Brownies....

Brownies = Chocolate = Tastebud Joy!

Here is the recipe for the brownies that were served at our Ladies Night. It is a lovely recipe as it is quick, easy and a crowd pleaser.

2 1/2 cups flour

3 cups sugar

3/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup baking cocoa

1 cup Crisco

1/2 cup butter

6 eggs

1 Tablespoon vanilla

1 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Stir the flour, salt and cocoa together in a small bowl and set aside.

In mixing bowl beat Crisco, butter, sugar and vanilla together until just smooth. Add eggs to the sugar mixture and beat till just blended. Now add dry ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Spread batter in greased 9x13. Bake at 350 for 25 or 30 minutes or until barely done. Don't over bake, a toothpick should come out just barely clean when tested in the center of the pan. Cool on wire rack.

Cold is the air and sharp to the nose.

Biting through wool and onto covered skin

Azure blue and gray steel

Withered arms of trees ripple against the sky

Dark and somber without the softening of leaves

But joyously dart the sparkles of sun

Bringing with them the silent tremble of thunder

The wonder of creation

Enfolded in the sounds of winter.

North Idaho

Admit it! This is one of the most beautiful places on earth...and we are blessed to have the chance to live here.

You need it? We've got it.

For those who didn't grow up in the Northwest there is a vague understanding of the huckleberry. They don't understand the sense of anticipation that starts around mid July, the hands twitching as they limber up to grasp buckets; as the huckleberry pickers start getting out their camping things and heading to the hills to stake out favorite hunting grounds.

The magic is coming and you had better hurry to be a part of it. Perhaps this year (you transplants from other lesser-places) is the year you will come to a place of being one with the huckleberry. Get up get out and try for the mountains, climb those steep hights, slide down those ravines and step on that wasps nest. And as you gaze on your bucket brimming with purple-red berries peace will wash over your soul and the aching muscles will relaxe.

But if in your hurry you run out to the woods unprepared don't worry Pro X is here. We have many of the things you need to carry out a successfull berry raid.

Buckets, Bug spray, Charcoal briquettes, Lighter fluid, Tarps, Rope, Matches, Wasp and Hornet spray. And the best of all? Metal screen sold by the foot. To make your very own berry cleaning slide!!
