Historymaker Joe Garagiola 1926-2016



There are so many tributes to this wonderful man. His good works continue after his passing. The Arizona Republic writes, “Though Joe Garagiola was known around the world for his decades as a baseball announcer, he was much more. Through stints as a ballplayer, TV host and author, he endeared himself to millions. In his later years, he became a part of the community fabric in the Valley.”
The Historical League was proud to honor Joe Garagiola in 2008 as a Historymaker. His biography and many photos can be found at www.HistoricalLeague.org

Fruity Easter Bunny

Let the children make this and just enjoy.

Flatbread appetizer from Karen Swanson

Culinary talents must run in the family since Karen Swanson is a wonderful cook and her son, Ryan, is a fabulous chef at the 5 star Wildhorse Pass resort restaurant Kai. These flatbread appetizers were amazing.
Karen served them at a planning meeting for Evening Under the Stars at the David Wright House, April 9.

Flatbread with Carmelized-Onions and Cheese

Ingredients:
3 large onions, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
14 oz pkg frozen puff pastry
6 oz brie (rind removed) diced
6 oz mild blue cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Directions: Heat oil in large deep frying pan on medium-high, add onions. Cook until wilted and starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 15-25 minutes, until onions are caramelized and golden. Cool. Puff pastry package has two pouches. Pinch both together and roll out to a 12 “ X 16” rectangle. Place pastry on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread onions over pastry. Dot with cheese. Sprinkle with parsley and refrigerate if not baking immediately.
Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and pastry is crisp. Cool for 5 minutes. Cut into 20 squares. Cut square in half diagonally to make 40 triangles.
