TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

UNCOMMON VACATIONS – PART 2 In the first part of this subject we suggested several interesting locations you might consider for a vacation. In this, we will expand on the same idea discussing regions that not many tourists have yet discovered. Ever consider Iceland? Probably not. However, the country experienced a 20 percent uptick in North American travelers in 2014 and already this year it continues to spiral upward. What’s the draw? The whole country is a geological wonder, riddled with hot springs and volcanoes and caves. How do you get there? Several airlines now fly from the United States to the capital city of Reykjavik. One is the nation’s carrier, Iceland Air. It currently offers service from 14 North American gateways including Anchorage, Portland, Denver, Seattle and New York. Delta Airlines also has service from JFK and a new budget carrier, WOW Airlines, flies from Boston and Washington, D.C. Upon arrival, you will check into your pre-arranged hotel and after a little rest, begin to explore the country. Better book lodging well ahead since the hotels fill up quickly during the summer season. Book a tour or rent a car to see the country. The geological wonders are the biggest attractions. A tour will take you to at least three of the active volcanoes where you can photograph the colorful action and later dip into one of the hot geyser spring waters for a relaxing rest. At night, tourists look for the Northern Lights. I saw them once in Alaska and it was a wonder of nature. A tour around the city of Reykjavik is very interesting and will show you how these northern people live.

A LOOK AT BOOKS | ANDY MCKINNEY

Author teaches history lessons in great fashion WOMEN OF THE PLEASANT VALLEY WAR BY JAYNE PEACE PYLE

I thought I had a grip on the Pleasant Valley War by doing some reading and soaking up the historical ambiance from simply living in Rim Country. Ooops, not so. “Women of the Pleasant Valley War” fills in some blanks in my mental narrative and corrects some of what I thought to be right which was wrong. Jayne Peace Pyle presents a massive effort of historical research on a subject that — while covered in other volumes by other authors — remains poorly documented, particularly from the female perspective. Until now. Like a good teacher, she repeats her lessons until the reader gets it. She chooses to illustrate the lives of some 20 women who lived in Pleasant Valley or the environs in the most deadly part of the bloody feud. Since the events of the past

do not change, the telling of each personal story views the same happenings from differing points of view. This allows the teacher to repeat the lesson until we understand the factual events. But each woman’s heartbreak remains her own unique suffering and sorrow. One woman suffered the death of her husband and several sons in the space of a few weeks. She did not stand alone in having her family decimated. Who will forget the young wife and mother to be who stood a siege in a tiny cabin with other adults and children while her husband lay a hundred yards away … being devoured by hogs? The drama of the blood feud cannot be denied nor can the suffering of the women left behind to care for their orphaned children as best they could. As a general reader I have several takeaways.

COVER STORY | TERESA MCQUERREY

Metro Creative Services photos

Make your freezer an integral part of your meal planning and prep system. Good freezer bags and containers are a must to make sure there is little to no loss of quality in the food stored. A clean, organized prep area is also essential to making bulk cooking a benefit and not a burden.

Bulk cooking can make meals easier School is just around the corner, so make a plan now to get the most out of your time. Healthy meals can get lost in the shuffle of busy schedules. Convenience may win out when we are short on time, and it’s hard not to be enticed by the ease of fast food. While this option is certainly fine on occasion, there is a more nutritious solution for time-crunched families. Planning is a big part of enjoying a homecooked meal. Nothing can waste more time than running through meal ideas in your head at the last minute or discovering you have to run to the store because you’re missing a key ingredient. Instead of playing the “what are we going to have for dinner” game every night, which often leads to ordering takeout, spend some time planning your weekly menu — or the meals you will be having from one paycheck to the next. This way you can do the bulk of your shopping in one trip and know exactly what to defrost or have available for a given day. There are a number of websites and even magazines that offer suggested meal scheduling ideas if you need a little inspiration. Cooking in bulk can also help families enjoy more home-cooked meals. By thinking ahead about meals, you can more easily enjoy home-cooked dinners than if you were to wait until the last minute to think about what’s for dinner. Buying in bulk can reduce trips to the

