After using more than itsalotted five calamity days,Loveland City School District isconsidering using “blizzardbags” to combat the winterweather.

For “blizzard bags,” assign-ments will be posted online andmust be completed within twoweeks of the date school wasclosed.

Before making a final deci-sion, the district is waiting forthe state to decide if more ca-lamity days will be allowed thisyear.

Chief information officerHeatherHigdonsaid inanemailthat no decision has beenmade.

The schools were closed Jan.28 because of the weather. Cur-rently, the schools will be mak-ing up days starting June 9.Loveland Intermediate Schooland Loveland Middle School

have used one more calamityday than the rest of the districtdue to a bomb threat closing theschools in November. With theclosure Jan. 28, those twoschoolshaveusedsevencalami-ty days and the rest of the dis-trict has used six.

Superintendent Chad Hillik-er said in an email sent to staff,parents and students Jan. 27that the district is awaitingGov.John Kasich’s decision.

“We are looking at some pos-

sibleways tominimize thenum-ber of days that will need to bemade up. We will keep you in-formed of any changes as theydevelop,” he wrote.

After using all five of its ca-lamity days before the end ofJanuary, Sycamore CommunitySchool District has opted for“blizzard bags.”

Chief informationofficerEr-ika Daggett said the boardchose the “blizzard bags” be-cause of how much winter is

still remaining.“The board voted to adopt

the ... ‘blizzard bags’ option asthis will help students remainengaged in learning whenschools are closed and lessenthe potential of makeup days inJune,” Daggett said in an email.

Sally Neidhard, director ofpublic relations for UrsulineAcademy, said the school built afew extra days into its schedule

Loveland City Council isworking with developers tomake changes and get closer tobeginning the major develop-ment project planned for thedowntown.

JimCohen,presidentofCMCProperties and the developerfor River Trail Flats, formerlyknown as Loveland Station, isasking council to amend theheight limits and minimumloading areas of one of the sub-districts of the project.

“The reason for this is if weare going to fix 15,000 squarefeet of commercial space, 92apartments and the requisitepublic and private parking weneedto takeoneofourbuildingsto four stories,” Cohen said.

He said his company devel-oped a similar project just offMain Street in Milford that hasbeen very successful. Its firstapartment building there isopening next month and is 56percent leased.

Project architect Dean Lut-ton, from Reztrak Design Stu-dio, said the top twofloorsof thethree-story building and all ofthe four-story building will be

apartments. The bottom floorwill be commercial and retailproperties. The project has itsfirst retail tenant, frozenyogurtstore SweetFrog.

“That is the type of retailerwewould like to bring in. Some-one that is new, that is kind of a‘mom and pop,’ not somethingthat you see onevery street cor-ner in Cincinnati,” Cohen said,adding the shops and restau-rants are going to be open-airandoverlookDowntownandtherailroad tracks.

Lutton said inmost urban en-vironments the tallest buildingis in the center, but he opted topull the building away fromDowntown.

“That would have been im-posing and overpowering ofdowntown. Because of the to-pography beyond the site to the Jim Cohen, president of CMC Properties and developer for the River Trail Flats project, gives a presentation

MIAMITWP.—Trustees inMi-ami Township braced residentsfor possible legal action whenthey denied an industrial zone-change request from IrvineWood Recovery in December.

Les Irvine, the president ofIrvine Wood Recovery, ap-pealed the trustees’ decisionJan. 7.

“The trust-ees believe ex-panding indus-trial zoningalong (state)Route 126 isnot consistentwith the longrange zoningplans for the

area,” said Miami TownshipLaw Director Joe Braun in anemail.

The fire and EMS levyfor the city of Loveland ismoving forward.

City council passed anemergency ordinance toallow thelevy to be put onthe ballot for the primaryelection in May.

Councilman Rob Weis-gerber raised a questionabout the timingandwhatthe impactwould be if thelevy failed. He said coun-cil asked citizens in Aprilif they would rather havea tax increase or cuts toservices. The latter waschosen.

“You can make somany cuts, but the routeis to put it to the residentsto see what they want todo,” Mayor Linda Coxsaid.

ViceMayorMark Fitz-gerald said that in Aprilthe residents wereagainst an “open-ended”25 percent increase intaxes and it shouldn’t becompared to a smaller in-crease for fire and EMSservices.

If the levy fails, themoney to pay for the fireand EMS contract withthe Loveland-SymmesFire Department wouldcome from the generalfund, Weisgerber said.

