COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL

T
rue confession: We
still live in the dark
ages at our house.
We do not have cable
TV and I’m not on Face-
book. Our television op-
erates off an antenna and
South Lane Television.
So, my conversations
and news are conduct-
ed the old-fashioned way
through telephone, email,
texts, newspapers and
snail mail cards and let-
ters.
I know.
I’m ancient.
Therefore, I’m always
the last one to know about
the latest fad in almost ev-
erything — even food. My
daughter-in-law, Betsy, is
married to my son John.
They live in California
where he’s a church pas-
tor. She teaches 6th grade
and just won the Teacher
of the Year award (Yea,
Betsy!)
Betsy and I talk a lot
about recipes. She and
John share the cooking at
their house but she (and
youngest son Joshua) do
all the baking. Her last
email to me was hilarious.
Her sister Kitty (who
lives in Yosemite) recent-
Dalgona Coffee

BERRY CRINKLE
COOKIES
(From “A Cozy Kitchen”)
• 3/4 cup white granu-
lated sugar
• 1 1/2 cup freeze-dried
strawberries or raspber-
ries, (or a combo)
• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose
flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking
powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking
soda
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher
salt
• 1/2 cup neutral oil
(vegetable oil)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanil-
la extract
• 1 drop fuchsia food
coloring gel, (optional)
• 4 drops red food col-
oring gel
• 1/2 cup powdered sug-
ar (more if needed)
Preheat oven to 350
degrees. Line two bak-
ing sheets with a sheet of
parchment and set aside.
In a blender, add the
sugar and freeze-dried
strawberries/raspberries
and blend until the freeze-
dried berries are ground
up (a few teeny bits of
freeze-dried strawberries
are ok.)
In a medium bowl, add
the all-purpose flour, bak-
ing powder, baking soda
and salt. Whisk together
until combined.
To the bowl of a stand-
up mixer add the sugar/
strawberry mixture and
oil. Beat until light and
fluffy, about 1 minute.
With the machine running
on low speed, add one egg
at a time. And then add
the vanilla extract, fuchsia
food coloring gel and red
food coloring gel. Mix un-
til combined.
Add the flour mixture
and mix just until no flour
speckles appear and the
dough is cohesive (about
30 seconds to a minute.)
Sift the powdered sugar
into a small to medium
bowl.
Using a medium cook-
ie scoop, scoop out balls
of dough, rolling them in
between your palms until
balls form. Roll them in
the sifted powdered sugar.
The powdered sugar
should be on there pretty
thick. Transfer the dough
ball to the lined baking
sheet. Repeat with the re-
maining dough, spacing
the cookies about 2 inches
apart (You can fit about 8
per baking sheet.)
Transfer the first bak-
ing sheet to the oven to
bake for about 10 to 12
minutes, until they appear
crackly and puffed up.
Remove from the oven
and allow them to cool
on the baking sheets for
at least 5 minutes before
transferring them to a
cooling rack.
You’ll notice that they’ll
fall a bit as they cool. Add
more powdered sugar if
needed.

Someone removed all the

When traveling north to-

advisable to hold a little to

be patient and be alert.

‘n’ Tales
Betty Kaiser: Cook’s Corner
New coffee, cookie recipies
Her response: “I love
this! So far, we’ve made
most of them (pizza dough
with real sour dough start-
er) and I’ve had cravings
for carrot cake.”
Well, I was impressed
and surprised. But Dalgo-
na Coffee?
What in the world is
that?
I had never heard of it.
Of course, I’m not real
fond of coffee. I like an
Oatmeal Cookie Chai at
BaDooBaz on a cold day
or an Iced Hazelnut Latte
on a warm day at the
Espresso Bar’n but that’s
about it.
If I want caffeine, I
drink tea or a Diet Coke!
So, I looked up this Dal-
gona Coffee that Betsy was
raving about. Turns out it’s
been around the world for
awhile but only came to
the U.S. in January of this
year from South Korea.
Who knew?
It has taken the country
by a storm so I made one.
It’s easy as can be (just 4
ingredients) but it tastes
too much like very strong
coffee for me. So, I’m put-
ting the recipe out here for
you to try. Let me know
how you like it.
The last recipe is a fun
cookie to go with coffee,
tea or milk. Try one and
let me know what you
think.
Enjoy!

Squirrely situations
This innocent-looking squirrel outsmarted a
world-renowned mathematician (photo by Ila France Porcher)
L
ife is unpredictable with animals. They open our
eyes to what is important, gift us laughter and re-
mind us to “paws” and value the small things.
Enjoy the following four tales that illustrate how
crazy life can become when you open your door to
an animal...
Franck has been hand-feeding peanuts to a squir-
rel, Coco, since 2015. Recently, the little animal did
something extraordinary illustrating its intelligence.
Franck Ph. D., works long into the night creating
high-level software for worldwide business applica-
tions. Afterwards, he sleeps well into the morning.
Sometimes, Coco comes in through his bedroom
window looking for him when he does not appear
early enough, so Franck keeps a few peanuts handy
for such occasions.
One very cold morning, when no windows or
doors were open, the squirrel wanted his treats, but
the bedroom window was closed.
Franck was slowly brought to consciousness by
several light touches to his face. He opened his eyes,
and there was Coco, sitting inches from his eyes. The
ingenious squirrel had found a way to get in, through
some unknown gap, found his way to Franck and
awakened him by gently touching his face with his
paw.
If there is one thing Franck relates to, it is a “cal-
culating” intelligence that is used wisely. Naturally,
Coco received several extra nuts as a reward!
More along the lines of a crazy miracle is the tale
about Franck’s wife’s (Ila) friend, Victoria, who is a
vet specializing in animal pathologies in her farm-
ing community. Victoria was given a rooster that fell
in love with her little white hen. “Many people have
documented,” said Ila, a naturalist and bird expert,
“that birds fall in love.”
The enamored feathered couple were always to-
gether, until the one night when Victoria was espe-
cially concerned that the hen was missing. As dark-
ness fell, Victoria searched, but sadly, found the hen
drowned in the horse’s trough.
“Feeling terrible,” said Ila, “my friend took the wet
bird home where she noticed that the icy cold hen
was still flexible, even though she must have drowned
a good while before. Victoria proceeded to give her
rooster’s best friend little mouth-to-beak breaths. She
also moved and massaged its spindly legs. After five
minutes, the hen unbelievably took a gulp of air, and
revived!
“Five hours later, the hen was back to normal, and
the next day, the love affair between her and the
rooster continued!”
The next cute tale is from Russ’s granddaughter,
Gracie. She proves that “kids say the darndest things!”
“When Gracie was four-years-old, we took her to
the circus,” said Grandpa Russ. “When we returned
home to the farm, she marched over to a large tree
stump, climbed up on it and waved her arms wide to
her invisible audience proclaiming, ‘Ladies and gen-
tlemen...today we have a cat, a dog, and a chicken for
your viewing pleasure,’ as she pointed to the animals
clustered around her.”
This next tale happened to Christine as she was
folding laundry.
“Twin fawns walk into our yard from the woods,”
said Christine. “As I gazed at them, I random-
ly thought, ‘Don’t fall into the pool.’ As soon as I
thought that, one of the babies walked over to our
‘cement pond’, peered in, and SPLASH!
I ran to the sliding doors to assist in a ‘fawn-ec-
tomy’, but the momma deer beat me to it. The little
one was already out of the pool nursing. Its twin was
gawking at its wet and embarrassed sibling as if to say,
‘What in the world was THAT all about, doe-fuss?!’”
