Recipes & Memories
Recipes are one way food traditions are passed from generation to generation. Through recipes we remember those who have cooked for us, nourished us, provided for us. Recipes remind us of their cooks. This is true for these four Oklahomans, who share the unique memories associated with recipes that are near to their hearts.
Slow Cooker Delights
I prepared all four of these recipes, plus the bonus digital recipe, in less than an hour. They cooked all night and I have food for my family for the next week! Try these out—or let these be the inspiration for your own slow cooked creations.
Table Talk
The Chicken Shack
In the backyard of the Deep Fork River, an unmarked shack is home to some of the best broasted chicken in Oklahoma. Without a sign, it feels like a secret hideout waiting to be discovered. Even the owner gives off an almost Capone-like vibe.

Commentary
New year, new leadership, new (and old) issues
The first day of this year’s legislative activity is Monday, February 4, with several new members joining the ranks of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the Oklahoma State Senate.
A time to reflect on the past and future
February is a good time to look back but also a good time to look forward. From an older electric cooperative member to the younger members out there, I would like to pass on some of my reflections on this fleeting life.