Finance Director TomVanderhorst said the gen-eral fundwould be able tosupport paying for thecontract for 2014, butproblems would occur in2015 and continue in 2016.

“Withtheothercutswe

have made and with thecuts coming down fromColumbus, it would startto get very difficult. Andthe numbers only getsworse over time,” Van-derhorst said.

Fire Chief Otto Huberand Councilwoman AngieSettellpointedout the lev-y’s millage being 1.75 willgenerate just enough forthe city to operate with-out taking more than itneeds.

The ordinance waspassed with a 6-1 vote.Weisgerber votingagainst it, but said he sup-ports the fire departmentand the levy.

“This really gets backdown to the balance in thebudget with regard tohow we are backstopping(the fire fund with thegeneral fund) and a con-sistency in the informa-tion we provide to resi-dents,”hesaid,addingthecouncil should providemore information to theresidents before it wasput on the ballot.

Weisgerber also raiseda concern that he and“other strong contrib-utors” were not madepart of the finance com-mittee.

“I’m a little concernedwith the experience basethat Ihave that it isnotbe-ing utilized,” he said.

Councilwoman Pau-lette Leeper said she wasdisappointed that shewasnot appointed to the fi-nance committee.

“After 14 years on thefinance committee under

three other mayors I amquite offended that myexperience is not beingutilized in other areas,”Leeper said in referenceto her being appointed toonly one committee.

“I think (the finance)committee should betreated just like the oth-ers in terms of councilrepresentation and thatthere should be one coun-cil member. We do nothave other committeeswith more than one coun-cil member,” Cox said.Previously three councilmembers were appointedto the committee.

Settell was the onlycouncil member appoint-ed the Finance Commit-tee. The committee ap-pointments were ap-proved by a 5-2 vote, withWeisgerber and Leepervoting against it.

“Thesecondgradershadjustfinished a largerwriting unit onpersonal narratives,” Littlesaid. “We had spent a substan-tial amount of time in classlearning about focusing ourwriting on something small thatwehaveexperiencedanddevel-oping good details around thatsmallmoment. TheBest Part ofMeprojectwasagreatculmina-tion to the personal narrative.The students picked one part ofthemselves that was the mostimportant andhad todo thewhybehind what they chose.”

“Somesaidhands, some legs,hair, arms… it was fantastic tohear directly from the studentswhat their favorite feature wasand why,” Schlesselman said.“We took a picture of their fa-vorite feature and while theywere reading their stories, wedisplayed the photograph usinga projector. It was so sweet!”

To add to the ambiance theteachers decorated the class-room to look like a real café,complete with candles, flowersand cloths on the tables, and

cookies and beverages for all toenjoy.

“This piece was great prac-tice put into action and the stu-dents really surprised us bothon how reflective they could beabout themselves,” Little said.“We hope that they learned todigdeeperwhengivinggoodde-tails in writing and that theylearned about themselves too!”

LOVELAND — Fans at One Ti-ger Trail have experienced thehighs and lows of prep sportsthis season.

In the fall, Loveland HighSchool’s football teamwasaper-fect15-0, winning theOhioDivi-sionIIchampionship.Converse-ly, this winter has seen Love-land’s girls basketball teamdrop every game as they wereheaded toward a Feb. 5 gamewith Northwest at presstime.

Neither accomplishment iseasy and both offer differentforms of pressure.

For first-year coach Herb

Laughman, it’s been a seasonwhere starting point guardHai-ley Bauer tore an ACL in theteam’s second practice. Then,top scorer Julie Copfer missedtime in January. Playing short-handed, the Lady Tigers havestruggled and haven’t won.

The 6-foot sophomore aver-ages around 12 points and fiverebounds per contest, withhighs of 17 points and 10 re-bounds against McNicholasDec. 2.

While Copferwas out, sopho-moreAlyssa Stahl, juniorDevinThomas, seniors Tarah Lay, Jor-dan Fuller, Rachel Heath andJordanFullerallhelpedwith thescoring load.

“Give these girls credit,”Laughman said. “They workhard and they’re giving us ev-erythingtheyhave.That’sallwecan ask.”

Loveland has not been with-out close calls. They were beat-ing Goshen at the beginning ofthe fourth quarter and led LittleMiami by as much as seven.

