The narrator of Apparitions, who has recently returned the blind grandson she was raising to the care of his mother, invites a confused

"(Un)like Subjects" aims to present a significant new model for the relationship between women and writing; and theory and fiction. Gerardine Meaney addresses the issues of style and female relationships which have preoccupied the three most influential French feminist theorists and three contemporary women novelists. Meaney traces the connections between the theorists, Helene Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva, and the literary practitioners, Doris Lessing, Muriel Spark and Angela Carter. Her reading of the work of these six women writers traces a new vision of femininity as expressed t

Summervilles State Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee doled out money June 24 to support seven tourism entities.
Every year a portion of the state hotel tax is returned to Summerville for local use. The Tax Advisory Committee is responsible for choosing how to disperse that money. Any entity can apply for funds as long as the entity is a non-profit that drives tourism in the town, said Dowm Hawley, who has served on the committee for two years.
When we give the money we want to make sure its used for true tourism affiliation so we can see the profits coming back, she said.
This year, Hawley said, the committee did not have a lot of money to distribute because last year the state overpaid the town and the state decided not to call it in. Last year the committee distributed $179,406.55. This years entities knew they were going to get a lot less because of the overpayment.
The committee had a total of $71,524.01 available for distribution. The total amount requested by the entities accumulated to $203,763.45.
The distributions were made as follows:
Flowertown Players - $2,930
Sculpture in the South - $2,500
Summerville Community Orchestra - $3,594.01
Summerville DREAM Tourism Advertising - $5,600
Summerville Family YMCA - $10,000
Summerville Jaycees - $900
Summerville Visitor Center (building payment) - $46,000
During the June 24 meeting, committee member Linda Shelbourne made a motion to approve the recommendations as submitted. Hawley seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
Those checks will go out and we will not meet again until next year, Hawley said. And hopefully well have more money next year.
Hawley added that although the entities knew they were getting less money this year the reception was overall positive.
Most of the entities representatives I know on a personal level, she said.
I spoke with most of them and everyone kind of knew what was coming and felt they were represented in a fair way with the money.

Grieg's music in popular culture
The music of the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg has been used extensively in media, music education, and popular music.

Music education[edit]
For the 150th anniversary of his birth, Norway organized a huge celebration, "Grieg in the Schools", which included programs for children from pre-school to secondary school in 1993. The programs were repeated in 1996 in Germany, and called "Grieg in der Schule", in which over a thousand students participated. There were Grieg observances in 39 countries, from Mexico to Moscow.[1]
Further celebrations of Grieg and his music were held in 2007, the 100th anniversary of his death. Bosnia and Herzegovina held a large-scale celebration, featuring Peer Gynt and the Piano Concerto a public concert for children and adults.[2][3] The July 2007 Australasian Piano Pedagogy Conference featured Grieg's works.[4]
The Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery in Nebraska presented a chamber music concert that featured one of Grieg's string quartets.[5] Annual conferences are held for continuing education of music teachers and music therapists in the United States.[6]
The New York Times reviewed one of many concerts for young people with Grieg's music, made popular for today's audiences.[7] The reviewer noted, "Kurt Masur has put youth high on his agenda at the New York Philharmonic, and he was conspicuously present at the orchestra's first Young People's Concert at Avery Fisher Hall on Saturday afternoon.... Children and parents came in fair numbers."[7] However, "the enormous grip of popular culture under which such elements are subsumed and it looks like Mr. Masur and the Philharmonic will have the fight of their lives."[7] Masur the teacher-conductor "wisely called for the Grieg themes about to be heard. His delivery was warm, not without humor and occasionally muddled by struggles with the language." He even "stopped in mid-performance to admire Irene Breslaw's viola solo [in Peer Gynt] and to point out its connection to the American hoedown tradition."[7] In conclusion, The Times asserted that "the melodies, already identified by instrument, emerged from the larger mass and did their work. There is a directness in Grieg's music that travels well across cultural divides."[7]
The Bergen University College, and later, the University of Bergen both named their tertiary music departments "Griegakademiet", in honor of Grieg.[8]
Grieg is alleged to have created the neopagan neologism Ásatrú in his 1870 opera Olaf Tryggvasson.[9]
References to Grieg's music in popular culture[edit]
|This article may contain excessive, poor, or irrelevant examples. (November 2012)
Peer Gynt[edit]
In 1960 Duke Ellington recorded a jazz interpretation of "Peer Gynt" in his Swinging Suites by Edward E. and Edward G. album. The album was rereleased on CD in as Three Suites along with Ellington's reworking of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker in 1990.

