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?

    The publishing of the news, blogging of stories, posting of videos and the use of today’s communication tools has really changed the landscape of our world. Thirty years ago, television as we know it did not even exist. The real means of communication was radio.

    If Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes’ calculations are correct, a small number of voters in northern Kentucky could have a big impact Tuesday on the future of the Republican Party of Kentucky. Based on past elections and absentee ballots, Grimes suggests only about 12 percent of voters may turn out.
