Guest columnist: The night from hell

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 23, 2009 - 4:41pm

By Tonya Pike
Last night about 8:50 p.m., I heard two men's voices floating up the stairs. I was up reading in bed and A. was watching TV. The voices sounded at first like they were coming from the front porch. I heard A's laughter, so I wasn't too worried. It continued for a few minutes and the voices sounded closer. Sammy, our dog, was barking a bit wildly so I thought I should go down and investigate. Since I was wearing my pajamas, I put on a sweatshirt and headed downstairs.

When I got to the landing I was horrified.

Guest columnist: Heaven on a spoon

There are oodles of foods that bring back strong memories of my childhood. Until I was in high school I'm quite sure that I had never eaten a biscuit that was born out of a can, a pie crust that had ever encountered a freezer, a cake that had been conjured from a cardboard box or an entree that didn't have some kind of fresh, frozen or canned vegetables that hailed from our garden.

A very early Bluffton Halloween story

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 20, 2009 - 12:34pm

With Halloween on the horizon, let's hear your best Bluffton Halloween story.

While this isn't my most frightening, it's still a good one. Before you say, "Well, that's just an urban legend," remember that this story took place before the term urban existed. Concerning a time line, we're talking 1870s. So, it makes this one the oldest known Bluffton Halloween-type stories. I have no doubt that this really happened.

It was told to me by "Link" Hauenstein (I never knew him by any other name) circa 1978.

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 19, 2009 - 12:03pm

Here is my favorite, quick-fix supper:

1 pack whole wheat wraps
1 pack shredded broccoli slaw
1/3 c. dry roasted peanuts
2 boneless skinless chicken breast 1/2's
1T olive oil
1/3 c. hot sauce

Cut into strips and stir fry the chicken breasts in the oil in large skillet 5 minutes. Add broccoli slaw and stir fry 5 more minutes. Add peanuts and hot sauce and stir fry 3 more minutes. Warm wraps in paper towel in microwave 30 seconds, divide meat mixture into wraps and roll up. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
