From our KLTV cookbook called "Proud of East Texas," (what else?) comes a recipe for a quick seafood dinner.

The recipe was submitted in the 1998 by Diana Conine of Tyler. It sounds pretty simple, delicious, and quick:

Seafood Stroganoff:

1 pound shrimp, crawfish tails, or scallops (or a combination)
1 bunch of green onions, sliced (tops included)
1 stick of butter (ed. note: or a healthy Omega-3 butter blend, like Smart Balance)
4 TBS flour
2 TBS garlic powder (or to taste)
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced (ed. note: you can buy these pre-sliced to save time)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp creole seasoning (any brand you like)
1/2 cup vermouth (optional, but definitely adds better flavor) (ed. note: white wine could be substituted if no vermouth on hand)
1 16 oz. carton of sour cream. (ed. note: light sour cream will cut fat and calories and still be creamy and delicious!)

Peel and devein shrimp, if necessary.

May 19th and 20th at Lake Palestine Resort

Dear WHS Family,

At our recent Volunteer Appreciation Celebration, I said that I need to at least partly step down from the leadership of WHS,, partly because of my husband's health and partly because of my own health. But in order to do that, we must have another leader who is committed enough and free enough to be able to serve when needed and to help us along the way. Polly is wonderful, but it is too much to ask her to do it all by herself. I am sure that none of you realize how much time, planning, gas, community involvement, and working around family, friends and social activities leadership in WHS takes.

This weekend I am unable to help with any of these welcomes, and Polly will do it all. I have done the same by myself, but it is really difficult and stressful to do it alone, and it is unfair to ask Polly to do it all.
