cooking with memories
BY DEBBY WAGLER
AS CHRISTMAS TIME NEARS AND I PREPARE FOR MY
CHRISTMAS BAKING BUSINESS I TRY OUT MANY RECIPES. I
COLLECT THEM FROM THOSE SMALL HANDOUTS YOU GET IN
MAGAZINES OR AT THE GROCERY COUNTER, COUNTLESS
RECIPE BOOKS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. IT IS FUN TO
EXPERIMENT, FUN TO PASS OUT SAMPLES AND GET OPINIONS
AND NOT SO FUN WHEN A RECIPE IS A DUD! THE
FOLLOWING RECIPE IS A WINNER AND THE YEAR I HAD A
LOT OF MINI TARTS ON MY TRAYS THIS WAS ONE OF THE
THREE. IT IS DELICIOUS TO BITE INTO EVERY MORSEL OF
COCONUT, CHERRIES AND NUTS!
CHERRY COCONUT TARTS
Crust:
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 cup flour
Combine all ingredients to a smooth dough - working with
your hands can help to get it smooth. Press into 12 muffin
cups or 18 mini tartlet pans.
Filling:
2 egg whites
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries, drained well
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat egg whites to stiff peaks and then stir in remaining
ingredients. Mix well. Spoon into shells. Bake at 325 deg. F.
for 18-23 minutes or possibly less with smaller tarts. Remove
from oven when golden and let cool in pan.
The women learned that three musical groups have
volunteered their time and talent to entertain a this
event.
President Cass Lovie discussed the fall rally and the
London area convention. The display at the Grand
Bend Library arranged by the Grand Bend WI has a

A rug hooking course will be held this fall. A "Quincy
The Bear" quilt book will be purchased and donated
to the Grand Bend Library. Several 2006 challenge
competitions were discussed.
On Sept. 17 several WI members and friends will
travel by bus to the Quilt, Quills and Teddy Bear Show
at the International Centre.
Dianne Miller and Peggy Brownlee, landscape
designer of Lakewood Garden Centre, St. Joseph pro-
vided information concerning fall gardening. Several
gardening questions were answered. The technique to
force bulbs was explained. A plant silent auction was

speed to 140 km/h. The vehicle after 12 km overheated
and stopped on the side of the road. Charged is an 18 -

Some people say
that 1 pig produces
more waste than
10 humans.
Now
that
stinks.
Recycle Look closely at the facts. The
average pig requires about 3.5 litres of water
a day. You and I use that much just washing
our hands. When it comes to waste, pigs
produce a combination of manure and water
that adds up to about 7 litres per day — with
100% recovered and reused as highly effective
natural fertilizer. You can't say that about
human waste that also includes everything
from wash water to household chemicals.
Today's hog farms combine science, practical
experience and common sense to reduce waste
and recycle absolutely everything possible,
especially manure. The truth is clear — and
anything less than that stinks.
