MOTIVATIONAL WORDS

Success is speaking words of praise,
In cheering other people's ways,
In doing just the best you can,
With every task and every plan,
It's silence when your speech would hurt,
Politeness when your neighbor's curt,
It's deafness when the scandal flows,
And sympathy with others' woes,
It's loyalty when duty calls,
It's courage when disaster falls,
It's patience when the hours are long,
It's found in laughter and in song,
It's in the silent time of prayer,
In happiness and in despair,
In all of life and nothing less,
We find the thing we call success.

COOKING TIP - Deglazing a Pan

Deglazing is accomplished by adding a small amount of liquid to a pan in which foods (usually meats) have been browned or roasted and stirring the liquid while scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve all the delicious "brown bits" stuck to the bottom. The liquid can then be spooned over the finished dish or used as the base of a sauce or gravy. Deglazing has the added benefit of making cleanup easier because much of the cleaning of the pan is done by the hot liquid.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RECIPES

Appetizer Meatballs
2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Watkins Onion Flakes
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Granulated Pepper
Dash Watkins Garlic Powder
Dash Watkins Cayenne pepper
1 package (32 ounces) frozen fully cooked homestyle meatballs

In a Dutch oven, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, thaw meatballs in microwave according to package directions. Stir into sauce; simmer meat balls in sauce for several minutes so they absorb the flavor. Yield: about 6 dozen.

Bacon and Onion Stuffed Mushrooms
24 whole snow cap mushrooms
Original Grapeseed Oil
2 tbsp/30 mL Bacon and Onion Snack and Dip Seasoning
8 oz/227 g cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp/30 mL finely chopped green onions or chives

Remove stems from mushrooms; brush caps with oil. Stir seasoning into cream cheese; fill opening where mushroom stem was removed with mixture. Bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees F/180 degrees C for 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with green onions or chives. Makes 24 appetizers.

Broccoli Cheese Soup
1/4 c Watkins Cream Soup Base
2 T flour
1/4 t Watkins Dry Mustard
1/8 t Watkins Onion and Garlic Pepper
Dash Watkins Cayenne Pepper
2 1/2 c milk
1 c water
1 pkg frozen broccoli, thawed, chopped to desired size
1 lb Velveeta cheese

Cut Velveeta into cubes. Combine all dry ingredients in a medium saucepan. Add milk and water and mix well. Cook over medium-high heat stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and add Velveeta. Stir until sauce is smooth. Add broccoli and simmer for 10 minutes. Makes 6 servings. You can use other vegetables in place of the broccoli (asparagus, cauliflower, and potatoes.)

Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla Extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
1/2 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup strawberry jam (optional)

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Using an electric mixer set on high speed, cream the butter and sugars in a large bowl. Lower to medium speed and add the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture on low speed. Beat until incorporated. Fold in the rice cereal and peanuts.
  2. Form the dough into approximately 1 1/2 -inch balls. Place on parchment- or foil-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Gently press the cookies with the back of a fork to create classic hatch marks. Use your thumb to create a shallow well in the center of each cookie and fill with a spoonful of jam, if desired.
  3. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks. Makes 4 dozen cookies.

BIRD WATCHING

On one of my bird counting days for Project FeederWatch I was watching and counting the birds at my feeders. A wren and a chickadee were both pecking at the suet. The chickadee was a little more aggressive and frightened the wren a short distance away. The wren was not about to give up and continued to reach for the suet. Then, the chickadee seemed to deliberately break off a chunk of the suet, bend over, and drop the suet to the ground. The wren swooped down, grabbed the suet, and flew to some nearby shrubs to devour its tidbit.

Visit my birdwatching blog California Birdwatching - Chickadees, Juncos, and Jays Oh My!.

The 2008-2009 Project FeederWatch Bird count season is over. My personal bird count is summarized at my California Bird Watching Blog. We also had two very unexpected visitors to our backyard last week. See a picture of our surprise visitors on my blog.

Visit Project FeederWatch for more information and to find out how you can become a citizen scientist and count the birds you your own backyard!
