload!!! Use exclamation points in moderation!! Try eliminating some of those exclamation points on your advertising or flyer or on your webpages. I’ll bet if you enlarge the type font or use bolding (sparingly, of course), you’ll still get your point across!! (Notice how annoying you find the exclamation points in the above text?) And Finally, My Third Pet Peeve: Indiscriminately Capitalizing Nouns I’m amazed at how often the first letter of a noun is capitalized—even when there’s absolutely no reason. Okay. We learned in school we’re supposed to capitalize proper nouns—specific people, places, or things. We don’t capitalize common nouns—a mere label of a person, place, or thing. Apparently something happens after we graduate from high school or college; some of us forget those rules or even if we know the rules, we lapse into over-capitalization. When to capitalize a word that is sometimes a proper noun depends on the meaning and how it’s used in a sentence. Here’s an example: She kissed the earth beneath her when the hot air balloon landed softly on a farmer’s corn field. Here “earth” is a common noun. The word “Earth” is correctly used in this example: Launched in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent back incredible views of Earth to NASA.
One hour massage for two sharing the same room (Single sessions also available) Gift Certificates Available Call Miracle Hot Springs: 543-6002 When in doubt, don’t capitalize a noun, unless you know for sure it’s a proper noun— or at least check it out on the internet.

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I would like to discuss the foods that warm our hearts, make us feel cared for by that special someone and well.....how do I say this.....get us in the mood. The word is aphrodisiac. An aphrodisiac is defined as a substance that increases sexual desire. The term itself comes from the name of the Greek Goddess of sexuality and love, Aphrodite. In my opinion, the concept of an aphrodisiac is really a powerless one. If you eat this (fill in the blank) you will feel an increased need for affection and be more inclined to be passionate with your partner. So, unless you eat asparagus, bananas or oysters, you may not feel amorous? I disagree. Maybe oysters have some sort of vitamin or mineral compound that increases desires, but if you set a plate of oysters in front of me it would have the same effect as dirty socks. I’ve tried diligently to like oysters, but I just don’t have the ability to enjoy the taste or the texture. I agree with Gilda Radner’s character, Roseanne Roseannadanna, when she described oysters as “tiny little phlegm balls”. My definition of an aphrodisiac would be a food served by or shared with your sweetheart, a food that makes you feel loved or reminds you of experiences you have shared together. My friend, Sarah, describes her husband Matt’s taquitos and homemade guacamole as “falling in love all over again”. They are raising two small children now and life is very busy for both of them. Those taquitos are more special than filet mignon because they remind her of how much she loves her husband. My step-mother, Sandy, comes from Danish decendants and loves chocolate. My father ordered her a chocolate cake from a Danish bakery. He had it decorated with her favorite fresh flowers, daffodils. That’s an example of thoughtfulness and love expressed in food (and flower) form. Nice job Dad! Here’s a Valentine’s hint for all you men out there. For most of us women it’s not about the bouquets of flowers or the boxes of chocolates. It’s the thought that counts. Last summer, I was at my guy Walt’s house having dinner with friends on the patio. Laura and John brought us Eskimo Pies for dessert. (A lovely choice by the way.) Walt went in the house and “prepared” our final course. He brought the pies out served unwrapped, plated and garnished with dried cranberries and chocolate sauce. As he served the pies he exclaimed, “I slaved in the kitchen and made these myself !” Although this was not exactly true, they were absolutely beautiful! The dessert looked like a photograph on the cover of a cookbook. There was just something about his presentation that warmed my heart and I will never look at Eskimo Pies in quite the same way....And every time I see one now, I think of him. Happy Valentine’s Day everybody! Don’t forget to show the one you love how much you care. Here’s a recipe to try if your valentine is a chocolate lover. Idaho Preferred’s new cookbook is available mid-February; email: jane.plainjane.deal@gmail.com for more information.

