Ice Cream Bread—adapted from recipe discovered on the Internet by Joy Sexton

Ingredients:

  • 1 pint any flavor ice cream, softened (I used Vanilla Bean)
  • 1-1/2 c. self-rising flour (may substitute with 1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour and 1-1/2 t. baking powder—I did)
  • ¼ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 dried apricot halves, snipped into small pieces
  • 2 dried apricot halves
  • 1 t. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 T. apricot preserves

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray bottom and sides of an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2-inch loaf pan with vegetable spray with flour. In a bowl mix together ice cream and self-rising flour. Spray the blades of a kitchen shears with vegetable spray. Snip 8 dried apricot halves into small pieces. Add to batter. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour mixture into prepared loaf pan. Level batter with small bent-handle spatula. Decorate top with remaining dried apricot halves and chocolate chips. Bake for approximately 45 minutes. Test for doneness; no batter should cling to a cake tester or toothpick. Remove from oven. Brush top of loaf with optional apricot preserves. Cool in pan for 10 min. Turn out of pan on to cooling rack. Cool thoroughly before enjoying.

NOTE from MISS NiNi: This is an unusual, very simple to make, dense bread. The original recipe only called for ice cream and self-rising flour. The ingredients added by Miss NiNi definitely helped with the textural and flavor profiles and indeed brought some colorful pizzazz to this bread. Brushing the top of the bread with apricot jam after baking gave a shiny luster, giving the bread a more inviting presentation. I found that the more bites I took, the more I enjoyed it. Make this recipe your own by adding, deleting, or changing fruits, chocolate chips, and nuts. OR leave the batter “naked” without added fruits, nuts, or chips. Plate cut slices and adorn with fresh fruit and whipped cream.

Sports

May 22nd, 2015 by Ric Hanson

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Logan Sowers hit a grand slam and Indiana stayed alive in the Big Ten Tournament by beating Iowa 10-2 in an elimination game Friday. The sixth-seeded Hoosiers (34-21) advanced to face fourth-seeded Maryland (38-20) on Saturday. With the bases loaded in the third inning, Sowers hit a no-doubt shot to the second deck in left field for a 7-0 lead for Indiana.

Austin Cangelosi hit a two-run triple in the second and scored on an Iowa throwing error for a 3-0 Hoosiers lead one frame earlier. Nick Ramos had a two-run single in the fourth. In six innings, Christian Morris (4-1) allowed five hits and two earned runs for Indiana.

Starter Calvin Matthews (5-3) gave up seven hits and seven runs – five earned – in 2 1/3 innings for second-seeded Iowa (39-16). Tyler Peyton had a two-run double.

May 22nd, 2015 by Ric Hanson

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Kendrys Morales hit two home runs and had five RBIs, Chris Young gave up six hits in six innings and the Kansas City Royals defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 Friday night. The Royals improved to 27-14, the best record in the majors, while the Cardinals dropped to 27-15, best in the National League.

Morales, who leads the American League with 37 RBIs, hit a three-run homer with two out in the first. He homered again in the third with Lorenzo Cain aboard for his 13th multihomer game. The five RBIs matched a Royals’ season high. Young (4-0) got 13 flyball outs and struck out two. In Young’s four starts, he has allowed one earned run in 22 1-3 innings (0.40 ERA).

Royals starters Young, Edinson Volquez, Yordano Ventura and Jeremy Guthrie have combined to throw 26 shutout innings while allowing 18 hits in the past four games.

Former western IA Fire Chief admits he lied about fire investigations

News

May 22nd, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Authorities say the former fire chief of Missouri Valley lied to police about his credentials and the steps he was taking to investigate suspected arsons at two local homes. The Daily NonPareil says Johnnie Walker, the former fire chief, pleaded guilty to providing false information to authorities.

In return, prosecutors dropped a charge of interfering with official acts. Judicial Magistrate Jack White sentenced Walker to a 30-day jail sentence, which was suspended. Walker also was ordered to pay $120 in court costs.

Missouri Valley Police Chief Ed Murray said Walker provided false information to investigators on suspected arsons at two abandoned houses. One of the houses, on the northeast corner of 10th and Granite streets, was set ablaze three times in October. The other house, at 105 W. Superior St., was set on fire on March 7th. According to Murray, during the investigation of the Granite Street fires, Walker said that he was a certified arson investigator when he is not and that state arson investigators wouldn’t investigate such a fire when they would.

On the West Superior fire, he told Murray he had taken samples from the scene to a crime lab in Ames when he had not. He also said he was out of town on the night of the fire when he later said he was at home. Walker has said he was home ill at the time. At one point, Walker was supposed to meet with local and state investigators to discuss the West Superior fire but missed the meeting. Murray called him on his cell phone. Walker told him he was traveling to Ames to deliver samples from the fire to the lab.

But Murray could hear wind blowing in the background. He became suspicious and asked one of his officers to go by Walker’s house. The officer found Walker in his front yard, talking to the chief on the phone, not on the way to Ames. State arson investigator John Ticer said that’s impossible, because there isn’t a lab in Ames to test the samples. That was the first piece of evidence that led them to suspect Walker was not telling the truth.

Asked why Walker had misled him, Murray said he didn’t know and would only be speculating. 19-year old Coty Cates, of Missouri Valley, has pleaded guilty in an agreement with prosecutors to one count of second-degree arson in connection to the Granite Street fires. He received a suspended fine of $1,000, ordered to pay restitution to the victim and placed under drug court supervision for two years. Two other arson charges against Cates in connection to the Granite Street fires were dismissed.

Investigators know of no connection between Walker and Cates. The teen is believed to have acted alone. In addition to the Superior Street blaze, state and local officials continue to investigate several other possible arson fires in the area, including a house at 2279 U.S. Highway 30 that exploded Oct. 27, 2013, and numerous hay bales set ablaze on Oct. 31, 2014.

Anyone with information on the fires is asked to call Missouri Valley police at (712) 642-2736 or Ticer at (712) 308-3977.

Iowa reports new bird flu turkey case in Pocahontas County

Ag/Outdoor, News

May 22nd, 2015 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa agriculture officials say an additional turkey farm in Pocahontas County has tested positive for bird flu. If confirmed, the case will be the third in that county. The case brings the Iowa total to 64 farms with bird flu. The Iowa Department of Agriculture estimates 21,000 turkeys on the farm. Iowa has just over 1 million turkeys already killed or to be euthanized as a result of the virus.

Iowa will lose more than 25 million birds, mostly chickens, as a result of the disease which first surfaced just over a month ago. The spread of the disease seems to be slowing with fewer new cases reported daily. Minnesota reported no new cases Friday, the seventh day with no new cases reported.
