The View From

Jaa 8, was the first baby bora in
Dublin in 1972. His parents are
Gayle and Bill Crouch. Hr was
also the first boy of the family to
carry the Crouch name.
Tbe Dublin Historical Society
held an open, bouse for it's new
building, the Lyou Museum. The
building was donated in 1971 by
Mrs. Grace Lyon in memory of her
late husband, Ted Lyoa
Tbe Andromeda Strain was
showing at the Majestic Theater.
Although not by design, it seems that every Christinas some member
of the family gets a sort of tongue-in-cheek gift. A spoof which
celebrates (or makes fun of) something that is happening in that person’s
life.
Looking back, I’m amazed that I didn’t immediately recognize that it
was My Year when I ripped open a box with all kinds of marvelous
kitchen gadgets. Awesome things with purposes I couldn’t discern. That
was my first clue. The second was the roughly sketched floor plan of my
house which had a large X on tbe approximate location of my kitchen.
I suppose one of the reasons I missed the subtleties of the gift was
because I had already made a New Year's resolution concerning my
culinary skills. I vowed to (drum roll) Learn To Cook.
I started with stew. Have you ever noticed how few printed
Green cabbage was 10 cents per are gtew? j guess people are just bora knowing how to
„ . . . . stew. Some people. ,
Hie Old Tuner thought of the ^ „ that nobody makes, has ever made, or will ever
make, better stew than my mother. Mary Yantis and Kari Lanting are on
tbe short list of master stew chefs but my mother has the title securely in
hand. My brother, bless his soul, has always tried to encourage me in my
pursuit of adventure, whether it was hurling a sports car around a pylon
or starting a newspaper (which I consider to be of similar levels of
New officer* were elected for the excitement but differing levels of danger with the newspd^er clearly the
Dublin Development Club. They more dangerous.)
Anywiy, a few Weeks ago, he joined me for a quick bowl of stew. An
unspoken “Sis, it ain’t Mom’s” was written all over his face. I decided to
get it all out in the open.
“I don’t understand why I can't make stew as good as Mother’s,” I
lamented, fishing for that reinforcement which he is good at. I expected
him to say something soothing such as, “Oh, Sis, this stew is not exactly
like Mom's but it’s really quite good.” The reality, however, was, “Nope,
it’s really not as good as her’s,” -- this accompanied by a look
reminiscent of the frat pledge who had just swallowed a goldfish.
Well, that did it. If you can’t beg or pry a semi-compliment from your
own brother, it’s time to make a resolution.
I started where one would logically start if the cupboard is devoid of

and Miss me there, thus avoiding harassment. Besides that, I’ve always believed a
reporter should report the news, not make it.
As soon as I got my shopping cart, I heard the friendly greeting of

Then in a loud voice, someone I vaguely recognized but didn’t know
by name, asked, “Are you looking for the cat litter? It’s the next aisle
over.”
(Interesting to note that at about 10:30 a.m. the following morning, I
got a call from my brother who said in an amused voice, “I heard you
were at the grocery store last night." Oh come on - isn’t there anything
else to talk about in this town???? You folks need to get a life.) Anyway
I digress...
Finally i started on the project. I chopped, diced, sliced, sauteed,
boiled and scorched until finally a marvelous aroma filled my kitchen
and set the smoke alarm off.
But I’m nothing if not tenacious so I resumed my cooking and
completed what I considered to be a fairly acceptable stew. Actually, I
thought it was pretty darn good. Time for the test. I called my brother
and suggested he come by for lunch. Clearly catching him off guard, he
was unable to think of an excuse in time to avoid the inevitable.
I waited an eternity for a reaction. None. Except that he wanted a
second bowl. Good sign. Still I waited. Nothing. But he wanted a third
bowl. Finally, I growled though clinched teeth - “Well, did you like the
stew?” Apparently, he heard the message in my voice and the gushing
began. “Oh, gosh, yes, It was wonderful. Best I’ve ever tasted. Can’t
imagine how it could possibly be any better.”
Well, that was enough overkill to have me questioning the sincerity
until a few days later when my sister-in-law called to tell me that she
was very irritated with my brother because he had come home as she was
preparing to put stew on the table and he proceeded to tell her about how
good mine was.
So, I’m gaining confidence. I passed the test and now I’m prepared to
try this recipe on a real person. I love it when a plan comes together.
Today the stew. Tomorrow the chocolate mousse.
(A note to the local fire department that they no longer have to be on
alert.)