supermarket and save money. When buying in bulk, you can cook perishable foods all at once or store foods for later use. When taking the latter approach, there are certain storage and safety tips home cooks can take to ensure their food stays fresh and safe to eat. Before buying a large amount of food, ensure that your refrigerator and freezer are in good working order. Use a food appliance thermometer to get an accurate reading of the internal temperature of the freezer and refrigerator. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends refrigerators be kept at or below 40 degrees and the freezer at or below zero. A refrigerator or freezer that is too warm can cause the growth of unhealthy bacteria in stored foods and decrease the shelf life of stored items.

tainers. They will also defrost quickly for use later on. Keep hands clean when handling raw foods by placing one hand in a small plastic sandwich bag to grab the pieces of chicken or meat. Then turn the bag inside out on your hand and the piece of food. Place these wrapped pieces into a freezer-safe bag. The double layer of protection will safeguard against the formation of ice crystals and freezer burn, which can affect flavor. Bulk ground beef or turkey purchases are another popular buy. Place in a large storage bag and flatten the ground meat as much as possible. Use a spatula to indent the meat almost through to the bottom in a grid pattern. This perforation allows you to access as much of the frozen meat as necessary.

WASH LATER

DEFROSTING

Wash produce and fresh foods prior to eating. If items are washed before they are stored, the moisture trapped can accelerate spoilage. Lettuce and other leafy vegetables are the exception. Wash these items and drain thoroughly. Afterward, store in a sealed bag with paper towels, which will absorb excess moisture. SEPARATE MEAT AND POULTRY

Individual pieces of meat and poultry should be separated before freezing, as this makes it easier to take out the right portions when defrosting for meals. Small, thin packages will freeze faster and more evenly than other types of con-

The USDA advises to defrost foods properly to avoid food-borne illnesses. Freezing suspends bacteria trapped in food indefinitely. Improper defrosting practices can cause that bacteria to grow. If the food is not cooked thoroughly, illness can result. Plan ahead to defrost foods in the refrigerator. It can take up to a day for this method of thawing, so plan meals well in advance. A cold-water bath also can defrost foods. They should be in a leak-proof package, and the bag should be submerged in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes so it continues to thaw. Small

packages of meat, poultry or seafood — about a pound — may thaw in an hour or less. Microwaves also have a defrost setting. Just remember to cook foods immediately afterward if you defrost them in a microwave. If bulk cooking is a foreign concept, consider the following: What are some of your family’s favorites? Are they fans of spaghetti with a meat sauce, chili, macaroni and cheese, chicken enchiladas? You know what they like. DOUBLE-UP RECIPES

If you find you don’t have time to cook every day of the week, create larger meals that can be wrapped up and served again later in the week. Some foods like roasted chicken or pot roast can be turned into completely new meals with a few additional ingredients. Transform leftover chicken into a pot pie and serve extra slices of roast beef “open-face” with gravy and wheat bread for a fast lunch or dinner another day. If you’re spending time cooking, it shouldn’t take much more effort to double or triple a recipe to ensure you have extra available for a night when you might need to pop leftovers in the microwave. There are lots of resources available on bulk cooking including cookbooks dedicated to the topic and a number of websites. To get some ideas for good bulk recipes beyond your family’s favorites, browse your cookbooks and online recipes. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Rim Country schools resume classes soon (Aug. 3), so to make sure you and your family have the time to sit down together at dinner and enjoy a good home-cooked meal amidst all the activities associated with going back to school, make a plan to start buying and cooking in bulk to get dinner on the table quickly and without a lot of muss and fuss.

