I realize that we haven't had any rain yet, but there is always the garden hose. By now you should at least have Brussels sprouts that are looking a little bushy around the bottom and some cabbage plants looking frisky, along with kale which is a great winter vegetable. Fresh kale has a short season November to March - so farmers usually do not harvest it until after the first frost, which seems to intensify its flavor. Recipes for this very high in Vitamin A veggie can range from a Danish Kale Soup to Kale Slaw, battered fried kale, braised kale and baked kale, all of which sound delicious. Cauliflower is another winter veg that needs to be put in in late summer and kept under surveillance while it forms its little rosette in the center. That is the time to pull the larger outer leaves over the center so the sun can't et at the baby cauliflower. Cauliflower lends itself to a great variety of recipes, with everyone having their own favorites. My favorite is quite simple - cauliflower, butter three cheeses, salt and pepper, baked. A gratin dish with ham is a close second choice. Even mashed as you would mash potatoes makes a luscious taste. Now we come to Brussels sprouts. These little green packages have caused me a great deal of gnashing of teeth in the past. Since they are highly touted as containing large amounts of Vitamin A, potassium, and phosphorus, I felt I should get on the bandwagon and eat them. The only problem was I didn't like their flavor. I don't recall how many different ways I cooked them, but nothing worked until I heard someone say they cooked their broccoli in chicken broth with the result that the broccoli tasted like chicken. Revelation. From that day on I have been reveling in Brussels sprouts which taste like chicken. Of course, thee are numerous other tasty ways of cooking them. One I haven't tried yet is sprouts in pecan butter which just involves cooking the sprouts until tender and then adding chopped pecans to a brown butter sauce and pouring it over the sprouts. Sounds good. Cabbage also must be considered as an all around winter vegetable. It is another side dish high in potassium as well as being low in calories. There are so many good recipes for using cabbage they could fill a cookbook. One I like is called Germantown Cole Slaw and is said to originate with the Mennonite population in Ohio. It even has strips of cooked ham in it, along with red onions, carrot, etc. Whichever plants you make the effort to have in your winter garden you will have many enjoyable meals from them when it gets colder.

Ellen Gentry continued the year's theme of Whodunnut? British Mysteries by presenting the evening's program focused on Agatha Christie. Dame Agatha Christie was considered the Queen of Crime, writing detective fiction. She also wrote six romances under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, but is best remembered for 82 detective novels and more than 15 short story collections she wrote under her own name, most of which revolve around the investigations by the characters Hercule Poirot, Miss Jane Marple and Tommy and Tuppence. She also wrote the world's longest-running play, The Police reports The following information is compiled from Red Bluff Police Department, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Department and California Highway Patrol. Arrests • Helen Margaret Dillon, 26, Greenville was arrested at Adobe Plaza for felony possession of a narcotic and misdemeanor paraphernalia. Mousetrap, written for Queen Mary's 80th birthday. Born in 1890, into a wealthy upper middle-class family in South West England, she described her childhood as very happy and was surrounded by a series of strong and independent women from an early age. Through home schooling, she not only was educated in reading, writing and math, she also learned to play musical instruments and became a voracious reader. Her first writings illustrated her interest in spiritualism and the paranormal. Under pseudonyms, various magazines rejected all of her early work, which were later revised and published under new titles. Her first novel, Snow Upon the Desert was also rejected. In 1914, she met and married Archibald Christie of the British Air Service and became active in the war effort. At war's end, they settled down in London, and in 1920, she published her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introducing Hercule Poirot. Several years later, her husband asked for a divorce so that he could marry another. Agatha Christie disappeared which caused a flurry of gossip and speculation, but was found eleven days later registered under a false name at a hotel. She never explained her disappearance and opinion remains divided as to the cause. A biography was written about it, and a 1979 film explored various ideas to explain the disappearance. Christie married archaeologist Max Mallowan, accompanied him on many digs, and contributed restoration and labeling to many ancient exhibits. In 2001-02, the British Museum honored her with an exhibit named Agatha Christie and Archaeology: Mystery in Mesopotamia. Her travels provided background for some of her novels, such as And Then There Were None, and Murder on the Orient Express. Agatha Christie died at the age of 85 in 1976, after having won many awards and having been knighted by the Queen. According to Guinness Book of World Records, she is the bestselling novelist of all time. Dillon has outstanding misdemeanors of being under the influence of a controlled substance and failure to appear. Bail was $20,000. • Brandon Earl Fogleman, 29, Red Bluff was arrested on outstanding charges of felony second degree burglary and misdemeanor petty theft. Bail was $151,000. • Geoffrey Brian Pomeroy, 34, Red Bluff was arrested on outstanding charges of felony sec- ond degree burglary, escaping from jail, petty theft with priors, possession of a controlled substance, a prior prison violation and four charges of misdemeanor criminal contempt.
