I’ve been under some stress lately. I’ve written a novel, and now, I have to wait to find someone who thinks it’s worth publishing.

A great one-skillet dish for summer. My Houston cousin fixed a variation of this dish, which I found on cafedelights. com, using green olives instead of basil. I was delighted with the simplicity. You can put your own touch it, using an herb mix, basil, olives, OR all of the above! Enjoy.

CANADIANS LIKE TO CLAIM that we hosted the first rodeo in Texas, but Pecos, Texas, has also long claimed the title of First Rodeo Town. I haven’t had the opportunity to review their “evidence,” but our documentation of the first rodeo in Canadian shows that 1888 was the year we started this annual celebration. Although we may not be the “first” rodeo in Texas, no one could argue that ours is one of the best celebrations around, and it has been since the beginning!

Special guest Robb Holladay wowed kids and grown-ups alike at the Hemphill County Library on Monday with his Amazing Magical Balloon Show, featuring fantastical balloon sculptures, mind-bending magic tricks, and a whole lot of laughs. Following the library’s summer event theme, “Oceans of Possibility,” Holladay used balloons to create nautical wonders, including a yellow submarine, a wearable set of scuba gear, and a sea monster hat complete with crazy eyes and a stuck-out tongue.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING, for as long as I can remember and with limited success, to learn Spanish. My husband, Peter, says I am good, but that is because he does not speak Spanish, so if I say anything that is understood by anyone, he regards it as a minor miracle.

This recipe from www.cafe delights. com creates the crispiest wings without deep frying! Perfect for a party or for dinner. I cannot wait to try this recipe that uses baking powder to create the perfect wings. Enjoy!
