Show B2 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, June 10, 2008 The HOME PAGE Home Life Swell Recipes Book Reviews Movie Reviews Entertainment SWELL RECIPES Good Cooking from One Generation to the Next Kathy Ockey Our recipes last week were given to us by Myrleen Sitterud and this week’s recipes were provided by Myrleen’s daughter, Laurel Johansen, proving that good cooks run in the family. Laurel and her husband, Scott, live in Castle Dale and have raised three daughters and two sons with their youngest daughter, Michelle, living at home now. They also have the distinction that five of their grandchildren are 2 years old. Scott is presently serving as the Seventh District Juvenile Judge in this area. Laurel has the same problem most people now have – she is very busy. She works three days a week as a nurse at the public health office in Castle Dale and is the chairman of the Emery County School Board. Laurel loves to cook and she and her daughters send good recipes they have found back and forth to one another, giving each one a star rating. She said her daughters are gourmet cooks and she likes to cook the basic, classic foods. She compiles a cookbook each year of all of their new recipes and sends it to her daughters and also other family members and friends. With her busy lifestyle Laurel said she likes to make and keep items handy in the freezer. She said it is nice to have these dishes prepared because they have a lot of family and friends that are often in their home, and that her husband is notorious for bringing people home for a meal. She can take items from her freezer and quickly put a nice dinner on the table. Laurel said she loves to read cookbooks and try new recipes but her family always requests the same dishes when they are home. Laurel remembers going to her Grandma Edna Sitterud’s home in Orangeville each Sunday for her delicious hot rolls. Her grandmother had 14 children and all of her family would gather at her home each week for these baked treats. Laurel couldn’t remember how many pounds of flour she used or how many rolls she made each week, but she said it was a large amount. Following is Laurel’s favorite roll recipe. She would like people to have it because she is A asked so often for it. There are also several others she would like share. 12-Hour Butterhorns “I am often asked for this recipe” 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/4 cup warm water 1/2 cup canned milk 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 eggs, well beaten 4-5 cups flour 1/2 cup butter, melted Soften yeast in warm water. Combine melted butter, milk and water. Stir in sugar, salt and eggs. Stir in softened yeast and enough flour to make a soft dough. Cover and allow to raise in cool place for 5-6 hours.

When it comes to a book that continues to bring back many fond and touching memories, for 14 year old Mandy Davis, one of the books that has touched her most has been Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. The 1961 classic about a boy and his dogs growing up in the Ozark Mountains has touched countless readers. What do you like about Where the Red Fern Grows? Q A Q A Q A Q A Q A Q A butter.

YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN In real life, you don’t mess with Adam Sandler, who stars as a hummus-loving, indestructible Israeli commando in the raucous and ribald, crude and surprisingly sweet “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan.” In this comedy Sandler is a superhero Israeli assassin who is tired of all the violence. He’s forced into action one more time in order to capture a Palestinian terrorist dubbed “The Phantom” and played by John Turturro. Problem is, Zohan fantasizes about becoming a hairdresser. His foray from Israel to New York (after faking his death) ends up in Brooklyn, where immigrant Israeli and Palestinians live uneasily in the same neighborhood. Soon, he gets hired at a Palestinian-owned salon and, of course, falls for the proprietor (Emmanuelle Chriqui). This movie will please fans of Sandler’s softer films (“The Wedding Singer” and “50 First Dates,” for instance) yet it still delivers the vulgarity and sex his groupies come to expect. “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan”; running time 1 hour, 53 minutes; rated PG13; 3 stars. KUNG FU PANDA - In this animated tale, Jack Black lends his voice to Po, a clumsy and overweight bear who loves snacking yet longs to be an elite kung fu fighter. It looks like DreamWorks Animation has taken a cue from the superior storytellers over at Pixar: “Kung Fu Panda” is about a lot more than kung fu, and it’s also more than a place for Black to unleash his over-the-top zaniness. Po is a waiter at his dad’s noodle restaurant who has an unhealthy obsession with the Furious Five fighting team. Despite his girth, Po dreams of being just as brave as Tigress! Viper! Mantis! Crane! Monkey! With a cast that includes the voices of Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu and David Cross, “Kung Fu Panda” takes us on a physical and spiritual journey toward making Po the best fighter that China’s ever seen. “Kung Fu Panda”; running time: 1 hour, 35 When the mountain lion attacks Little Ann. How did the movie compare to the book? I liked the movie, but the book is much better. How often do you read? Editor’s Note: Correction to Peach Pie recipe in the June 3 edition of The Emery County Review: Peel and slice lots of peaches and add to pie filling. Put in baked pie shell and bake peaches until done. Serve with whipped cream. minutes; rated PG; 3 stars. THE STRANGERS - “The Strangers” has an apt title: You’ll most likely leave the theater wishing never to meet anyone involved in the film’s production. This low-budget slice of soft-core torture porn hits the trifecta of horror-flick no-no’s: It’s artless, it’s humorless and it’s unimaginative. If you’re looking for a masochistic meal, try again. This is oatmeal. Though it’s about as sharp as an antique butter knife, at times “The Strangers” approaches watchability in a minimalist, “Blair Witch” kinda way. “The Strangers.” Running time: 1 hour, 30 minutes. Rated: R. 0 stars. Star Fun Center Grill & Arcade Monday - Saturday 11:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.
