Sweet girl!

Sweet tempered young female Labrador retriever Shaela is hoping to be in her new home before summer. She said there are lots of nice people and dogs to play with at the shelter but it’s just not like being in your own home with your forever companion. Please call the Marshall County Humane Society at 662-564-2900 or email dogsncats11@gmail.com for more info. See Petfinder.com for a complete list of animals for adoption.

Swiss Sensation Loaf

1 pkg. yeast
1/4 cup milk, scalded and cooled
3 eggs
1 cup diced Swiss cheese (1/4” cubes)

1/4 cup warm water
1-1/2 tsp. sugar
1/4 cup butter
2-3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt

Dissolve yeast in warm water; add milk, sugar, salt, butter, eggs and half the flour. Beat with wooden spoon until smooth. Add rest of flour, blend with spoon until smooth. Cover and let rise in warm place until double in size (about 1-2 hours). Punch down, cover, ref. overnight and form a flat ball. Knead in cheese until well distributed. Form a round ball and place in greased 8” pie pan. Let rise till doubled. Makes one loaf. Bake 30 minutes in 375° oven. This is unusual and very delicious. Worth the effort!

Spicy Pear Nut Bread

1 cup fresh pears, peeled and chopped (2-3 pears)
1/2 cup veg. oil
1/4 cup sour cream
cups sifted flour
1/4 tsp. each
cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice

1 cup gran. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp. salt

In large mixer bowl, beat together oil and sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then the sour cream and vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients, and add to mixture. Continue beating until well blended. Add nuts and pears; mix well with a spoon and pour into a 9x5 loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour. Cool ten minutes, turn on wire rack. This is good with a cream cheese spread and an accompanying fruit salad.
