Welcome to... Proudly Powering Our Communities... For Over 100 Years! THE Club THE PAPER SHREDDER A young executive was leaving the office one evening when he found the CEO staring at the shredder holding a piece of paper. “Listen,” said the CEO, “this is a sensitive document, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work?” “Certainly,” said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper and pressed Start. “Excellent!” said the CEO as his paper disappeared into the machine. “I just need one copy.” BOOK NOW TO GET YOURS THIS YEAR The Sunroom Co. • Sunrooms 3 - 3½ and 4 season rooms • Windows • Entry Doors • Additions • Patio/Carport Enclosures Locally Owned & Installed For more details visit: www.sunsarsunroom.com 519-542-6006 Isn’t it weird being the same age as old people? Chunky Pork Chili This chili actually tastes like it has simmered for hours, but that time commitment has been greatly minimized. Tender and lean pork tenderloin cooks relatively quickly and the other spicy-good ingredients add to its zesty flavour. Enjoy! 3/4 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 3/4 inch cubes 1 cup beer (or beef broth) 1 (15 oz/425g) can small Mexican red beans or pinto beans, rinsed & drained 1/2 cup salsa (or picante sauce) 1 small onion, chopped 1/2 yellow pepper, cut into chunks 1/2 red pepper, cut into chunks 4 cloves garlic, finely minced 2 Tbsps chipotle peppers, finely chopped (often found in small cans, packed in adobo sauce) 2 1/4 tsps. chili powder 2 1/4 tsps. ground cumin 2 tsps. cooking oil In a large saucepan, heat oil, adding onion and garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, or until tender. In a large bowl, toss together pork, cumin and chili powder. Add to saucepan. Using medium-high heat, cook and stir for 6 minutes, or until pork is browned. Stir in beer, salsa, sweet peppers and chipotle peppers. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 6 minutes, or until pork is done and tender (these lean meat cubes will cook quickly). Add beans and heat through. Makes 4 cups. Chicken Chili Chili’s On! Sharing a bowl of chili with friends, family & loved ones will warm our bodies & our spirits, inside & out. These easy prep options can be made the day before you plan on serving. Truly, chili made the day before is usually superior, as the flavours have had the opportunity to blend overnight. 2 to 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (2 lbs. total) 2 (14.5 oz each) cans white kidney (or cannellini) beans, drained & rinsed 1 cup chicken broth 1 onion, chopped 2 med. jalapeno peppers, seeded & chopped 1 Tbsp canola oil 1 green pepper, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped 1 Tbsp ground cumin 1 Tbsp ground coriander 1 Tbsp lime juice 3/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.

Cover and allow to heat for 15 or so minutes in cooker, ensuring all is hot and ready to serve. Top all 4 generous servings with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

My parents loved to drive to the little surrounding towns and look at the beautiful big old houses. There was no rhyme or reason to where we went, for my family it was a way to dream and relax, well most of the time. In those days it was an inexpensive way to spend some time together as a family, back before you had to sell a kidney to get a full tank of gas. It was not yet law to wear a seat belt so we would pile in the car, the four kids in the back and mom and dad in the front. As we rolled out of the driveway Dolly Parton would start to sing about her ‘Coat of Many Colours’ from the 8-track tape player and my little brother would start to sing along. We would drive along the Sydenham River through Dresden, which was only about a ten-minute drive from our home. It was long enough, however, for the rhythmic sound of the tires on the pavement to lull my youngest brother into the hypnotic sleep that overtakes us all still to this day whenever we are in a car for any length of time. As we made our way through town, my older brother would slide down in his seat in an attempt to hide from his friends the fact that he was hanging out with his family. My sister would be looking out the window for any chance to blow my brothers cover and I would be playing the ‘what if’ game. What if there’s an earthquake? What if all my hair falls out? What if we get a flat tire? In an effort to get me to stop talking for any amount of time at all, my mother would look out the window and ask me if I had seen the giraffe we just passed. Remembering back, I was definitely not the brightest crayon in the box as I whipped my head around to scan the block we just passed in hopes of spotting the totally out of place herbivore. Not only did I fall for it once but repeatedly, never questioning my mother why there were lions, tigers and rhinos hiding behind farmer’s tractors or standing in the middle of a bean field outside of Petrolia. The name game never failed to come up at some point during our drive, this is the game where you have to make up a man’s name and a woman’s name as well as a town and something to sell all starting with the same letter. We would go through the alphabet and whoever landed on q or z would inevitably be stumped until my mom would whisper an answer in their ear in just the knick of time. Usually by the time we reached whatever small town we were visiting, the kids would all be sleeping, resting against each other in the back seat like some strange human domino formation. Mom and dad would slowly tour up and down the streets that resembled any and all Norman Rockwell paintings. They would look at the beautiful old brick homes with all the intricate woodwork adorning the gables and large front porches. That was their time, the part of the trip that belonged to them, to talk and dream or reminisce about life. Those slow, sleepy, dreamy days are held dear by everyone in our family and is something that we enjoy doing now with our own children.
