I AM THRILLED to be serving our community as the new director of the River Valley Pioneer Museum and excited for the year ahead. I begin my journey here with a very grateful heart for the work that’s been done before me to build such a wonderful facility and collection for our community and guests. I am also deeply grateful for the community that supports our museum through memberships and donations. Our first year participating in the Panhandle Gives campaign was a great success, thanks to you!

I cut this recipe out of the San Antonio Express Newspaper over 20 years ago. I hadn’t made it in years and decided to go ahead and make it for The Record staff. They liked it well enough to ask me to share. It’s quick and easy and can be served for breakfast or lunch. Enjoy.

“You have to mark it off on the list, or I won’t know how many I have.” “Oh. Sorry.” I am less concerned about our supply of canned goods in the new year and more concerned about stockpiles closer to home—on my hips, for example.
