Got cat treats?

This cat has recently become somewhat of a celebrity. His “Begging Video” on YouTube has been quite popular, along with his audience at Petco - Collierville. He will beg and beg for cat treats. He is still looking for his forever home, but sure hopes whoever takes him will take his buddy, Slinger, who he loves dearly and wants to be with every day. Call the Marshall County Humane Society at 662-564-2900 for an appointment to see all the available pets. See Petfinder.com for a complete list of our animals for adoption.

Recipes

Presented by the Memphis Symphony League

Char Su

2 lbs. pork tenderloin
1/2 tbsp. hoisin sauce
1/2 tbsp. heavy soy sauce
1 tbsp. light soy sauce

3 tbsps sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
several drops red food coloring

Cut tenderloin across grain lengthwise into pieces 6-7 inches wide. Mix remaining ingredients, pour over meat and marinate overnight, turning to coat evenly.

Line small roasting pan with alum. foil and add 1-2 inches of water. Arrange meat on a rack above the water. (This prevents the meat from drying out. Add more water during cooking time, if necessary.) Roast 1-1/4 hours at 375 degrees, turning meat after 45 minutes. Slice very thin and serve hot or cold as an hors d’oeuvre. Can also be served over rice, added to stir-fry vegetables or to soup. Serves 8-10 as hors d’oeuvres or 4-5 as entree.

Rebel Yell Salad

3-oz. pkg. black cherry gelatin
1 cup hot water
16-oz. can pitted, dark, sweet cherries
3/4 cup juice from cherries

1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
juice of 1 lemon
2-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 c. finely chopped pecans
lettuce leaves

Stir gelatin in hot water until dissolved. Add cherries, cherry juice, bourbon and lemon juice, and mix well. Pour into mold and refrigerate until partially set. Stir in marshmallows and pecans, chill until firm. Serve on lettuce leaves. Variation: replace marshmallows with 3-oz. pkg. cream cheese, shaped into small balls. Roll in pecans, carefully fold into partially set gelatin, and chill until firm. Serves 8-10.

Harry Miller dies; stunning blow to community

The South Reporter last week carried a story captioned, “Harry Miller to be home soon.” Thursday morning, before most folks had received their newspaper, the news was broadcast over radio and television that Harry had died in John Gaston Hospital at 6:45 a.m. This was a stunning blow to the millions of people who had rejoiced when it appeared as though he had won the battle for his life the previous week. Harry had been trapped in a cistern for 20 hours during sub-freezing temperatures. The story was publized nationwide. The many who had helped in the rescue were proud when they were told Harry would live. He was able to get out of bed and walk around. In fact, he’d been up walking just shortly before he died. He died of a blood clot in his heart. Services were held Tuesday at New Hope Cemetery in Laws Hill. So now, Harry Miller is “home.”
