Future empty nest calls for food preparation changes
The other day, I walked out the
front door of my home and was
dive-bombed by a robin. I felt her
wings graze my head.
I squealed and ran down the side-
walk. A person walking down the
sidewalk looked at me with curios-
ity.
My daughter had warned me that
we had an "angry bird" in a nest
close to our front door. I noticed two
robins had set up a parental surveil-
lance system in our front yard. Fe-
male robins have duller-colored
feathers than males, so this was my
introduction to "Mother Robin."
I sneaked back to our front step
and peeked toward the crook of a
tree to see three fuzzy baby birds
With open mouths waiting to be fed.
I could see Father Robin, with his
brighter plumage, collecting worms.
Male robins also help their offspring
learn to live on their own. The
robins' sons and/or daughters are
well taken care of by their doting
parents until they "fledge," or leave
the nest.
The Robinsons get to watch them
from a distance, through a window
near the tree, where they are safe
from dive-bombing birds. Whenever
I am on our front doorstep, I do not
look at the nest. Moth.er Robin has
her eye on me and squawks loudly.
"Mother Robinson" (yes, that's
me) also has three kids in our nearby
nest, but two of them will be leav-
ing later this summer. Our oldest
will move to an apartment, our mid-
dle child will move to a dormitory,
and our 12-year-old will get a lot of
attention at home.
Lately, collecting things to
feather their future nests has been
my priority. What exactly do you
need to set up a household, espe-
cially a kitchen?
If you're assembling a kitchen or
downsizing, be sure to have certain
items on hand. Besides dishes and
utensils, you will need pots and
pans, knives, a plastic cutting board,
measuring cups and spoons, mixing
bowls, stirring spoons, a whisk and
a can opener. Some small household
appliances are handy, too, such as an
electric mixer, microwave oven and
toaster oven. Most of us need a cof-
fee maker, too.
Organization helps, especially if
your new space is a compressed ver-
sion of your old space. For quick
cooking, organize your kitchen so
your equipment is within easy reach.
When cooking for one or two, be
sure to choose recipes that are easy
to divide mathematically. Some-
times you have to try some little
tricks to make recipes work.
June 16, 1966 - 50 years ago:
Several weeks ago a rabid skunk
was killed in the Golva community
when Harry Zachmann reported a
skunk chasing his pigs around the
pig pen. The animal was killed and it
proved to have rabies.
The Wibaux Saddle Club pre-
sented its third annual nationally ap-
proved Little Britches Rodeo
S iturday and Sunday, June 4-5. The
rodeo was well attended both from
the spectator standpoint and contest-
ants participating.

• Medora Car Show, 10 a.m.-
3:30 p.m., June 25, Medora
When cooking for
one or two, be sure
to choose recipes
that are easy to di-
vide mathemati-
cally. Sometimes
you have to try
some little tricks to
make recipes work.
For example, in recipes calling
for three eggs, use two eggs and re-
move 2 to 4 tablespoons of liquid (if
present) from the recipe. If a recipe
calls for a can of beans or soup and
you would like to divide the recipe
in half, use what you need and re-
frigerate or freeze the remaining
beans or soup. Be sure to label the
container with the contents and date.
When resizing recipes that in-
clude herbs and spices, add the sea-
sonings gradually. Sometimes you
may need to add more (or less) of
the spice to reach the desired flavor.
Be sure to check for doneness of
halved recipes five to 10 minutes
sooner than the original recipe. Al-
ways be sure to keep notes about
what works and what doesn't.
If you really like your larger-
sized recipes, think of the extra serv-
ings of food as "planned overs"
instead of leftovers. You can use
planned-over macaroni to make
pasta salad or quick casseroles. Add
planned-over vegetables or meat to
homemade soup or stir-fry.
Try some easy-to-assemble foods
or use "speed scratch" cooking tech-
niques, where you add some fresh
ingredients to convenience foods:
• Make minipizzas by topping
English muffins with planned-over
spaghetti sauce, vegetables and
shredded cheese.
• Add chopped onions, mush-
rooms, peppers and cooked meat to
canned spaghetti sauce. Serve
spaghetti sauce over noodles one
day, then add kidney beans and chili
seasoning for another meal.
• Top a microwave-baked potato
or sweet potato with planned-over
chili and cheese.
• Mix chopped yellow squash,
green peas and grated carrots with a
prepared rice mix.
June 13, 1991 - 25 years ago:
The Golden Valley Manor is host-
ing a very special party on July 18,
and everyone is invited. A Christmas
in July celebration will feature the
sale of handcrafted items, raffle
prizes, and treats for everyone.
• Spice up canned tomato soup
by adding chopped green onion, cel-
ery and some garlic powder.
A few years ago, I created a
"Cooking for One or Two" publica-
tion, and I also worked with my stu-
dents to create a series of Cooking
101 publications for singles and
couples. You might enjoy the
recipes and tips for yourself or to
help any "fledglings" in your house-
hold leave the nest. Visit

The fairly young Robinson chil-
dren always enjoy a good hot dish.
