Ready

By Tanya Pike

I have a crush on old, run-down pick-up trucks. Not that I especially want one. But, they are useful in their own ugly way.

Lower 48 Funny Cake Pie

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 1, 2009 - 4:53pm

Lower 48 Funny Cake Pie

The only guess as to the name of this pie, or is it a cake, is that no one north of the lower 48 have ever heard of it. Actually, with one ingredient change its technically the Upper 48 Funny Cake Pie, as you will soon discover. Despite that, it's pretty taste and easy to mix up.

Top ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup applesauce

2 egg whites

1 teaspoon baking power

1 cup whole wheat flower

Guest columnist: Saying goodbye

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 27, 2009 - 5:06pm

By Tanya Pike

I have a friend who has been through a very tough year. His mother and stepfather died within days of each other. Less than a month later his house burned and was a total loss. He works crazy bad hours - 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. with three days on and two days off, seven days a week.

Yet, in the midst of all this badness, he has never lost his gentle spirit.
