As I write this column on Sunday afternoon, it is a beautiful day outside. I think it is warmer outside than in my house. February is always a fickle weather month. It will feel like spring one day and snow the next. Our plan is to stay in the house as much as we can.
We are going way south of the border with this week’s recipe. The Milanese (in Italian “cotoletta alla Milanese”) is a dish common in South America countries. The Milanesa was brought to South America from Italian immigrants between 1860 and the 1920s. This dish is also similar to the German or Austrian Wiener Schnitzel.

Sitting at his antique roll-top desk, Tex Luther was a mirror image of the miniature replica of Rodin's "The Thinker" perched on one of his shelves.
I could tell he was in that zone of creativity we preachers get into sometimes. Knowing how rare those moments are, I felt reluctant to disturb him.
Norman V. Horner is a retired educator who doesn’t really care whether folks call him “Dr.” or not. His distinguished career--plus his 40 articles in professional journals and his leadership in scholarly organizations--suggest that he’s been worthy of his degree for a long time.

These cookies are the product of several “makeovers” by different folks around Texas. The original recipe began life in the Episcopal School of Dallas recipe book from the early 1980's. But it seems like everyone who made the cookies found that the recipe needed a little tweaking and as it passed from hand to hand it may have lost its original intent, but the resulting cookies are absolutely delicious!
Ingredients:
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons A/P flour, divided
2 cups quick oats

I was proud of my new ranch bedroom clock. Push a button and the digital numbers lit up in the dark of night, big and bright enough that even without my glasses I could read them.
The only problem was-the alarm didn’t work. But I figured I could live with that small defect.
A Texas automobile driver was “tooling” down a rural highway on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Most motorists had already reached destinations, or maybe decided not to go. He felt alone, not another vehicle in sight on a long stretch of pavement.
Suddenly, flashing lights in his rearview mirror were strong indicators that he wasn’t alone.
If you're a chocolate lover, these large, soft, fudgy, chocolaty cookies will be right in your wheelhouse. If you aren't a chocolate lover, anyone around you and near and dear to you, and who are chocoholics, will be your best friend forever. Or at least until all the cookies are eaten.
After many months of drought. January has been kind to us with snow and several rain events. My yard has a tinge of green showing. We are so grateful for this moisture. Hopefully the spring flowers will appreciate this water and will be beautiful this year.
Don’t forget to bring two dozen cookies on February 7 for teacher appreciation day.
Class Meetings continue on Wednesday evenings at 6.
Happy Birthday to Charlie Leamons on January 30 and to Tina Ceynowa on February 1.
My family moved to Mason in 2005, and we subscribed to the Mason County News for 2 years before the final move, when we were "weekenders." I always read the articles about the Scarlet Punchers and told myself, "someday...". As a dog trainer (now retired), one of the things I did in with my therapy dogs was visit nursing homes every week, before and after we came to Mason.