This version went unreleased until 1995, when it appeared as a bonus track on a CD reissue of The Who Sell Out.[10][11][12] Tucson Weekly has called this cover a "Who-freakout arrangement"[13] One reviewer calls The Who's version the "weirdest of these" covers on the CD, and claims it is "a rendition of the corresponding extract from Grieg's Peer Gynt suite ... [yet] it hardly sounds like Grieg here, anyway..." Another claims that "the main function of the composition is to evoke thoughts of (naturally) King Crimson and (unnaturally) Pink Floyd, because in parts it sounds exactly like 'Interstellar Overdrive'."[14]
San Francisco psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company performed the song on public television station KQED-TV for the program "Come up the Years" in April 1967.

Film and TV[edit]
The first known use in film is when it was played in the background in one of the scenes in D. W. Griffith's movie The Birth of a Nation (1915).[18]
"In the Hall of the Mountain King" plays a major plot point in Fritz Lang's early sound film M. Peter Lorre's character of child killer Hans Beckert whistles the tune whenever he is overcome with the urge to commit murder. However, Lorre himself could not whistle – it is actually Lang who is heard.[19] The film was one of the first to use a leitmotif, associating "In the Hall of the Mountain King" with the Lorre character. Later in the film, the mere sound of the song lets the audience know that he is nearby, off-screen. This association of a musical theme with a particular character or situation, a technique borrowed from opera, is now a film staple.[20]
In the 1973 film "Soylent Green", the music which played when the flock of sheep appear in the presentation as Edward G.

Piano Sonata[edit]
The motion picture The First Legion used Grieg's Piano Sonata in E minor as a way to introduce a Jesuit priest's prayer. The priest, Father Fulton, plays the sonata as a way of connecting himself to the other Jesuits, when "forced to revise their standards of belief after experiencing first a makeshift and later a 'real' miracle."[29]

It is also cited in comedian Bill Bailey's musical comedy routines focusing on "Cockney music" as an example of cockney-themed classic music.
"Brothers, Sing On!"[edit]
The folk song "Brothers, Sing On!" ( EG 170 - in the original Norwegian "Sangerhilsen") was written by Grieg with lyrics by Sigv. Skavlan, with English language lyrics by Herbert Dalmas and/or Howard McKinney.[31][32] The Mohawk-Hudson Male Chorus Association (MHMCA) presented a massed concert, with 90 male singers, at the historic Troy Savings Bank Music Hall on May 3, 2008, entitled "Brothers, Sing On!", with the titular song, which was also adopted as the organization's theme song in 1974.[33] They had previously performed the same song in the same venue in 2002.[34]
The University of Northern Iowa has gone so far as to name its web site and to start every concert with this song:
What if all men, everywhere in the world, could get together and sing? If there was just one song that could be sung, in a true spirit of peace and brotherhood, "Brothers, Sing On!" by Edvard Grieg would be it. "Brothers, Sing On!" is the timeless gem in many men's choral repertoire. It has been called the 'international anthem' of men's choral singing. For nearly 50 years, "Brothers, Sing On!" has been the mainstay of our Glee Club's repertoire. We have sung it from the top of Mount Vesuvius; a glacier in the Tyrolean Alps; the ancient castles and underground slate mines of Wales; the deck of a ship on the tossing Irish Sea; the Coliseum in Rome, and a great many places in between. We salute the many excellent men's choirs throughout the world, especially the collegiate men's glee clubs, those 'wandering troubadours' whom we hope will inspire future generations of singers.—the Brothers, Sing On! web site, [31]
Other pieces[edit]
The musical Song of Norway, based very loosely on Grieg's life and using his music, was created in 1944 by Robert Wright and George Forrest and a film version was released in 1970. The 1957 made-for-TV movie musical The Pied Piper of Hamelin uses Grieg's music almost exclusively, with "In the Hall of the Mountain King" being the melody that the Piper (Van Johnson) plays to rid the town of rats.

