Cover Story by Graysen Walles
Teachers are Brave
Somewhere in this country a drive-by was avoided, a robbery was reconsidered, or a suicide attempt was abandoned because a teacher was willing to show up and make a difference in the classroom, administrative office, after school activity, or at the home of a child.

Chippy's Coconut Cake

Box of white cake mix. Fix according to directions but use whole eggs instead of egg whites.

Bake in a 9 x 13 pan.

When you take cake out of oven poke holes in it with a fork.

In a small pan mix 1 cup sugar and 1 cup milk and bring to a boil. Pour over cake.

When cake is cool, ice with a container of cool whip and then pour 1/2 bag of coconut on top of cool whip.

Ima Teacher’s Mushroom & Barley Soup

  • 1 lg onion, chopped
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 2 C. sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 7 C. chicken broth
  • 2 C. water
  • 1/2 C. medium pearl barley
  • 2 T. soy sauce
  • 1 t. dried thyme
  • 1/4 t. pepper

In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add mushrooms and garlic. Saute 3-4 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Brign to a boil. Reduce heat. Smmer, uncovered, for 45 -60 minutes or until barley is tender. Makes 7 servings. It also works well in a crock pot.

Today I left out the thyme and added celery & sage. I've also used worchestershire sauce instead of soy sauce for a different flavor. It's also really nice with beef broth instead of chicken broth.
