What’s Cookin’ in Canadian

My friend Debbie, who lives outside of Dallas, served me a steak prepared this way when I visited several years ago. Unforgettable. We were chatting about food the other day (What else do you talk about during a pandemic except your next meal?), and she said she prepared the dish recently, and it was delicious. In a Paris Bistro, it is traditionally served with French fries. This recipe calls for filet mignon, but I think that any good lean cut of meat cooked this way would be delicious. Enjoy!

The Postscript: Hummingbird Curfew

My husband, Peter, is fascinated by hummingbirds. This year has been a difficult year for hummingbird watching as there has been a lot of competition at the feeder. First, the ants wouldn’t leave it alone. Then, a bear smashed the feeder to bits.

I want to give many thanks to the Canadian Church of Christ for designating volunteers to help clean and condition our saddles on display. Larry Dyess’ merry band of volunteers did an outstanding job and was very pleasant to visit with. The museum’s saddles represent local works of art (Reid Errington, saddle maker) and rodeo achievements (Clinton Hill with bronc and bareback riding). Our oldest saddles date back to the early 1900s from Wiley Wright and Laura Todd Nix (side saddle). Now, I am not a country girl, so I never learned proper saddle care; nor was saddle care taught in my museum studies courses. So, having real cowboys help with the saddles is much appreciated.
