Historical AZ tapes for AHS tours

 

Finding old VHS  tapes with valuable information about Arizona and it's history in the archives, Dawn Nave converted them to 20 DVDs. They are perfect for school tours and will be used in the recently renovated Brown Gallery. The material is age appropriate and in compliance with AZ education standards. The VHS tapes were from various sources including KAET Channel 8 and private collections. Interim Director Linda Whitaker thanked the Historical League for funding for this project.

School tours of Museum

Love to see the lobby full of students exploring the AHS Museum. Lots of laughter and excitement as they toured through. Nothing like a healthy homemade snack of Granola, page 196 of Tastes & Treasures to keep them loaded with energy.



Granola
4 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups pistachios
1 1/2 cups pecans
1 1/2 cups slivered almonds
1 1/2 cups sunflower seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup honey
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup finely chopped assorted dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cranberries, dates)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the oats, coconut, pistachios, pecans, almonds, sunflower seeds and cinnamon in a bowl. Combine the honey, brown sugar, molasses and butter in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until blended, stirring frequently; do not allow to boil.
Pour the honey mixture over the oats mixture and mix until coated. Spread the oats mixture on a greased baking sheet with edges. Bake for 15 minutes or until the oats are golden brown, stirring frequently. Spoon immediately into a heatproof bowl and stir in the dried fruit. Store in airtight containers or sealable plastic bags in a cool environment for up to 2 months. Freeze if storing for longer than 2 months. Makes 16 to 18 cups.
Hint - Do not let the granola sit on the hot cookie sheet.
