Recipe -- Alicia's Deadline Delivery

We are deep in the Wednesday Night deadline for the rough draft of the paper - and have just been rescued by daughter-in-law, Alicia who sent the Man Child, Trevor with a complete, hot soup diner. Amid a side of carbs. A lovely soft, French bread with real-life butter. We also may have had a side of left-over lunch from The Grid. Which means, the best Artichoke Jalapeño dip in all the land. Veggies instead of the bread. Dang it, but still. You will love this soup like we did. It brought us back to life.

 

Alicia's Deadline Dinner

  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can with juice Rotel tomatoes
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 can rinsed black beans
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 6 garlic cloves diced
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 onion
  • 4 carrots diced
  • 3 zucchini diced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Brown sausage, add onion, carrots, garlic, celery, Cook 5 minutes on medium heat, add everything but spinach and cook on medium heat for 45 minutes or until tender. Add spinach and cook 15 more minutes. Serve.

They strung them along for years until they had no financial choice but to accept and get out. My Dad even hauled water for the Snow ranch trying to stay afloat. May God bless you all. I truly pray it works out for you.Comment publication date: 3/28/26, 9:22 PMComment source: Local Rancher Says Navy Land Expansion is Devastating His Family RanchComment author: Lynn JohnsonComment text: I remember your mother well; she was a lovely and kind woman.

I see glimpses of your face in the years worn onto my dad. It makes me feel more connected to you in some way. I remember the familiar kindness from you that I know in my dad. I would’ve really liked to have a good conversation. I only have a handful of memories with you, but you were loving, and you were kind. I wish I was able to say more. If I am someone to you, I hope I make you proud. Thank you Aunt for this sweet post.Comment publication date: 3/27/26, 12:11 AMComment source: Obituary -- Randolph Floris Banovich C Comment author: RBCComment text: The Navy should reimburse the market cost of replacing the grazing land they are taking.
