Show B2 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, July 8, 2008 The HOME PAGE Home Life Swell Recipes Book Reviews Movie Reviews Entertainment SWELL RECIPES Kristine Story Enjoys Being a ‘Heritage Cook’ Kathy Ockey Kristine Story likes to cook and husband, Dwayne Story, enjoys reading. Kristine likes to read in the summer when she isn’t teaching school and has more time to read, and Dwayne is also an expert at cooking lamb. We have combined the two for delicious recipes and a review of a good book. Kristine Story learned how to cook like many other good cooks – from her mother, Merene Humphrey. She also helps to continue the area tradition of “The Humphrey Lamb Fry and Scones”. Kristine said she likes to cook, especially for her family. None of her four children are now at home, so when they do return she tries to cook their favorite dishes. When daughter Christy returned from her mission they had fried lamb and scones – even though it was in the middle of the winter. She said it is also hard to scale down the amount of food she cooks for her and her husband, Dwayne, after cooking large portions of food for so many years. Kristine said when Joe’s Valley Dam was dedicated her father, Mark Humphrey, suggested serving lamb and scones for lunch. This was a huge undertaking with several hundred people expected for the meal. Her mother created the recipe for the scones, and the “Humphrey Lamb Fry” was started and has continued throughout the years with the children carrying on the tradition. Kristine’s mother was known for her scones and other delicious dishes, but her father’s specialty was Honey candy. She said she makes it, but not like her father and anyone who had his honey candy know how delicious it is. When asked what was her favorite dish to cook she said it depended on the time of year, “Soup when it is cold, and lamb and scones in the summer”. Following is Kristine and Merene Humphrey’s scone recipe and also her father’s honey candy recipe. Humphrey Sourdough Scones This recipe makes a large batch (100 scones) 4 cups milk, scalded 3 cups starter (Recipe below) 2 tablespoons sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons soda 1 tablespoon yeast 2 tablespoons salt 1/2 cup oil or melted shortening Enough flour to make soft dough, about 7 cups.

Add yeast to the mixture and more flour. Beat well and let it stand for 20 minutes. Add flour to make soft dough. Knead. The more you knead, the better the scones it will make.

Cover and let stand at room temperature for 48 hours or until it starts to ferment and has a slightly sour odor. Store tightly covered in refrigerator. Do not be concerned if liquid separates from batter after standing for several days. Stir only when removing starter or replenishing batter. Do not store starter in aluminum, only in Crock, glass or plastic jar. Each time starter is removed, replenish with 1 cup flour and 1 cup evaporated milk, then let set for 48 hours or until it becomes bubbly; at least 12 hours. Starter may be frozen. 2 cups sugar 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup water Pinch of salt In a heavy saucepan, combine all ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved. Then cook over medium-high heat, stirring as little as possible, to 260 degrees on candy thermometer, or until a little mixture dropped into cold water forms a hard ball. Remove from heat and pout onto buttered, shallow pan or platter to cool. When cool enough to handle, pull with buttered fingers until taffy is satin smooth and ropy. Cut into bite-size pieces with buttered scissors and wrap in wax paper, if desired. Makes 1 1/2 pounds of candy.

Catch A Movie Close to Home! Early detection helps in fight against prostate cancer Prostate cancer affects millions of American men, with one in six being diagnosed with the disease during his life. But, thanks to early detection and sophisticated therapy, only one in 35 will die from it. Awareness of prostate cancer has risen dramatically in the last decade, and more than ever before, average American men are taking steps to detect the disease. Unfortunately, for the medical community, determining the appropriate screening and treatment process for prostate cancer has become highly contentious. In recent weeks, a new published report shows that for older men, aggressive treatment may not be warranted. What’s more, the cancer may not need treatment at all. At a recent genitourinary cancer conference, Dr. Grace Lu-Yao of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey reported that for older adults, therapy does not necessarily lead to longer life expectancy. Researchers followed 9,000 older men (average age, 77) who were diagnosed with localized prostate cancer, but elected not to receive treatment. A decade later, less than 10 percent had died from the disease. And the average life expectancy of those who did receive treatment was more than 10 years. The bottom line: Treatment or not, the end result was very similar. Based upon this observation, the researchers now recommend older men to not rush to treatment if prostate cancer is diagnosed.

He said he reads very fast and can also comprehend and retain what he has read. When he was young he was zipping through the pages of a school book and his father quizzed him on what he had been reading. His father was amazed that he could grasp the subject matter so fast. Dwayne is currently reading a series of books by W.E.B. Griffin. This author has written several series of books, including a spy series, police series and a Marine Corps series and Dwayne said he would recommend any of the books by this author. Dwayne is currently reading “The Saboteurs,” part of the Griffin spy series. He said it is about World War II and Nazi’s trying to infiltrate the United States and attempting to make Americans aware of their presence. He said it is a thriller and hard to put down. Dwayne especially likes history books and particularly those that go into historical detail. He also said the Orangeville librarians are very accommodating and call him when they get a new book they know he would like. His wife, Kristine, is amazed that he can watch television, read at the same time and know what he has read. |
