Thanksgiving will soon be here. By the time this issue of The Record Times is in your hands most area cooks in charge of the Thanksgiving meal will be planning the menu and making a list of tasks to do ahead. If you are planning cornbread dressing, you can make the cornbread several days ahead. Any gelatin salads may be made up to two days ahead, as can dinner rolls. Many side dishes reheat well in a microwave, saving on precious oven time and space. Before we get to the Thanksgiving recipes and tips, if you are planning on p...

"His creativity and attention to detail made his pumpkin the clear favorite," Sheriff...
Fall weather, cool nights and sunny days call for end of gardening season recipes. Squash and pumpkins are fully ripe and a light frost has hardened the rinds for long winter keeping. Soups and stews are common fare in area slow-cookers and savory breads and luscious desserts round out menus. Crustless Pumpkin Pie from the website Cupcakes and Kale Chips, is a gluten free recipe, more like a custard than pie, but very rich and smooth. The recipe calls for canned pumpkin but turns out beautifully with 1 2/3 cups cooked...

OTHELLO – Thursday at 8 a.m., people were lined up at the Othello Christian Church, waiting for Second Harvest and Othello Food Bank to set up and distribute free food to the small rural community. It wouldn’t be for another two hours, however, that they would see the food banks pull in to set up. Second Harvest – a nonprofit that supplies a network of partner food banks in 21 counties in Eastern Washington and five counties in North Idaho – has been traveling to Othello and partnering with Othello Food Bank, as well as othe...
For the past few decades, the clearest path to a comfortable middle-class career in America has been through college. Research shows individuals with degrees earn more on average than those without one. Even as wage premiums for those who earned college degrees have decreased slightly since the COVID-19 pandemic, in the 21st century, individuals with a degree earned 68% to 79% higher average wages than those with a high school diploma, research from the Federal Reserve Bank...
PASCO — Pasco is looking for ways to bring a splash of color and culture to its downtown streets — and could transform the area into a new hub for murals. An initiative led by the city’s Arts and Culture Commission will reimburse business owners up to $5,000 if they get murals painted on their buildings by the end of December. The last big mural painted downtown was the Community Hope Wall at the site of a 2015 police shooting. A man walks past the original Community Hope Wall mural on the side of the former Vinny’s Bakery...

A lot of people like to make New Year’s Resolutions at the start of January. It’s a new year and a chance to start fresh. A good time to plan to lose a few pounds, workout more or spend more time doing something you enjoy or value. I’ve always felt like September can be a great time to do this as well. Children are heading back to the classroom to start a new school year. The change in seasons is right around the corner. The summer heat is ending and the cold, dark days of winter are not yet here. And when it comes to faith...
One of my favorite seasons is quickly approaching-- the fall season. Fall brings so many wonderful aromas and colorful tree leaves, fun events such as county and state fairs along with fair food, Deutschesfest, apple cider, homemade apple strudel, and sporting events like football and volleyball. This is also a time of season when things start to change. The weather gets cooler, tree leaves start to change in color and begin to fall from their branches. We put away the shorts and t-shirts and don our warmer outerwear. Typical...

August brings county fairs and community celebrations. Many eastern Washington communities have a German influence and have favorite dishes that remain a staple in area menus. Traditional cabbage rolls may evolve to include extra ingredients and dough based recipes such as ranza, bierocks and kuchens come filled with non-traditional fillings. Cabbage rolls are a popular item at a German food court. Heritage Church members serve the following recipe during the September Deutschesfest. Other recipes use chopped cabbage in...
