  • My Kitchen, Your Recipe: Pork with Parsnips and Pears

    A couple of months ago, one of my co-workers, Sarah Berkshire, was talking about this recipe that she was going to have for supper that night. It was Pork with Parsnips and Pears, and it was a crockpot recipe, so it was cooking while she was working. It sounded so good, that I asked her for the recipe.

    She told me later, that although the recipe says you can cook it on the high-heat setting for 5½ to 6 hours, it was much better when she tried cooking it overnight for 11 to 12 hours on the low-heat setting.

  • 'Source Code' is a relief from mediocrity

    Making its way through the mediocrity of March and April film releases, "Source Code" is a refreshing relief.

    Jake Gyllenhaal ("Love and Other Drugs") plays a soldier who is taken through the Source Code to try to find a bomber responsible for a train explosion and to prevent a second, deadlier bomb in Chicago.

    Because this is a whodunit story with a science-fiction twist, everything isn’t exactly what it seems.

  • A Dash of Class: One of Hardin County's finest cooks

    I have been privileged to feature so many outstanding cooks in my column, and today is certainly no exception. Hardin County natives will remember The Park Drive In Restaurant was in what is now Domino’s Pizza and Good n’ Handy Grocery was across the street. The person I am honoring today was an integral part of The Park Drive In Restaurant, Mrs. Paul Ella Bogue, as it was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Bogue. It later became a Tastee Freeze and then Domino’s.

  • These are a few of my favorite things....

    I am a complete movie nerd. I have been since I saw my first movie, “The Jungle Book.”
