Getting Fresh in the Kitchen

My Grannie made this for the family every year.

It’s an Edible Christmas.....Again Ok, let’s start with the good part about edible Christmas gifts. There are people out there in this world, wonderful, talented individuals who have honed their skills down to a science. I’m talking about people like you, Rebecca, who brought me a Cookies and Cream Cupcake today. I had to be by myself for awhile after eating that little piece of bliss with an Oreo baked inside. And you, Joanie, who makes a toffee so amazing, she has to hide it in strange places so it can make it to its rightful owners on Christmas day. (I know, I’ve tried to search for it many times.) We are never disappointed by the flavor of these treats, as we’ve been waiting all year to taste them again. Alas, I must bring up the next topic. Bad holiday food gifts. You know, the ones that you have to pretend you are happy to see again. The fake, overly pronounced response you give the person who concocts this horrible creation, “There’s those treats we wait for each year!” Actual response in your head, “Note to self: Remember to wait until they drive away this year before you throw these in the trash.” I did my usual Facebook poll about this topic and got some great responses. My friend, Alana, remembers the year her grandfather found a ten year-old box of chocolate in his garage and decided to make everyone fudge. Cindy told me about her mother-inlaw’s special creation each holiday season. It’s a brick of cream cheese with jelly on top and served with crackers. Sounds pretty harmless, right? Wrong! Cindy explained it is the same exact jar of jam every year, with a layer of mold scraped off the top before serving!.....And Cindy has been with her husband and that same jar of jam at Christmas for twelve years! My favorite story was from my friend, Melinda. She remembers a neighbor coming over to the house every year with a plate of cookies. This person was a chain smoker, and Melinda said her goodies always tasted as if they were baked with tobacco and liquid smoke! Even though these Christmas gifts are not very enticing, that’s not the point is it? All of these treats are made with love and that’s the important part to remember. And here’s another fact I’ve learned through the years, bad cookies still taste good! Merry Christmas everybody and Happy New Year! So let me present my gift to you this holiday season.

Dorothy’s Wassail 2 cups sugar 2 1/2 cups water 3 cinnamon sticks 1 tsp whole cloves 1 tsp ginger 2 cups strong tea juice of 8 oranges juice of 6 lemons 1 quart apple cider In a medium size sauce pan, combine the sugar, water, cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture becomes a light syrup. Add the tea, orange juice, lemon juice and cider. Mix together and pour into a large pitcher. Place in the refrigerator for 48 hours. Warm up over the stove or in the microwave and serve in tea cups. It’s an Edible Christmas ......again.

Jane Deal is cookin’ up a book! Look for a new cookbook in mid-January 2013;

10th Anniversary of Idaho Preferred Cookbook.

MANY THANKS TO CITY HALL AND ‘SCOTTY”! What a delightful surprise to be called and find the office filled with southern drawls from Tennessee and Alabama! Two grandnieces, with husbands and one grandnephew of one of Hagerman’s founders, Billy Coltharp, had been attending a Western History gathering in Reno and decided to locate the Idaho town they’d heard an uncle had helped found. Their grandfather, Jessie, was Billy Coltharp’s half-brother. I turned them loose on our big Coltharp file and duplicated numerous articles. Our friendship was sealed by taking them out to Billy’s grave…his tombstone reads, “… he was a friend to his fellow man.” He was born in Tippah, Co., Ms. Oct. 31, 1849 and died Mar.4,1933 in Hagerman. For forty years he was an extensive property owner and promoter for this little Valley town. Only five foot six our little Irishman spun his blarney and tall tales. His walrus mustache was stained from an ever present cigar,. He always wore a tie, coat, hat or cap in winter, and changed to his panama straw in summer….a real southern gentleman! When music was needed …he provided a local band to play in the Opera House. I must say I was disappointed that most people stammered…BILLY WHO! Now next time you’re enjoying ball games, our fossil festival, or picnicking in “Coltharp” Park, thank Billy! When the town was founded todays park had a gushing fountain to form

a lake for boating and ice-skating in the winter. The American Legion Hall, was Coltharp’s Opera House where the town gathered for dances, graduations, funerals, weddings, and even movies were shown there. Billy strung the first telephone lines and had one of the first cars. Today’s Masonic Hall was Billy’s saloon, where he lived in two back rooms and also died there. Billy is listed as having attended the first meeting of the Salmon Falls Mining District in 1879, and worked for J.B. Hunt on the Buckeye claim. He and Jack Lane built the original rock section of the store that was to become Morris Roberts Mercantile. He had the first bank in a corner of this store. In 1909 when our present museum was built, it was the First National Bank and he was one of the directors.