Planning key to smooth meal preparation FROM PAGE 6

Make a list of the ingredients that go into your family’s favorite meals. How many use similar ingredients, such as the spaghetti sauce with meat and chili. See what you have on hand for your chosen recipes and then create a list of what you need. Figure out when you will be doing the cooking so you know what will need to be refrigerated or frozen once you return from the supermarket. Next clean out your refrigerator and freezer to make space for the meals you are preparing in advance. Check to be sure you have plenty of good quality freezer bags or containers and a permanent marker on hand. Wait until you have a free schedule and ample time to go to the store to shop for all of your supplies. Shop off-peak hours. Visit the supermarket during off-peak hours, such as early morning or late at night. Avoid Sunday afternoons when stores are often crowded. Shopping during off-peak hours can save you time. Have a list on hand and check off each item as you find it. Cooking in bulk also means you can buy in bulk. Very often bulksize foods are discounted, saving you both time and money. Shop for the staples that are needed for most meals, including fresh herbs, cheese, spices, oil and whatever flavorings your family finds most appealing. Large bags of rice and potatoes also are handy to have available. Separate bulk purchases into smaller

portions. Take the time to divide larger packages of meat or produce into smaller portions more appropriate for the family. Frozen meats will defrost more quickly, and it’s easy to grab just what you need to pull together a meal. Establish a dedicated cooking day — even if your ingredients are properly stored, you don’t want too much time to pass between their purchase and preparing the food you will be storing. Many bulk cookers cook on the weekend. You may be able to have a spouse or friend take the children for the day so there will be no interruptions. Clear your kitchen work surfaces and collect all your prep tools in one place. Gather all items that need to be chopped or sliced and set them aside. Leave ample time to chop or slice, which can take a lot of time. Wash and cut vegetables, then store them away. Cook larger quantities of foods you eat often, such as pasta or chicken. These ingredients can be used in many different meals. Having them precooked or partially cooked cuts down on the cooking time during the week. Think ahead to which leftovers can be turned into new meals. Perhaps those grilled chicken breasts can be turned into fajitas or used as the base of a soup or stew later in the week. If needed, plan to use all of your available cooking resources at once, such as the grill, stovetop, oven and slow cooker. Then go to work.

COOKING FOR ONE OR TWO Seniors face many changes as they move

into their golden years. Downsizing living spaces and vehicles is common, as is implementing certain changes to improve quality of life. Many seniors also scale back in the kitchen, where some must make changes because of medical conditions. While it seems like reducing food portions would be easy, those used to prepping meals for a large family may find it difficult. The following tips can make meal preparation efficient and cost-effective. Many of the suggestions offered for buying and cooking in bulk can also be used by those of us who are just cooking for our spouse or ourselves. • Divide and store. Supermarkets are increasingly offering larger packages of food products as well as “family size” offerings to compete with warehouse clubs. Buying in bulk can help individuals save money, but it may not always be practical for people living alone or with just a spouse. If you must buy in bulk, invest in a food vacuum sealer or freezer storage bags. Immediately separate meats and poultry into smaller portions before storing them in the freezer. Otherwise, look for bulk items that are individually wrapped to maintain freshness. Many canned and jarred items can be covered and stored in the refrigerator after containers are opened. • Plan meals with similar ingredients. To reduce food waste, use leftovers to create casseroles or mix them in with new meals. Broiled or grilled chicken can be used to make soups, stir-fry dishes, fajitas, and sandwiches. The fewer ingredients

