As usual, the ones I wanted were hiding. Spring has sprung and I was specifically searching for a light, lemony dessert. My filing was not cooperat- ing. I kept coming up with all things chocolate, pumpkin or pecan. Finally, an envelope of lemony ideas surfaced that just hit the spot. Why lemons? Well, I’ve read that the favorite Amer- ican pies are apple, pumpkin, chocolate cream and cherry. All of which I am fond of but there’s just something special about tart and sweet lemony desserts that can’t be beat. The dictionary says that lemons are “an acid fruit that is botanically a many-seeded, pale yellow, oblong berry and is produced by a stout thorny tree.” Hmm. On paper it sounds boring and not very appetizing. But put together with a lit- tle sugar in a pie or cake rec- ipe and lemons are delicious!

He keeps me happy and I’ve stopped sinking into depres- sion, especially now with the pandemic’s-imposed isola- tion.” At three years of age, this furry companion weighs 80 pounds, is still growing and is solid muscle. His eyes are mystical-glacier blue. His thick five-inch fur comes out like porcupine quills, every- where. The fur permeates fabric, rugs, clothes, furni- ture and creates super size dust bunnies. The breed is famous for pulling dog sleds long distances, which Tim- ber does not; but he loves his long distance runs with his best buddy, Tyson. “We run three miles a day and in the first three months I lost 40 pounds,” said Tyson. “Runs clear my mind and my dog’s happy-go-lucky nature is joy-filled. He’s taught me patience, how to love deeply and commitment. Patience is now employed in all aspects of my life.

Literally. At that time, Ventura county, Calif., hadn’t been discov- ered by the rest of the world. Our housing development was in the middle of nearby artichoke and strawberry fields along with avocado and citrus orchards. We also had orange and lemon trees in our backyard. So, you can imagine that I was always looking for ways to use our own homegrown fruit. Later, as the chief des- sert maker at Kaiser’s Coun- try Diner, I quickly discov- ered that our customer’s favorite desserts were things that they remembered from their childhood. Apple pie may be Amer- ica’s favorite dessert but things like lemon meringue pie and puddings would fly off the shelf almost before the doors opened! Today’s lemony desserts are two of my favorites. They’re easy to make, old- time recipes that I found on store packages long ago. The pie base is a Jell-O lemon pudding mix topped with meringue. The basis for the other dessert is a Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme cake mix. I bake it in a Bundt pan but you can also put it in other sizes of cake pans. I espe- cially like it with a quick and easy glazed topping, that Pet Tips‘n’ Tales NT UT U SO APRIL 8, 2021 | 5A promo code N7017 1-866-523-0103 * Free date changes anytime up to 45 days prior to departure for land tours, up to 95 days prior to departure for cruise tours.

Tyson is a Canadian First Nation drummer and singer. something irritates me, it no longer means it is wrong or out of control.” Tyson is a First Nation’s drummer, singer and tra- ditional leather crafter who performs and sells regalia belts at traditional Powwows. Native American heritage celebrations feature sing- ing, crafts, traditional foods, clothing, games and dance. He and his dog are bilingual and speak Cree and English with an amazing twist. “One day, I was practic- ing Sun Dance songs and Timber began howling,” said Tyson. “I laughed at him and he looked deeply hurt. His look indicated that he felt disrespected. So, I looked into his eyes, asked him to help me sing and began. He understood and began howling with the rhythm. It was amazing. He thinks he is part of our clan and we make a great duet, and he gets ex- cited when he sees people dancing to his singing.” He put the paw-formance on TikTok and it blew up with comments. “My therapy dog is good medicine and an amazing healer. He’s lifted my anxiety and puts a smile on every- one’s faces,” said Tyson. Tyson said he is grateful for his healing four-legged friend for lifting his loneli- ness and transforming it into happiness. “He’s constantly proving the healing capabilities of animals and that they are indeed ‘good medicine,’” he said.