Just Show Up! December 2012

Grey November Hike

A friend’s car sports a license plate reading “Show Up”. She explained that the most important action in life is to show up. No matter what your interests, the first step is to just show up. Admiring her wisdom, I’ve adopted it as my motto. It has inspired me to start up new activities and pursue old favorites with renewed gusto. A corollary is “Just Say Yes”. It’s all too easy to find reasons not to do something - no time, no money, no energy, no ability. There are lots of valid reasons to say no, including illthought-out plans and over-commitment, but, overused, it can turn into an insidiously negative approach to life. I’m working on turning “Just Say Yes/Just Show Up” into habits, and am finding that time and energy are more expandable than I dreamed possible. Last week my husband Mike and I took the dogs to the Snake River Birds Of Prey area for an eight mile hike up over a bluff and back along the river. The ostensible reason was to give our rowdy border collie Habi and mellow Australian shepherd Bandit a chance to stretch their legs and exercise their noses, but it was really a chance to practice “Just Show Up” on a somewhat inclement day when the couch and a good book were singing their siren songs. We kept our eyes peeled for wildlife as we hiked, but there were very few birds - a grand total of one lovely canyon wren - for the first six miles. Once we reached the river, the dogs dropped down to the riverbank for a drink. A harrier (aka marsh hawk) popped up out of the bulrushes a couple of hundred feet upstream. Nice...but wait - where was its white rump patch? We pulled out the binoculars for a good look. Holy cow, it was a peregrine falcon! The falcon spent the next five minutes swooping the bulrushes and circling around to swoop again, before winging across the river and perching on the opposite bank and starting to kek-call. The kek is a scolding call, and we weren’t sure if we were disturbing it or it was frustrated by an unexpected turn of events, so we chose to leave then. I suspect, having

watched a golden eagle behaving similarly several years ago, that the falcon had stooped on a flying bird and knocked it out of the air where it fell (dead or stunned) into the bulrushes. By just showing up, we stepped into the middle of a peregrine falcon situation that most bird watchers have never seen. We also reaped the benefit of a blissfully exhausted border collie who had run at least twenty-five miles to our more sedate eight. And, as Frances the Badger once opined (in Russell Hoban’s marvelous book “Egg Thoughts By Frances”): If you look before you go outside in the rain or snow, it looks colder, it looks wetter through the window. It is better when you’re outside in it.

Chris is practicing Just Show Up from her microfarm in Boise, and is enjoying Just Showing Up in her old Hagerman stomping grounds more often these days.

When it comes to boosting the immune system to fight off illness, mushrooms of various kids, have long been a go-to "herb." From Chinese yak herders who noticed their charges' vitality after grazing on mushrooms to Russian peasants who drank mushroom teas, and never got cancer, mushrooms are among of best healers in the world. Reishi mushrooms can increase the production of interleukin, the naturally occurring proteins that regulate cell growth, differentiation, and motility. They are particularly important in stimulating immune responses. Studies show that Reishi can have a number of other positive effects on the body including:

-combat high cholesterol -boost the immune system -combat respiratory diseases -lower blood pressure -tonify kidney and liver -promote anti-aging

United Way Fundraising The United Way of South Central Idaho announced a new and easier way for donors to give, via Auto Withdrawal directly from their checking or savings accounts. In a partnership with First Federal Bank, the United Way offers every donor the choice to have monthly donations drawn from their checking or savings accounts on the 15th or 30th of each month, through a secured system offered by the bank. Funds that are donated to the United Way of South Central Idaho are used to support over 30 local agency programs, including the Senior Centers Meals on Wheels program. All contributions are managed locally, by a volunteer board, and an allocations committee consisting of community leaders. In March of each year, the allocations committee spends 3 days interviewing grant applicants to determine how to allocate those funds to the non-profit 501-c-3 agency programs in our area. For more information about United Way or to sign up for the Auto Withdrawal system, call the United Way office at 733-4922 or email director@ unitedwayscid.org.

Permaculture Coming soon to a farm near you; Permaculture! Onsen Farms in Buhl is starting a permaculture project. Permaculture is a holistic approach to landscape design and human culture. It is an attempt to integrate several disciplines, including biology, ecology, geography, agriculture, architecture, appropriate technology, gardening and community building. Permaculture has been described as a method of ‘permanent culture’ that results in a sustainable and edible home landscape. It uses a holistic approach that includes architecture along with agriculture, ecology, and geography. Imagine fruit trees interplanted with perennial fruitbearing shrubs, composting garden residues, and choosing where to plant something according to its needs and the available natural and local resources.
