Socti a nice surprise/ A futt-
blow n Kitchen Scents article lay
mg right on my desk. No more
mix-ups on appointment times or
wandering around Rains County
lost in a fog.
Helen Dagley graciously left
a packet of valuable information,
including the fact that she is an
old pool (not the word she used)
who lives on a farm in Rains
County, which has been in her
family since 1853.
Growing up in Sweetwater, she
later attended the University of
Texas-Austin on a drama schol-
arship. married, had one child,
divorced, went back to school,
studied nursing, remarried, and
spent much of her career as an
RN in the Dallas area.
But of more importance,
Helen visited her grandparents
on the fabulous family farm
in Rains County every year at
Christmas and in the summers.
She moved to the farm perma-
nently in 2004
The following is Helen's
uniquely hilarious paraphrased
information, including two of her
insane, but delectable recipes:
“Let’s make it clear from the
very beginning that cooking with a
lamb is quite different from cook-
ing a lamb. As far as I’m concerned,
lambs are not for eating. They are
for loving and adopting into your
family.
Think of it this way: With rais-
ing a lamb, you get to revisit and
er\joy all stages of babyhood and
childhood, but it only takes a mat-
ter of months as opposed to years.
Lambs are affectionate, cute, lov-
able and adorable. They are obedi-
ent They never rebel against you,
never mouth off and never ask to
drive your car.
Preparation. You will first need
to have a place to put him. If your
lamb is very small and very young,
may I suggest a port-a-crib in the
kitchen corner. That way, you can
keep an eye on him and he can keep
an eye on you
Hopefully, he will he down and
watch you work without experienc-
ing separation anxiety and saying,
“Baaa.” That way, you don’t have
to feel guilty at not being' a more
attentive ewe.
Wash your hands. Put on an
apron, smock, change clothes,
whatever, but get ready to cook!
Choose something yummy, but easy
to make - like a
Caramel Cake
1 8-oz. carton sour cream
1/4 c. milk (plain, evap. or but-
termilk)
1 c, butter, softened
2 c. sugar (or less)
4 eggs (or whites)
2-3/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. rum extract (or lemon or
almond)
Mix all this stuff up real good
and either pour it into 2 9-inch
cake pans or 1 9x13-inch rectangu-
lar pan. (Personally, 1 used Bakers
Joy or Pam spray, but if you want
to mess with grease, flour or parch-
ment paper, have at it !) Bake at 350
degrees until done. Check after
about 25-30 minutes. (If you use
a straw from the broom you use to
sweep the floor, don't tell me about
it, okay?)
Cool the cake and either leave it
in the pan or dump it out, depend-
ing on your plans. If you are going
to take it to a buffet and plan on
icing only the top, leave it in the
pan. If you want to decorate the
sides, cook it for about 10 minutes
and dump it out onto a cake plate
It would make a good wedding or
groom’s cake because it is GOOD!
Caramel frosting:
3 c. sugar, divided
1 Tbs. all-purpose flour
1 c. milk (use evaporated. This
is not a diet cake, okay?)

. Mariner tifttt
3/4 o. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract.
Use a deep iron skillet or Dutch
oven. Put in 1/2 cup of sugar amt
stir occasionally with a fork until
it melts into a light brown syrup.
At that point, you will think these
two thoughts: ‘I have discovered
the recipe for gorilla glue’ and ‘1
will NEVER get this goo off my fork
or iron skillet.’ Take the mess off
the heat and set mess aside tem-
porarily.
In a stainless steel saucepan,
dump in remaining sugar, all flour
and milk and stir it all up, bring-
ing to a boil, stirring occasionally,
or constantly, depending on your
level of energy and all that kind of
thing. (1 drag up a chair and read a
magazine, standing up every now
and then to give it a stir.)
Once you get all this boiled up,
pour about 1/4 at a time into your
glue goo and stir with your stuck
fork, which should unstick some-
where in the adding-and-stirring
procedure. You should also be able
to free up the glue goo on the bot-
tom of the skillet. Stir until the two
mixtures are combined, and turn
the heat back on to medium. Cook
until a candy thermometer reaches
238 degrees, or until it looks blend-
ed and glossy, or until you get tired
of messing with it. At that point,
you can't ruin it unless you burn
it up, so from here on out, it’s not
that big of a deal. Okay9
1\irn off the heat, add butter and
vanilla and stir. Cover, and let cake
and icing cool.
Now - pick your lambie up and
take him into the living room. Sit
in a recliner and put your feet up
You and your lamb can either read,
watch TV or nap. Or you can brush
him or sing to him. This is your
time to relax and ei\joy being ewe.
After at least 1 hour, maybe 3-
4 hours, put lambie back into the
port-a-crib, wash your hands, put
your apron back on, and check
on your caramel. Stir it, beat it,
whip it, or if it's too lumpy, strain
it through a great big tea strainer.
Anyhow, put it on the cake and
enjoy!
If you have a lot of caramel icing
left over (1 did), it would be a good
time to have some small apples on
hand to roll around in the caramel.
Or you can use the leftovers for ice
cream topping. Or to alternate with
vanilla pudding in a parfait glass.
As for me, 1 simply baked another
cake and used it on that one also.”
A voracious reader, Helen
firmly believes even .voman on
the planet should read Ten Stupid
Things Women Do To Mess Up
Their Lives.
Otherwise, the delightful lady
spends time with grandchildren,
keeps up w ith high school class-
mates by e-mail, tries to stay
home, mind her own business,
keep her opinions to herself, and
resist the temptation to be judge-
mental and critical of others. For
her, that’s a full-time job!
