COOK OF THE WEEK - BARB ADAMS

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/11/2014 - 7:28am

How many people out there LOVE to mow their yard? That is exactly the word Barb Adams used when she shared with me some of her activities and hobbies. She said, “I LOVE to mow my yard.” She also does her son’s yard out in the country. She loves being in the quiet of nature, she told me. Barb Adams started her life in Emerson NE, and graduated from Emerson-Hubbard High School. She met her late husband, John, while working at the Nebraska State Bank in South Sioux City, NE. She was the only single girl working there at the time when this new single guy was hired to also work at the same bank. All the employees kept trying to get them together but Barb says, “I ignored him for a couple of years!” After a couple of years they did start dating and ended up getting married June 1, 1969. Barb’s mother is Helen Oetken of Madison, SD. Her father is deceased. John was raised in Humboldt and graduated from the Humboldt High School.

COOK OF THE WEEK - RHUBARB RECIPES

Submitted by admin on Wed, 06/04/2014 - 7:27am

Last week I didn’t have time to call or interview anyone for Cook of the Week. This week I called between five and 10 different people and everyone declined to be the Cook of the Week. So this morning when I was picking rhubarb for freezing, I decided, “I know what I will do, I will write about RHUBARB and share some really good rhubarb recipes.” Of course all of my recipe books are gone being cleaned of sooty residue, so I borrowed a few recipe books from a friend and my mouth was watering the whole time I was reading recipes. And I can’t even cook any of these until I’m back in my home and have a kitchen and stove to work with! There are really a lot of different recipes that rhubarb can be used in. Rhubarb is actually a perennial vegetable, though it is usually used as a fruit in desserts and jams. You only eat the stalks, which have a rich tart flavor.
