Nobody ever eats Eunice’s eggs – she’s just too dad-blamed old and has seen too much in the world to have old folks like us taking her pride and joy(s) and scrambling them into breakfast. How insulting! Nope… only the most ingenious things happen to Eunice’s eggs, like the time I saved a bunch, blew them out and made a lovely wind-chime with her speckled, hollowed out eggs – all nice and twirly and glistening in the sunshine on the front porch. No, they didn’t make any magical sounds but it sure did look pretty.

Eunice is a wonderful pet, and a prize winning Chauntecler hen who’s relatives come all the way from Paris, France. Her great, great, great, great, great, great Grand-Cock won a ribbon at a big fowl show at Madison Square Gardens in the 1940′s. He was as handsome as Fred Lorenzen I tell ya! Wattles and all!

So now Eunice’s egg is simply sitting on the window sill of the kitchen until I can figure out what ingenious thing to do with it. And Eunice is in her nest enjoying some fresh chicken scratch and thankful that someone is babysitting her “kid” while she gets her beauty rest!

Goodbye to the good folks, Beulah!

Here’s the recipe for my famous Cornbread stuffin’:

Beulah’s Cornbread Stuffin’

• 1 (16 ounce) package dry corn bread mix
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1 small onion
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons dried sage
• salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

• Prepare the dry corn bread mix according to package directions. Cool and crumble.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease one 9×13 inch baking dish.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and saute the celery and onion until soft.
• In a large bowl, combine the celery, onions, 3 cups crumbled corn bread, eggs, chicken stock, sage and salt and pepper to taste; mix well.
• Place into prepared dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.

Everything turned out real fine and we really enjoyed ourselves. It was nice of Gravel Gertie to have called in last night after being abducted by aliens; it’s always nice of folks to share their adventures with us here in the cabin. So here’s to all of our wonderful listeners out there in the big world – we want to wish each and every one of you a real fine Christmas and we hope nobody got one of them turkey deep fryers and set their cabins ablaze!

Goodnight to the good folks, Beulah

Been a good year here at Speedway City although sometimes I wonder if them other radio folks is laughin at us or with us but it don’t really matter so much. Just so long as well all have a good time and nobody gets hurt. Except for the odd sqwerl that gets made into sqwerl-kabobs but that there is another story!

Well I best go and start making the stuffin for tonights turkey. I’m sure Harold is likely pouring down some Cabin Fever in his rutabaga hole so I’m going to go give him a kick now.

 Don’t forget that there’s a new bunch of stuff for you Speedway fans over at the iHick.com store. That nice lady at the radio station drew a real nice picture of my favorite hen Eunice and she’s now on shirts and hats and stuff. Things you’d wear to the lodge or church on Sundays!

Until next time,

“say goodbye to the good folks, Beulah”
