Lovelock Ladies of Longevity know how to cook

LOVELOCK - Those wild Lovelock Ladies of Longevity, also know as the Red Hat Ladies, continue to amaze those half their ages with innovative technology to tantalize the taste buds. Their latest cookbook, "Lovelock Ladies of Longevity Cook," is now available on CD.

The CD has 16 food sections and one titled "Mischievous," which will help you realize how they got their wild reputations. The CD cookbook was developed earlier this year to raise funds for the Lovelock Relay for Life. Sales from the CD are still being donated to the Lovelock Relay.

The Lovelock Ladies of Longevity Cook CD is available for $10 at the Chamber of Commerce in the Lovelock Train Depot and at Temptations at the corner of Main St. and Dartmouth Ave. The CD would also make a great Christmas gift.

Try either or both of the following recipes from their CD for your holiday dinner.