“It gave some of the othergirls a chance to step up,”Laughman said. “We have fourseniors, but not a lot of experi-ence with them. The rest aresophomores and juniors. If wewould’ve had her (Copfer), itmight’ve been a different sto-

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — WhenTomWynn received the keys tothe St. Xavier High Schoolwrestling team, he knew he hadto fine-tune some things.

With holes at 106 pounds andthe heavyweight position, it’sbeen an uphill battle all seasonstartingmostmatches from be-hind. Despite those obstaclesthe Bombers fought their wayto the semifinals of theDivisionI, Region 8 OHSAA Dual TeamTournament upsetting top-ranked La Salle on the way andgetting a little redemption for aloss earlier in the season to theLancers.

“I knew we had a good teamthis year,” Wynn said, who re-placed Tim McDonald as coachbefore the season. “… We’vebeen right in the mix the wholetime; we’re just trying to putthings together.”

The Bombers, which includeLiam Flanagan of Loveland,lost to second-seeded HarrisonJan. 29 in the Dual Team Tour-nament semifinalswitha lineupthat featured six freshmen orsophomores. Wynn knew youthwas aplenty when he took over,but he figures there’s no better

wayto learnthanto takethematagainst top competition.

“We just push them, set anexample, lead and we just wantthem to step up and be leadersthemselves,” the coach said.“They are a great group ofkids.”

It always helps when youhave a group of veterans fromwhomtheyoungsters can learn.A senior class that includesRyan Gordon of West Chester,Dakota Stephens of Fairfield,Grant Pieples of Mt. Washing-ton, Joe Heyob of ColerainTownship andMatt Kuhlman ofColerain Township are a com-bined 155-34 this season, ac-cording to the Greater CatholicLeague Southwebsite.Heyob isa two-time state qualifier, is un-beaten this season (36-0) andwill challenge for a state title ateither 170 or 182 pounds.

“All those guys have takenthe young guys under theirwings and said ‘this is how wework, this is how hard we go,’”Wynnsaid. “They’vesteppedupin the (practice) roomandat thetournaments and done a reallygreat job of being leaders.”

ry.” Second team in theEastern Cincinnati Con-ference a year ago, Copf-er is hoping to continueadding skills so that shemay some day at North-ern Kentucky.

“We’ve reached out tothem,” Laughman said.“I’m going to do every-thing in my power to get

her there.”Senior Megan Suder,

junior Tori Ferguson andsophomores Ashlyn Tay-lor and Courtney Spicermake up the rest of theLoveland roster. “I thinkthey realize that they’rejustdoingwhat theycan,”Laughman said. “Theycould’ve cashed in theirchips amonth ago and de-cided not to. They workhard and we get a lot ofcompliments from othercoaches.”

Laughman hopes tobuild the Loveland girlsprogrambackup throughyouth programs and themiddle school. Lovelandhas no shortage of athlet-ic girls, but basketballhasn’t been as popular assoccer and lacrosse to thegeneral population.

“It’s tough to find thatcore group of girls,” hesaid. “I thinkwehave thatwith the sophomores.They’regymrats.There’sa lot of good athletes

walking the hallwaysright now and not out.That’s our job as coachesto get them in to play.”

The grind of a winlessseason can be trying, butLaughman hopes to be-come stronger over thenext few seasons. “I givethis community credit,”Laughman said. “They’restill so supportive eventhough we’re strugglingthis year. It’s a process. Ifit were easy, anybodywould’ve taken this.”

Jan. 29 questionPresident Obama has said

addressing income inequalitywill be the focal point of hisagenda for the rest of his term.What can be done to addressincome inequality?

“I have concerns aboutObama trying to solve anyincome inequalities. His ap-proach so far seems to be moregovernment entitlements. Hehas never had a real privatesector job, nor has he run acompany. Unless he is creatingmore jobs than I worry abouthis methods or success.

“His Robin Hood methods(take from the rich and give tothe poor) have not worked.Bringing back jobs from overseas might be a good place tostart along with immigrationreform. That is 10-20 millionjob opportunities to start.

“Per Steve Chabot, ‘sinceLBJ’s war on poverty startedin 1964, 50 years ago the gov-ernment has spent $20.7 tril-lion dollars on poverty in theU.S .’

“My guess is a large amountof that money was spent forgovernment bureaucracy andmore government employees.Obamamay soon replace Jim-my Carter as the presidentwith the lowest public approv-al rating. Go figure!”

T.D.T.