Chocolate Mascarpone Pie Makes 8 servings 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips 2 cups mascarpone cheese 1 package chocolate wafer cookies 1/2 cup butter, melted 2 cups fresh berries (A combination of strawberries and blueberries works well in this recipe.) chocolate shavings for garnish (optional) 1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons sugar Pour the chocolate chips into a medium size mixing bowl. Place bowl in the microwave and cook for one minute. Stir and place back in the microwave for another 30 seconds or more to melt the chocolate completely. (This can also be done in a double boiler.) Fold the mascarpone cheese into the melted chocolate and set aside. In a food processor or blender, process the chocolate cookies into crumbs. Add the melted butter and process again. Press cookie crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch tart pan. Place the crust in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Remove crust from the refrigerator and spread the chocolate and mascarpone mixture over the top. Place berries on top and garnish with chocolate shavings. (Chocolate shavings can be made by scraping a chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler.) Before serving, whip cream and sugar together with an electric mixture until stiff. Slice pie into wedges and serve with whipped cream. Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted. -Aldous Huxley

Bird feeder + big windows + squirrels = hysterical border collie. This simple equation is why, five years ago, we took the feeder down. Habi, who was three when we adopted her from the shelter, exemplified Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem: “When she was good, she was very good indeed, and when she was bad, she was horrid.” It’s taken us five long, hard, and infinitely rewarding years to tip her to the “very good indeed” which we sensed was in there somewhere, and – to make a very long story very short - the bird feeder went back up in January. It hangs just outside my office window, tucked between a five foot tall Aronia bush, a western serviceberry, and a struggling Hinoki cypress. The house finches took a week to find it, but since then it’s been Grand Central Station. With the thermometer in the deep freeze, it warms the cockles of my heart to see a bustling feeder, though seedeaters like these are well-adapted to winter and don’t really need our help. I feared the worst, though, when Cheryl McCord reported eight meadowlarks in her yard after the first snow. Meadowlarks are primarily insect eaters, and most head south to more insect-friendly climates in the fall. Every year, though, some gamble and overwinter in southern Idaho. In mild winters their bets pay off, but a winter like this is tough on them. This flock has so far made it through two weeks of sub-zero nights and days in the teens. They’ve been working the edge of a field, gobbling bindweed seeds where the snow has blown thin. I never thought I’d have a good word to say about bindweed, but the meadowlarks appreciate it. Your editor emailed me on Jan 22: “While sitting on the couch I noticed a small hawk (Cooper’s?) swooping so I jumped up to the scope and saw a barn owl on top of the neighbor’s horse trailer...As I watched, the owl up-chucked a pellet or dropped a mouse. I waited about 10 minutes then walked up the driveway to see if it was an owl pellet. As I came near the road, a barn owl flew over me from our pines to the tree next to the horse trailer. As I watched him, a prairie falcon (dark armpits) flew over the driveway next to me AND a red tail flew past him into the field across the street! Three raptors in sight at one time - I am not making this up :-) The barn owl left the tree as I neared. I found the owl pellet, still wet. Wow.” Wow, indeed! Glad you were paying attention, Evelyn, at just the right moment! Speaking of which, it’s been too slick to bike to work, so I’ve been commuting on foot. Each morning when I pry my woolly self out into the 6:30 a.m. sub-zero dark, I ask myself “Why?”, and the first frigid mile seems endless, but then everything clicks into gear and I really don’t want the walk to end. Last week, ten minutes from my destination, the first faint morning light burst into radiance; a half inch of frost rimed every twig, catching and “reflecting the rays of the sun in more-than-oriental splendour” (Rudyard Kipling). When I reluctantly stepped into the office, two colleagues were talking. One grumbled “Darn cold out there.” The other grumbled back “Sure is. You couldn’t pay me to be go outside.” I just grinned to myself.

one of their artists. Her artistic endeavors started with woven pine needle baskets. Joyce took a class in gourd art in Boise about five years ago and has been hooked ever since. The teacher, Bonnie Gibson from Tuscon, Arizona, was the pioneer for the carving techniques Joyce uses today. Along with painting scenes onto the gourd surface and wood burning carved designs, Joyce incorporates woven pine needles along with antlers, stones, seeds, cactus fiber, feathers, driftwood, and beads into her gourd designs. She carves most of her designs with Dremel tools, and learned to wear a respirator to prevent allergic reactions to the gourd dust. To keep a ready supply of gourds, Joyce and Gale grow many of them, preferring canteen, bushel basket, and Martin varieties. They grow a different sort each year, to help reduce cross pollination. Gourds ripen on the vine, and heat from lava rocks in the garden help produce heat-loving masterpieces. After harvest, long stems are left in place to assist in drying, which takes about year, and then they are cut open for seed removal, cleaning, and decorating. Joyce’s gourds can also be found at Country Elegance and the American Legion Hall’s Christmas fair in Hagerman.