you have to buy, the smaller the risk of spoilage. • Cut recipes in half. Recipes can be cut down depending on how many mouths need to be fed. When baking, cutting back on proportions of ingredients can be challenging. Search online for recipe-scaling programs that can make the work easier. There a number of great publications available with recipes already designed to make just one or two servings, for example, “The Pleasures of Cooking for One” by Judith Jones. She is the legendary editor of some of the world’s greatest cooks including Julia Child and James Beard. It is a practical book about the joys of cooking for one. In addition to the recipes and other interesting bits and pieces, there is a chapter devoted to how to outfit a kitchen for singular cooking. The American Test Kitchen group has a cookbook devoted to cooking for one or two and Taste of Home publications has a magazine devoted to the topic. • Cook on the weekend. Use a weekend day to prepare food and package it into small containers in the refrigerator or freezer. Then the containers can be taken out as needed and heated quickly in the microwave for fast meals. • Organize a meal-sharing club. Get together with a few friends who also have empty nests and split cooking duties. If you’re accustomed to cooking larger portion sizes, do so and then spread the wealth with others in the group. Then sit back and relax when it is your opportunity to have meals delivered to you.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Don’t gnash those pearly whites because you might have to delay your plans. This could give the Lucky Lamb a better perspective of what’s been done, and what still needs doing. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Scoring financial bull’s-eyes is easy for the focused Bovine who knows the ins and outs of the marketplace. But even with your success record, caution is still the watchword. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Watch that tendency to over-romanticize a situation that should be given closer scrutiny. Better to be suspicious now and ask for an explanation, or face a sad surprise later. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bruised self-confidence can make things difficult unless you accept the fact that you have what it takes. Ignore the critics and concentrate on believing in yourself. Good luck. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Congratulations on what you’ve accomplished. But this is no time to curl up for some serious catnapping. Your rivals are probably already working on plans to overtake your lead. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your adventurous side wants to play a more dominant role this week, and you might want to oblige. Try to arrange for some getaway time with that special person. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Taking logical approaches to pesky workplace issues can help resolve even long-standing problems. A shift in policy might catch you by surprise. Be alert to signs of change. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your kindness and compassion are exactly what are needed in dealing with an awkward situation in the early part of the week. Share the weekend fun with family and friends. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Keeping your focus straight and true is a good way of getting your points across. Save any variations for a later time. The musical arts are important this weekend. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Reject advice to cut corners in reaching your goal. Better to take a little more time to do the job as you promised. You’ll gain new respect for your honesty and integrity. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Don’t allow a troublesome situation to grow so big that it will be increasingly difficult to deal with. The sooner you speak up, the sooner everyone will be able to benefit. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Confronting someone who is making a lot of mistakes could be the kindest thing you can do both for that person and for anyone who could be adversely affected by the errors. BORN THIS WEEK: You absolutely glow when you see beautiful things, and everyone around you is warmed by your light. © 2015 King Features Synd., Inc.

Historian Jayne Peace Pyle spent years researching a new perspective on the Pleasant Valley War — that of the women of the time — the mothers, sisters, wives and daughters of the combatants. She will have this book and others at the Payson Book Festival from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, July 25 at the Payson campus of Gila Community College. There is no admission.

New path to explore oft-told tale provided by Rim native FROM PAGE 5

and an outlaw in Arizona in those days had little significance. Several of the men involved in the lengthy war in one way or another we know to have been killers, and killers outside of the confines of the law. I found it interesting that a good number of people who managed to survive the events in Pleasant Valley lived well into their 80s and even 90s in some cases. The pioneer stock had great strength provided it was not trimmed early on by bullets or a rope. I had no idea that the famous stock regulator Tom Horn passed through this area but he did. Horn had a deep involvement in local affairs and became such fast friends with one of the local men that the Rim Country figure traveled all the way to Wyoming to give Horn a helping hand with his work there. Two dead outlaws resulted from that trip. And because of the few people who lived in the area at the time, the historical characters overlapped and interacted in unusual and varied ways. They knew each other, well in some cases. Jayne Peace Pyle uses the published literature to make her points, but does not stop there. She gained access to family writings and remembrances also. She dug into the press accounts of the events to illustrate what was known at the time. The most appalling fact of all for me was the total helplessness of the legal authorities. With all the many deaths, shootings, ambushes and hanging, not a single person sustained conviction in court. History buffs can meet Jayne Peace Pyle at the Payson Book Festival on July 25 and buy her books there or through the Get A Rope! Publishing company.
