North Dakota county fair season is about to get its jump start. For some reason several counties in the northwest are usually the first to have their fairs. Williams County is one of those. The fair in Williams County is actually known as the Upper Missouri Valley Fair (UMVF).

Rhubarb grows well in most farm gardens and has a special spot in town gardens as well. This tart, tasty vegetable (yes, botanists consider rhubarb, as a member of the garden sorrel species, a vegetable) makes excellent muffins, cakes, tortes, jellies, and juice, and when surrounded by delectable flaky pastry, rivals any fruit pie in flavor and taste.

You could hardly see for all the snow, Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go. Pull a chair up to the TV set, ‘Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet.’ My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn’t seem to get food poisoning.
