Cathy’sRecipe Box

Welcome to my kitchen. Actually, I’m in my office and watching the leaves dance and swirl in the air like a snowfall outside the shop door. Have I mentioned how much I love Fall? It’s my absolute favorite season.

It’s a beautiful Fall day that reminds me of the house I grew up in and my Great-gramma Smith. This was a regular meal she made during my childhood for our supper so I thought I’d share this recipe of hers that I now make often in Fall & Winter. It’s from memory, but I have tweaked it a bit to determine approximate measurements. I also love the memories evoked when I’m making it. My GG’s tiny kitchen with the 50’s red speckled table and chairs (that goes for big $$$ now because it’s “vintage”) Now that I typed that I realize I’m in that same category. I loved setting on the counter watching her work her magic in that kitchen. I absorbed a lot from watching her and can see in my mind the steps and ingredients she used. I miss her everyday; especially in the Fall and Winter.

Scalloped potatoes and ham is such a good, warm comfort meal; and perfect for a Sunday family dinner or after a long day at work. Add a nice fresh salad and dinner rolls or freshly baked bread and you have the perfect comfort meal. This meal for 4 to six is a great and economical meal to feed your family coming in at approximately $20 - $25 for the entire meal. You can skip the heavy cream (just use a bit more milk) and salad to save even more. Enjoy! ~Cathy~

GREAT GRANDMA SMITH'S SCALLOPED POTATOES & HAM:

6-8 potatoes

(most any kind works with this recipe, but I like Yukon Gold)

2-3 lbs smoked ham either cubed, sliced or even shaved

1 or 2 sticks (personal choice) butter or margarine sliced (I use butter because -- butter)

Up to 3/4 cup (more or less) flour (use own judgment)

2 cups milk + 1 pint heavy whipping cream stirred in (optional)

Salt & pepper to taste

Peel and slice potatoes. Lightly grease bottom of 9x13 pan. Layer: potatoes, ham, some butter slices and sprinkle with flour & pour 1/3 of the milk over all and keep layering until all is in the pan ending with milk poured over all.

Cover and bake at 350 for 2 1/2 hours. Last 20 minutes uncover and let "brown" on top. You may want to bake on a foil lined cookie sheet for any spillovers.

Page Turners

Teens, are you ready to dive into a story that will make you see the world a little differently?

Join our teen book club, Page Turners, as we read “Holding Up the Universe” by Jennifer Niven. This powerful novel takes us into the lives of Libby and Jack—two teens with their own struggles who discover that sometimes, the most unexpected friendships are the ones that change everything. Whether you’re a book lover or just looking for a place to connect with others, this is your chance to share thoughts, make new friends, and find out what it truly means to be seen. Space is limited to 10 teens, ages 13-18. Register at the Youth Desk beginning Tuesday, October 1 and pick up your very own copy of the book. Meetings will take place at 11:00 am in the Community Room on Saturday, November 2 and Saturday, November 23.
