Joanne Niswander: Talk about it

Posted by Fred Steiner on January 22, 2010 - 11:41am

By Joanne Niswander
As some of you know, my husband Dean passed away just after the first of the year. It wasn't unexpected. He had been in Mennonite Memorial Home for the past 15 months.

In addition to physical problems that kept him in a wheelchair, he had Alzheimer's disease. And that is what I want to talk about.

Ron Lora: A country boy reflections on water

A Country Boy Reflects on Water

I grew up on a farm in good country. A creek ran through the southwestern corner of it. A creek is a natural waterway larger than a run but smaller than a river. In romantic lore, poets have celebrated the rivers of the earth - the Rhine and Danube, the Volga and Don, the Tigris and Euphrates. In Allen and Putnam counties it's the Riley, the Blanchard, the Auglaize and Ottawa of which natives speak. So close to home, those small waters seldom rise to the level of romance.

Black and white salad

Posted by Fred Steiner on January 18, 2010 - 5:56pm

Black and White salad

For that potluck dinner - or just for home:

Wash and cut into bite-sized pieces a head of cauliflower.

Open a jar of medium or large black olives, drain.

Mix both together with 1/3 cup of Hellman's Mayonnaise.

DO NOT use another Mayo - it won't be as good!

That is it - gets better as the hours pass - if any is left over.

Issue #8
Okami
Developer: Clover Studios
Publisher: Capcom
Platform: Playstation 2, Wii
Rating: T for Teen

I mentioned Hideki Kamiya's masterpiece Okami in my Holiday Buyer's Guide before Christmas, but I won't let that preclude the full review this game deserves. And what better time than now, with Kamiya's newest game, Bayonetta, being released Jan. 5.
