Sesame Cheddar Bread
King Arthur Flour Cookbook
This is another interesting bread from the 200th Anniversary King Arthur Flour Company’s Cookbook. In this bread, the combination of the flavors of toasted sesame seeds and sharp cheddar cheese makes it a real standout. The resulting loaf is quite large, so it’s perfect for feeding the masses at that next family gathering you have planned!
Ingredients:
2 cups warm water

Happy new decade everyone! We’re starting the new year off right. The Piatigorsky Foundation Concert is Sunday at 2:00 P.M. at the First United Methodist Church! Evan Drachman, a world-class cellist, and pianist Chelsea Wang will be performing, and if you haven’t come before, you don’t know what an uplifting experience you’re missing.
At the START of the Day…
Time has been bought, answers have been delayed and responses have been hedged as “squirmers” have opted for the “Texas two-step” instead of crystal clear comebacks to probing inquiries.
I’ve “rambled” a bit--again. Let’s shoot for “bullseye centeredness” to sharpen focus on this new year, one when we’re bound to grow weary of ads, speeches and even mere conversations referencing “2020 vision.”
Admission of this probability can rescue ...

Ready or not, we are in a new decade. I thought how much has changed in my life in the last ten years. I retired 10 years ago. I tried my hand at remodeling our home about that time. Just finished the last room a few months ago. I gained a grandson in law and a great grandson.
Sweeping Away 2019!
I am amazed to know that, for most of you, by the time you receive this week's issue, it will be 2020. It will also be the beginning of the 145th year of operation for the Mason County News, in its various incarnations leading up to our current form.
I think I’ll take the back way around
where road is grey and leaves are brown
no fuss I’ll make by neighbor’s window

With furry friend in silent truck
Miles in heels, leagues in knees
I’ll stop beside the woodland trees
To see if my companion’s thirsty
And ponder if my work’s been worthy
then turning back I feel a b ...
The Ice Cowpades
I thought I had heard every sound there was to hear on our ranch. But this was a new noise.
Snuggled under the electric blanket, clad in turtleneck sweater, long-handles, socks, and stocking cap, I was not ready to leave those cozy confines and investigate what was going on in the cold world outside.
But then the strange sound that had awakened me repeated itself.
