Yahoo for Scotcheroos

Grammie’s Rice Krispies Squares took me back to my childhood in Ohio [TCP Kitchen, August 2026]. I have a 1971 booklet in which I wrote “very, very good” by the scotcheroos recipe.

Scotcheroos originated on Rice Krispies cereal boxes in the 1960s. And, yes, they remain popular in the Midwest. My family continues to enjoy them at nearly every gathering 60 years later.

Cool Song Details

Cool Water [Currents, August 2026] was made famous by the Sons of the Pioneers, of which Roy Rogers was the original leader. Dale Evans was not.

The songwriter, Bob Nolan, was one of the group’s original members. He penned it in 1936, and Rogers’ band recorded it in 1941.

That Sonorous Voice

It’s About Time [August 2026] is classic W.F. Strong writing. Without looking at the author’s name, I knew who wrote the lazy, quiet story after the first paragraph. I heard him read it in my head.

Mr. Strong is a Texas treasure like Terlingua or J. Frank Dobie. Thanks for including the QR code so we can hear that sonorous voice read about cowboy time on a quiet Sunday morning. It touched my Texas soul.

Rewarding All Month

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy the magazine. I try to limit my reading to make it last an entire month. It has made me laugh, smile and cry on occasion.
