Title: Death Valley Cajun Jambalaya
Categories: Venison, Vegetables, Herbs, Rice, Chilies
Yield: 6 servings

1 1/2 lb Venison andouille sausage;
- sliced
2 tb Olive oil
1 lg Bell pepper; cored, diced
1 lg Onion; peeled, diced
3 Ribs celery w/leaves; chop'd
3 cl Garlic; minced
1 tb Cajun seasoning blend
1 1/2 c Long grain rice; uncooked
2 c Chicken stock
12 oz Beer
2 tb Hot sauce or more
2 Bay leaves
1 pn (or more) cayenne pepper
Green onions; chopped,
- garnish

Heat oil in a stock pot or dutch oven over medium high
heat. Cook the sliced andouille until browned, about 7
minutes.

Add the chopped peppers, onion, celery and garlic to the
pot. Sprinkle half of the Cajun seasoning over the top.
Stir and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are
crisp tender, about 8 minutes.

Stir in the uncooked rice. Combine with the sausage and
vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the chicken stock, beer, hot sauce, bay leaves,
remaining Cajun seasoning, and cayenne. Stir to combine
well.

Increase heat to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce
heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Keep an eye on the heat, and do not remove the lid while
simmering. The jambalaya is done when the rice is tender
and the mixture is very slightly sticky.

If there is too much liquid in the pot at the end of
cooking time, remove the lid, increase heat slightly and
cook until liquid is gone.

Serve in bowls with fresh chopped green onions,
additional hot sauce and seasoning.

newspaper's 'Fun' section. The diamond-shaped grid has numbered squares, clues, and simple instructions to fill the blanks. A typographical error
a few weeks later will change the name to 'Cross-Word.' That one will stick.

03 March 1913 - FIRST WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MARCH IN WASHINGTON: Pennsylvania
Avenue sees up to 8,000 women's suffrage supporters seeking to redress
gender inequality, including gaining the right to vote. The march will
become a milestone in the history of women's rights in the United
States.

The procession was organized by the suffragists Alice Paul and Lucy
Burns for the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).
Planning for the event began in Washington in December 1912. The
parade's purpose, stated in its official program, was to "march in a
spirit of protest against the present political organization of society,
from which women are excluded."

Title: Nut Roast
Categories: Breads, Nuts, Dairy
Yield: 4 servings

3 lg Eggs; beaten with egg beater
2 c English Walnut meats
Milk: to moisten
4 c Bread crumbs; grated
1 tb Butter
pn Salt

1 1/2 cups of walnut meats will do. 1/4 lb. of the meats
is 1 1/2 cups. A 1/4 lb. of the meats equals 1/2 lb. in
the shells and the labor of shelling is saved.

Melt butter and pour over mixture, salt, then add enough
milk to moisten, so as to form the shape of a loaf of
bread. Too little milk will cause the loaf to separate,
likewise, too much will make it mushy. Chop walnuts
exceedingly fine. Bake between 20 to 30 minutes in
buttered bread pan or baking dish. A small slice goes
very far as it is solid and rich. Serve with hot tomato
sauce.

This makes a delicious luncheon dish, served with peas
and a nice salad.

10 July 1913 - APTLY NAMED DEATH VALLEY SIZZLES WITH RECORD-SMASHING
HIGH: With hot spots like 'Furnace Creek' and 'The Devil's Golf Course,' California's Death Valley doesn't surprise with a mercury rise, but the temperature today tops out at 34º F, the highest ever recorded on
Earth, and a record that will stand more than a century later.

The highest temperature recorded on Earth has been measured in three
major ways: air, ground, and via satellite observation. Air measurements
are used as the standard measurement due to persistent issues with
unreliable ground and satellite readings. Air measurements are noted by
the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and Guinness World Records
among others as the standard to be used for determining the official
record. The current official highest registered air temperature on Earth
is 56.7 ºC (134.1 ºF), recorded on 10 July 1913 at Furnace Creek Ranch,
in Death Valley in the United States. For ninety years, a former record
that was measured in Libya had been in place, until it was decertified
in 2012 based on evidence that it was an erroneous reading. This finding
has since raised questions about the legitimacy of the 1913 record
measured in Death Valley, with several meteorological experts asserting
that there were similar irregularities. The WMO has stood by the record
as official pending any future investigative results. If the current
record were to be decertified then the holder would be a tie at 54.0 ºC
(129.2 ºF), recorded both at Furnace Creek and in Kuwait.
