Cookin’ with Debbia
By Debbie Johnston
Our Cook of the Month for July is Patty
Fetherston. Many of you know Patty from
seeing her in the office at Washington
Grade School, but you may not know that
she and Michael, her husband of 30 years,
have two children and two grandchildren.
Patty started cooking with her mom and has
enjoyed it ever since. I think you’ll enjoy her
dishes, too.
CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE
This recipe was given to me by Grammy; it is always a hit and
very easy to make.
1. Mix together in a large bowl:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
5 tbs. cocoa
dash salt
2. Mix together in a smaller bowl, and set aside:
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. soda
2 beaten eggs
3. Place in medium pan and bring to a boil:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients, stirring (It will be dry
and lumpy.). Add boiling ingredients, mixing with a wire whisk as
you pour. Mix well.

Sunday 10:30 a.m.
Pour into a large cookie sheet or jellyroll|
pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 min
utes. Cake is done when center is moist and|
slightly firm.
Frosting (make while cake is baking):
1 lb. powdered sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
termilk
1 cup ground nuts (optional)
3 tbs. cocoal
1/4 cup but
Mix all ingredients. If necessary, add extra Patty Fetherston
buttermilk, 1 tsp. at a time, until the consistency is creamy.
Smooth frosting over cake, as soon as it comes out of the oven,
being careful not to tear it. Cool and enjoy.
MELON SALAD
3 cups cubed cantaloupe
6 cups cubed and seeded
watermelon
3 cups cubed honeydew
2 cups seedless grapes
(I prefer red grapes)
Toss together with 1 cup of gingerale and 2 tbs. fresh lime juice.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
BBQ TURKEY
1 FRESH turkey, do not use a pre-basted turkey.
Seasoning Mixture (mix together):
2 tbs. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. granulated onion
1 tsp. sage
1/2 tsp. granulated garlic
Wash turkey, removing giblets and neck. Trim excess fat. Mix
seasonings together in a small bowl.
Separate skin from turkey by lifting gently from breast to back
of bird, being careful not to tear it. Rub seasoning mixture on
turkey between skin and bird. Mix more seasoning, if needed,
depending on the size. For best flavor, refrigerate overnight.
Place in a preheated barbecue with the breast facing up. I pre
fer a charcoal barbecue, however, a gas barbecue works well.
Use low heat in gas barbecue. Divide the coals, moving them to
each side in a charcoal barbecue. Cook the turkey until juices run
clear when pierced in the thickest part of the breast. Start check
ing it at 1-1/2 hours for an average size bird. When juices run
clear, remove turkey and place in a covered roaster or wrap with
plastic wrap on a platter. Cover with a thick towel and let rest for
1/2 to 1 hour before carving.
This turkey may also be oven roasted, adding 1 cube softened
butter to the seasonings. Turkeys require longer cooking time in a
conventional oven. Start checking 1 hour before the recommend
ed cooking time on the wrapper.
