By C.J. Lindsay

Hello everyone and welcome back, I hope you all had a great week and enjoyed the holiday. This week I thought I would talk about something we all have in our cupboards and that is vinegar. Most households have your normal white vinegar. It is great to use to help dye eggs at Easter, clean glass and is great in cooking. It helps add acid to certain foods.

It is not as common as it once was to have homemade treats. Grabbing a box mix for cakes and brownies at the grocery store, especially when there are so many varieties available, has become the norm. 

The first cake mix was Betty Crocker’s Ginger Cake mix in 1947. Brownies, however, have been around much longer.

With school starting and the family getting back into a perhaps earlier and more hectic schedule than was kept during the summer, it may seem like there is not enough time to make a homemade treat to welcome the kids home. 

St. Louis Blues Swizzle

While contemplating a drink for kids, I came across a recipe for St. Louis Blues Swizzle in my favorite cookbook; a handwritten family book of recipes that were written anywhere from 1970 to modern times. 

I am uncertain why this drink is named St. Louis Blues Swizzle. This recipe is a non-alcoholic drink that does not have much in common with a St. Louis Blues cocktail.

At the Carbon County Fair Food and Refreshment Center, there are some delicious choices of meat dishes to enjoy. The brisket and pulled pork truly melt in your mouth; a favorite of customers, according to Travis Moore, County Commissioner, other than when he is cooking and serving food at the Fair.

The mysterious origins of the Hendricks Gibson

By Mike Armstrong    

Writer, Carbon County Comet

A Gibson cocktail is a hybrid martini as it is made today.  Instead of olives, cocktail onions were introduced around the 1950s as the garnish. It was popular for a time in the 1960s but disappeared in the 1980s. It is rare for bars to carry these small pickled cocktail onions any longer.