“President Obama and hisliberal base bemoan the ‘in-come inequality’ in this coun-try, but their hands are tied toone large group that will keepthat from happening. Unions.

“Specifically the teachersunions across this country.Education is paramount toclosing the income gap in thiscountry. More educated a stu-dent becomes, the more in-come that student will achieve.School vouchers are fought bythe unions all over this countrybecause they are a threat tothe status quo.

“Break the cycle of ineffi-cient/ineffective schools, re-move layers upon layers ofoverpaid do-nothing adminis-trators and maybe theirs hope.But that would take change.Hmmmm, hope and change?”

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via e-mail. Sendyour answers to [email protected] with Chatroomin the subject line.

This guest column is writtenon behalf of The Anderson TeaParty, but it reflects the viewsof similar liberty groups in OhioHouse District 27.

Group leaders representingthese groups have decidedunanimously that state Rep.Peter Stautberg should be re-placed.

Our position to replace Rep.Stautberg comes after in-depthconversation and considerationby a diverse cross section ofconservative voters.

The action is being initiatedon behalf of concerned conser-vatives throughout the district;Republicans, Independents,Libertarians, etc.

While some Republicans inthe district may not be partic-ularly enamored with the TeaParty, based on an erroneousperception created by themedia, we believe that theyheartily support this initiativethat is dedicated to preservingthe rights of individual libertyand personal property for ev-

eryone in OhioHouse District27.

At issue isnot just Rep.Stautberg’slack of conser-vative votes,but also hisabsence ofleadership andcontinuousfailure to take

a public position on criticalissues affecting constituents.

» Common Core. There aremany reasons why Ohio par-ents, teachers and taxpayersare concerned about CommonCore. If allowed to stand, stateand local school board mem-bers, along with parents andteachers, will cede local controlof assessments – and by defaultcurriculum – to unaccountablebureaucrats in Washington, D.C.

Rep. Stautberg will not co-sponsor HB237 legislation thatseeks to repeal Common Core inOhio, nor will he go on record

opposing this federal takeoverof our local school districts.Note: The Republican NationalCommittee and the HamiltonCounty Republican Party havepassed a resolution condemningand rejecting Common Core.

»Medicaid expansion inOhio. It is deeply disappointingthat conservatives in Ohio 27had to work tirelessly for 10months in an attempt to getRep. Stautberg to take a standagainst Obamacare’s Medicaidexpansion in Ohio.

While Treasurer JoshMan-del, along with conservativeOhio legislators, made immedi-ate and forthright statementscondemningMedicaid expan-sion, Rep. Stautberg has refusedto go on record.

Ohioans in a clear majorityreject this backdoor means ofceding federal health care inOhio.

» Former Anderson Trus-tee Kevin O’Brien. Rep. Staut-berg’s apathy, in excess of threeand a half years, to introduce

legislation allowing for a recallelection for incompetent trust-ees exposed Anderson residentsto four years of liability andfiduciary risks. Waiting until afewmonths before O’Brien’sterm expired failed to mitigateany of these potential damages.

»Allegiance to lobbyists.Rep. Stautberg undermines hisrepresentation of District 27constituents’ local wants andneeds in favor of business in-terests from outside our dis-trict, specifically, interestsinvolving the utility industry.

There are a number of otherhighly qualified Republicans inour district, who should consid-er running and are worthy ofthe support of all conservativesin the district. It is our intentionto reach out to them and toother interested individuals.

John Fogerty wrote that“people on the River are happyto give.”

In the case of giving up theirright tohavecleandrinkingwa-ter, the answerwould be “not somuch.” So the proposal to havethe Coast Guard permit the useof Ohio River barges to haultoxic waste from out of statehydraulic fracturing(fracking)operations to be dumped inOhio is a non starter.

Ohio is at an extreme disad-vantage in protecting itselffrom such threats due to itslack of protective measures

dealing withthe environ-ment.

So nowOhioans mustleave this issueto the CoastGuard withoutthe benefit ofany significantstate laws thatwe can point toasbeing incon-

flictwith the proposal. “Protectyourself at all times” is the rulethat applies. The Ohio legisla-ture and governor have left us

defenseless in the face of thisand other projects.

The immediate threat is thatmanycitiesdrawtheirdrinkingwater from the Ohio River.Thus a spill could compromiselocal water supplies. But thelong term threats to water sup-plies created by the plan to useOhiowells as a dump for the en-tire region may render ourstateas thedumpinggroundforregional toxic wastes.

