A good recipe must include a good set of instructions

Hello! People, I am positively “on a roll.” Just heard from another nice lady with a great sounding recipe! I hope you tried the Tomato Pie last week, because I have already had some favorable comments on it. I surely would feel guilty if you tried a recipe I gave you and had to feed it to your dog. If you ever do, it will be my fault because the great people at Times-Tribune have never made a mistake in the ingredients of any recipe I have sent. One time, years ago, I gave a recipe for Chinese Chicken Wings — readers were a bit suspicious when a recipe for 1-1/2 lbs. chicken wings called for 2 cups honey and 4 cups soy sauce!

I tried a terrific sounding recipe last week for chicken breast, which I had high hopes of sharing with you. It was pretty expensive, calling for ingredients I never have — herbs, cheeses, dried tomatoes in oil, etc. Didn’t take me long to know for sure that I wouldn’t be sharing that stuff with you. I’ve been eating on it all week rather than throw it out, but every bite gets a bit less appetizing; don’t think I can take much more.

I’ve wandered a bit, as usual. The sweet lady who shared her recipe is Barb Lisowe of Lily. She said she got it from a Wells family in Hyden years ago and forgot about it. Her church recently had a dinner and she dug out this recipe, made the casserole, and everyone wanted the recipe. Many thanks, Barb!

Zucchini Casserole

2 Zucchini, cubed

1 lb. hamburger, browned and drained

2 onions, chopped

1 box Stovetop Stuffing (pour right out of box as is)

1 can Cream of Chicken soup (she mixed in 1/2 can water to thin it some)

2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

Put Zucchini in bottom of baking pan, sprinkle hamburger and part of onion over that; then layer stuffing, soup, rest of onion and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.

From actress Faye Dunaway — “You can’t take responsibility for everything; you don’t have that kind of control. At some point, it’s all out of our hands.” 

So, just live like the Willie Nelson song, “laugh when you can, and live with the rest.” 

All of my profound thoughts, or most of them, come from other people, I must admit, but does that make them less profound? I think not! Let’s meet here again next week, alright?

    “Intolerance,” “Battleship Potemkin,” “Gone With the Wind,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “War of the Worlds,” “South Pacific” and “Casablanca,” seven movies that come to mind when I think of fine, well-made, popular and award-winning films.

    “Thou shall have no other gods before me” [Exodus 20:3] is a clear directive. Our Maker rightfully deserves a paramount and exclusive love, honor and adoration.

  • Ronnie Ellis.jpg Redistricting plans equally indefensible

    I don’t know how Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd will rule in the re-districting case. Nor am I a constitutional attorney, so I can’t say with any authority the maps drawn by the Democratic controlled House to benefit Democrats or the one drawn by the Republican Senate to benefit Republicans are constitutional.

    “Rethink Possible” is AT&T’s current marketing motto. Government’s dictum, on the other hand, is “Regulate Possible until rethinking possible becomes impossible.”

    Looks as if winter will be just a whiff of cold weather and maybe a bit of snow. February is here, though, and I’ve experienced quite a few bad snowstorms in that month.

     I spent a day with a high-powered, high profile friend who mentioned that more than 700 people a year ask him to help them get a new job.

  • 0602 Tim Mills And you will help... right?

    I began writing a series of columns this month about the country of Haiti. I did so to highlight the two-year anniversary of the earthquake that occurred on Jan. 12, 2010. By writing this series I hope to engage a new group of people to see their role in making a difference in a country and for a people that so desperately need our help.

    “How would you feel if your surgeon were operating on you while he’s talking on a hands-free phone?” are the words of Amy N. Ship, M.D., professor at Harvard Medical School. Ship is convinced that many do not understand the risk of using a cell phone while driving.

    You know, if the problems we face weren’t so serious and threatening, the state Capitol would be about the most entertaining place one could find.
