Hot dry weather in western North
Dakota sparked numerous fires last
week. A fire spotted by Jeff Gorrell
of Trotters was electrical in origin. A
power line short caused a fire near

day lightning ignited a fire which

battling the blaze for hours. At least

Some kitchen hacks to prevent culinary disasters
"What are you doing with this?"
my husband asked, as he held up a
plastic bag of fresh dill.
I smiled sweetly and replied,
"Thank you for finding that, dear."
I am kidding. Trust me: My re-
sponse was not sweet at all.
I was upset with myself because I
forgot to put the dill in the "pickled
dilled beans." I had just placed the
jars in our boiling water-bath canner.
I figured I could save my efforts if I
acted quickly.
My husband seemed kind of
amused watching me move so fast.
I pulled the jars out of the boiling
water and removed the screw bands
and lids. The plastic in the lid had not
begun to melt. I added the dill, re-
placed the lids, put them back in the
boiling water-bath canner and hoped
for the best. They all sealed.
We made another batch a few
days later. My husband couldn't re-
sist teasing me, brave man that he is.
"Did you add the dill?" he asked
with a smirk.
"Yes, I did, dear," I replied. That's
an actual quote, but I said it slightly
sarcastically.
I organized my workspace better
the second time. We will enjoy these
beans when the ~now is flying and
our backyard garden is covered with
snowdrifts.
Sometimes culinary disasters hap-
pen in the kitchen. You might be able
to save them. Other times, you just
learn from your mistakes and add
material to your compost bin or
trash.
When I used to teach classes
about food preparation to college stu-
dents, sometimes I'd have to "diag-
nose" the missing ingredient. This
happened whenever one group's final
product looked a lot different from
another group's.
Most commonly, I get questions
from people who are missing an in-
gredient in their kitchens, and they
want to substitute something. Their
grocery store may be far from their
home or closed for the day. Maybe
they don't feel like driving to the
store.
"Ingredient Substitutions" is a
popular NDSU Extension publica-
tion that you might want to print and
put in your cupboard or bookmark on
your computer. Keep in mind the
substitutions result in some changes
to the texture or flavor of your
recipes.
For example, what if I didn't have
any fresh dill to use? I could have
substituted 1 tablespoon of dill seed
for every three heads of fresh dill.
In another scenario, you may
think you have a fresh onion. When
you check, you are disappointed that
you do not have one in your pantry.
For one small onion, you can use 1