Theuseofwells fordumpingwaste would result in a signifi-cant adverse impact to localaquifers throughout the state.

Local runner comes

FULL CIRCLEF

ive years afterKatieMil-ler launched her runningcareer through Girls onthe Run, the St. Colum-banSchooleighth-grader

returned to her roots, earning apersonal best time at the organi-zation’s 5K race as the first girlto cross the finish line.

In the fall of 2008, Miller wasa typical third-grader at St. Co-lumban School in Loveland. Hermom signed her up for Girls onthe Run (GOTR) “just for fun.”Little did she know it wouldsparka truepassionforrunning,help her discovered her inner“girl power,” make her set (andbreak) records on her crosscountryteam,andtakehertothestate finals.

“Runningmakesme feel hap-py and free,” Miller said. Shefondly recalls her first years inGOTR.

“I remember how exciting itwas to get my first pair of realrunning shoes, and how muchfun the practice 5Kwas, with allof the crazy hair and the wholeatmosphere. And I certainly re-member the actual 5k! It was socold. I remember beingbummed that my running part-ner kept wanting to stop andwalk. I just wanted to run!”

Girls on theRun inspires pre-teen girls to be healthy and con-fident using a fun curriculumthat creatively integrates run-ning. The 12-week programtakesplace in thefallandspring,and uses exercise, positive rein-forcement, and encouragingrolemodels to providegirlswiththe confidence they need in thecritical pre-teenyears.GOTRofGreater Cincinnati (Ohio, Ken-tucky and Indiana)was original-ly founded in 2005 with just 12participants. This fall that num-ber had risen to more than 1,100girls. Each 75-minute lessoncombines running and walkinggameswithvarious lifeskills, in-cluding lessons on healthy eat-ing, body image, setting goals,cooperation and other age-ap-propriate topics.

All teams join together at theend of the season for a 5K (3.1-mile) celebrationevent,manyofthem competing in a “real” racefor the first time.Miller was thefirst girl to cross the finish line,and earned third place overallwithanimpressivepersonalrec-ord of 18 minutes, 59 seconds.

“I was really happy to break19 minutes, because it was onlymy second 5K in a few years,and I didn’t knowwhat I was ca-pable of. It was a really funmorning, getting the youngergirls firedup to run, spraypaint-ing their hair, celebrating girlpower, and cheering them on. Ihope they all keep running andlove it asmuch as I do,” she saidwith a smile.

GOTRcoachKarenRobinsonsees what a strong role modelMiller has become for theyounger girls.

“Over the last few years Ihave witnessed the growth inKatie’srunningability,aswellasthe growth in her character. Shehasan inner strength thatdrivesher forward, but she motivatesothers to improve themselvestoo. She’s a leader on and off therace course.”

Another runner, Payton Rob-inson, 11, summed up the senti-ment of the race.

“I loved the energy from therace. It helpedme to run strong,but it felt like a celebration of allthe girls that were there. It felt

good that we all got to ‘win’ to-gether!”

Afterher successwithGOTRas a third-grader,Millerwent onto run track and cross countrywith SMAC – a track and crosscountryrunningclubcomprisedof students from St. Columban,St. Margaret of York, Milford,Kings, Loveland, St. Susannaand St. ThomasMore.

Miller believes a big part ofher success comes from hercoaches.

“My very first coach everwas Mrs. Robinson from third-gradeGOTR.IrealizedthenthatI liked running more than mostof the other girls did. I ran trackthe next year and Mrs. Frickewas my first track coach. I re-member Mrs. Fricke telling allof us to finish each race with asmile. I still think of that, eventhoughI’ve learnedtoputevery-thing on the line now and I usu-ally don’t have enough energy tosmile. The coach that has influ-enced me the most, though, ismy current coach, Dave Robin-son.Hehashelpedmetosee thatI can do more than I everthought possible. He pushes metogrowasarunnerandaperson.Hehas taughtusall that ‘Dream,

Believe, Achieve’ is more thanjust our running club’s motto.They are words that I live bynow.”

Miller leaves behind bigshoes to fill and lotsofrecords tobreak. She was undefeated go-ing into the state junior highcross country meet, where shecame in second place. She setthreenewmeet recordsover thecourse of the season, and brokethe record that she had set lastyear as the fastest cross countryrunner from SMAC.

