[ letters] Yeah for Co-op Connections
I wish to express my gratitude for the Co-op Connections Card from Mountain View Electric Association. Over the past 18 months, Meridian Dental of Falcon and Calhan has done a lot of major dental work for me. They honor our MVEA discount card and granted me a discount of nearly 40 percent.

Lights Out Memories
I found the article “Lights Out” (February ’16) bringing me back. I know exactly where I was in November 1965 during the blackout. We were eating supper in Ransomville, New York, when the phone rang. Dad was called back to work at the Robert Moses Power Plant in Lewiston, New York. He worked as an operator then. Later, we found out that a switch stuck at the Sir Adam Beck Power Plant on the Canadian side, which caused the blackout.

Looking for the Light Side
As a potato fan, I was looking forward to using the recipe that would “stimulate taste buds” presented in the March ’16 issue (Creamy Chorizo-Spiked Potato, Cheese Enchiladsa). I did not find any information on the number of servings but based on the number of baking dishes listed, I assume the recipe was for 12 servings (with two enchiladas in each serving). However, as I read through the ingredient list, I was saddened to see that a total of 12 quarter cups of oil and cheese — and that’s not counting the fat from sausage and whole milk — were key parts of the recipe. Potatoes are yummy, but I was hoping for a recipe that was tasty but won’t clog my arteries to such an extent.
