Spring has had enough cold weather and it is time to warm up just a bit. Spring is a wonderful time to get going on
all those items you were going to do. Look
what is coming next month. In May, the

Michael Adamick. This is a wonderful
time to support our local volunteers.

This leads into June with the Peach Tree 23 Yard Sale. The

preparation for that big weekend?
This Saturday a group of students from Clemson who has studied
our town will meet with interested people on ways to help attract tourists to
our area.
Jeanette
Carr saw me and was kind enough to share her recipe for Asparagus. You need a
nice bunch of asparagus washed and the tough ends trimmed or broken off. Preheat the oven and your flat pan to five
hundred degrees. Roll asparagus in a
small amount of olive oil, salt and pepper.
Bake for ten minutes. Sprinkle
with parmesan cheese and serve. This is
simple but DELICIOUS!!!
Joe
Cal Watson celebrated his 93rd birthday Saturday. He looked great. He had his quilt, medals, and pictures for
all to see. He was delighted with all
the well-wishers. The cookies were also
delicious. By the way, my Sunday School Class of the late 1950s and early 1960s
had a reunion and we walked from Juniper Restaurant to the Nut House
remembering the stores that used to be on Main Street. We are so fortunate to have most of them
filled today with super people.

“The I Hate to Cook Book” by Peg Bracken
Although this 50th anniversary edition of Peg Bracken's bestseller has been updated by her daughter, Jo, references to a bygone day abound. For instance, a candy bar can be had for a nickel. A "good bakery cake" can be purchased for not much more than one dollar, and a bottle of Sauterne is only going to set you back about the same!
Yet, aside from the probability that you're never going to prep a lamb chop or veal (as our foremothers did during a more carnivorous era), time has done little to alter the usefulness of this volume. Indeed, it's retro-delish, right down to the pen-and-ink drawings by Hilary Knight, illustrator of the "Eloise" books.
Peg intended to free up wives (and now, doubtless, husbands-- well, anyone as far as that goes) from being tied down to the kitchen for excessive periods of time. After all, why toil hours fixing a meal that your family is bound to consume in ten minutes? Moreover, you'll savor the time you save. Peg obviously applied hers to an extended cocktail hour, and the more time she could spend with her guests, the better.
Among her humorous, down-to-earth words of wisdom and helpful household hints, she provides:
(1) An entree recipe for every day of the month. Don't overdo a dish, regardless of how good it is, she advises.
(2) Tips on how to handle leftovers. The trick is not to have too many in the first place, she states.
(3) Menus for dinner guests.
(4) Menus for ladies' luncheons.
(5) Menus and nifty ideas for children's birthday parties.
(6) Throw-together recipes for impromptu drop-ins and on-the-spur-of-the-moment occasions.
(7) Suggestions and accompanying recipes for what to carry to potlucks.
(8) Canape suggestions and accompanying recipes.
It's downright amazing what's packed into this suddenly indispensable volume. You feel as if Peg really wanted to help you free up your life in a tasty way, which was not any easier for the housewife of her day, who was expected to entertain at home at the drop of a (pillbox) hat. This new/old cookbook deserves a handy-dandy spot in your kitchen. (Ms Edna Watson gave me this book as a shower present before I married Bob and I loved it!!!)
