With school starting and the family getting back into a perhaps earlier and more hectic schedule than was kept during the summer, it may seem like there is not enough time to make a homemade treat to welcome the kids home.

While contemplating a drink for kids, I came across a recipe for St. Louis Blues Swizzle in my favorite cookbook; a handwritten family book of recipes that were written anywhere from 1970 to modern times. 

I am uncertain why this drink is named St. Louis Blues Swizzle. This recipe is a non-alcoholic drink that does not have much in common with a St. Louis Blues cocktail.

The first was the Geronimo Manhattan.

At the Carbon County Fair Food and Refreshment Center, there are some delicious choices of meat dishes to enjoy. The brisket and pulled pork truly melt in your mouth; a favorite of customers, according to Travis Moore, County Commissioner, other than when he is cooking and serving food at the Fair.

Moore said the Bison Smashburger has been very popular.

A Gibson cocktail is a hybrid martini as it is made today.  Instead of olives, cocktail onions were introduced around the 1950s as the garnish. It was popular for a time in the 1960s but disappeared in the 1980s. It is rare for bars to carry these small pickled cocktail onions any longer.

Linda Goodrich, a Hanna resident, recently went to a community picnic where she brought a delicious, creamy dessert which not only was gone faster than any other of the other tasty treats, but it served almost 30 people, although Goodrich said if people take larger portions, it serves more like two dozen.