Her current coach, Dave

Robinson, helps her stay moti-vated, setting goals that sheworks hard to break. Miller suf-fers from asthma, which makesher feelwinded at times, but sheperseveres.

“I just push through it. I loverunning toomuch to give in to it.I also do interval training andmileage, and eat a lot of pasta!”

In fact, Miller confesses tobeing addicted to running.

“That’s one addiction that isgood, right? I would run everyday if Dave would let me. I hatewhen we’re not allowed to runfor a few weeks at the end ofeach season.” She borrows aphrase from Disney’s “FindingNemo”when she advises young-er runners to “just keep swim-ming.”

Miller has high hopes for herfuture, as well as short-termgoals.

“I would love to run in theOlympics! But I’m looking for-ward to running cross countryand track in high school. I can’twait forthechallengeofrunninglonger distances and competingagainst the best. I know that Iwill only get better by runningagainst people better thanme.”

Giving back is an important

part of the SMAC family. Millerorganized a SMAC Relay forLife team after track seasonended in June. “We walked andran laps, stayed up all night, andraised more than $3,300 for theAmerican Cancer Society. Wewere one of the top fundraisersat the Loveland event last year,andwe’re looking forward to do-ing it again next year. It’s a lot offun and it’s for a great cause,”she says.

Miller also gives back to herGOTRprogrambyvolunteeringat the St. Columban practice 5K,where the motto is “Finishing isWinning.” In preparation for theend-of-season event, the currentGOTR girls run eight lapsaround the school with theirfamilies, friends, teachers andstaff cheering them on. Millerand other GOTR alumni handout cups ofwater, hold the finishline tape (one for each girl), andrun a few laps.

Most importantly, they en-courage each girl to “just keepgoing,” and they congratulatethemwhen they are finished.

I always get senti-mental around Valen-tine’s Day. I rememberbeing a kid in secondgrade, hoping I’d getsome Valentine cards

frommyclass-mates,partic-ularlyBobbySimpson.It wasalwaysfunwatchingmy boyswhen

they were that agechoose special cardsfor their Valentines.Times change, but themessage is the same.Anybody can be yourValentine, so remem-ber those folks whohave lent a helpinghand, or who may justneed cheering up. Sendthem a funny kid’s cardwith a note and, if youcan, share one of theserecipes with them.Chocolate rules!

Cappuccinomochapudding cake akaUpside down hotfudge pudding cake

If you’re making thisfor kids or someonewho doesn’t like coffeeflavor, leave outespresso. The fun thingabout this is you learn abit of food chemistry:the hot fudge sauce ispoured over the top ofthe cake batter, and asthe cake bakes, thesauce turns to puddingand sinks to the bottomwhile the cake batterrises to the top!

Cake:

2 cups flour1⁄3 cup plus 1 tablespooncocoa powder

2 teaspoons instantespresso coffee powder

1 tablespoon bakingpowder

11⁄2 cups sugar1 cup chopped toastedwalnuts or other nuts(optional)

1 cupmilk4 tablespoons meltedbutter

2 teaspoons vanilla

Preheat oven to 350degrees. Spray 9-inchby 13-inch pan. Whiskflour, cocoa, espressopowder, baking powderand sugar together. Inseparate bowl, whiskmilk, butter and vanil-la. Add this to dry in-gredients and blend.Pour into pan.

Pudding:

1 cup sugar1 cup brown sugar, firmlypacked

1⁄2 cup plus 2 tablespoonscocoa powder

13⁄4 cup very hot water

Mix sugars and co-coa. Pour water overand whisk. Pour ever sogently and evenly overbatter. Pudding willlook quite thin but getsreal thick as it bakes.Bake 30-35 minutes oruntil center is set andjust firm to touch.Don’t over bake or youwon’t get much pud-ding!

Tips from readers’kitchens

Tortellini soup up-date. Sandy, a loyalreader, made the tortel-lini soup with spinachand used a 19 oz. bag oftortellini and found itwas way too much forthe quart of broth. Shedecided to add morebroth, which worked.

Sandy asked me tospecify howmuch tor-tellini to put in. I wouldsay start with 2 cupstortellini and go fromthere.

John Pancoast’s egg-plant casserole. MaryLou K. made thishealthier by substitut-ing whole wheat crack-ers for the topping andlow-fat yogurt for thewhipping cream. “Itwas very delicious andwould make a greatmain dish, though wehad it with trout andconsidered it our vege-table and starch,” shesaid.