QUICK LOOK AT THE LOBOS - New Mexico is a mix of five returning letterwinners, two junior transfers and five freshmen. The young team has already eclipsed last season's win total and is looking to move up the Mountain West Conference standings with a strong league showing. UNM picked up its first conference win of the season with a three-game sweep at Air Force Oct. 8.
The Lobos showed their promise after claiming the Albuquerque Marriott Classic Sept. 17-18 with victories over Hartford, UTEP and Weber State. UNM placed four players on the all-tournament team, including Nicole Ryan, who was named the Most Valuable Player. UNM nearly upset then-No. 22 Utah in its last home match Oct. 2, leading two games to one and leading by five points midway through the fourth game before the Utes rallied back for the win.
Head coach Kelley McKee is in her third season with the Lobos, teaming up with third-year assistant Brent Aldridge and second-year assistant Chelsea Robb. McKee has a 164-159 (.508) career record in 12 years of coaching. She amassed a 143-104 (.579) in her nine years at Northern Arizona prior to arriving at UNM.
The Lobos were picked to finish seventh in the Mountain West Conference preseason poll. Individually, Adah Burke earned preseason All-Mountain West honors as the top libero in the conference.
-- Junior Chelsea Sondrup became the all-time leader in New Mexico history in block assists after recording 10 in the Utah match Oct. 2. Sondrup currently has 261 career block assists and now is adding to her all-time record every match - she put down seven in last week's action against New Mexico State and Air Force. Sondrup's next goal is to become the all-time blocks leader in school history - she is currently seventh on the school charts with 277, 49 behind Linda Archuleta's school record 326. Sondrup is third in MWC matches with 1.58 per game.
-- Junior Nicole Ryan leads the team and is seventh in the Mountain West with 3.30 kills per game. In Mountain West matches, she is fifth with 3.53 kills per game.
-- Senior Adah Burke is living up to her billing as the top libero in the Mountain West Conference. The preseason All-MWC selection leads the team and is second in the league with 4.33 digs per game. She dug a career-high 32 in the Wyoming match Sept. 24, which is third most in a match in school history and second most in a MWC match.
-- UNM's sweep at Air Force Oct. 8 was their first road sweep since Oct. 25, 2002, which also came against the Falcons.
-- The win over Air Force marked the second sweep this season for the Lobos. The Lobos also took care of Hartford in three games Sept. 17 in the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic.
-- The Air Force win snapped a season-high five-match losing streak.
-- The Lobos are third in the MWC with 3.21 blocks per game in conference matches. They set a school record with 43 block assists in the Utah match Oct. 2. The Lobos' 22.5 team blocks vs. the Utes are the most of any Mountain West team this season.
LOBOS FALL TO ARCHRIVAL NEW MEXICO STATE, BOUNCE BACK WITH WIN AT AIR FORCE: New Mexico's week was a tale of two matches - a tough road loss at archrival New Mexico State, followed by a dominating three-game triumph at Air Force.
The Lobos fell to New Mexico State in three games, 15-30, 21-30, 25-30, Tuesday, Oct. 5 at the Pan American Center on the NMSU campus.

Therkelsen, Jennifer Heasty, Chelsea Sondrup and Samie Weber all had four blocks for UNM.
Several Lobos turned in impressive all-around performances in helping UNM sweep past Air Force in three games, 30-25, 31-29, 30-23, Friday, Oct. 8 at the Cadet East Gym. New Mexico earned its first Mountain West Conference win of the season in improving to 7-9 (1-4 Mountain West) for the year, while the Falcons remained winless in MWC play (4-11, 0-5 MWC).
Kelly Therkelsen led the UNM offense with 13 kills and only hit two errors for a career-high .524 attack percentage. Nicole Ryan hit .368 with eight kills and just one error, and also collected nine digs and two blocks. Monica Meihack dished out 36 assists and had eight digs and Adah Burke led the defense with 12 digs. Freshman Samie Weber continued her presence on the front line with seven kills and three blocks.
The Lobos led for most of the evening throughout the three games. In the first game, Air Force scored the first point, but after the Lobos quickly tied it at 1, UNM led the remainder of the match. Jennifer Heasty, who collected nine kills in the match and hit a season high .375, put down five in the first game without committing a single error. Therkelsen had four kills in the first game as the Lobos won, 30-25.
The second game was the closest of the match, and the Lobos had to rally late to pull out the 31-29 win. Air Force led the game, which featured seven ties and seven lead changes, 29-28, and was serving for the win. A service error by the Falcons tied the game at 29 apiece, and the Lobos responded to the miscue with a service ace by Ryan and a kill by Chelsea Sondrup to win the game, 31-29.
UNM dominated the third game, leading the entire way en route to the 30-23 victory. The Lobos ended the game on a 15-8 run in putting the Falcons away.

Burke is second in the conference with 4.33 digs per game and was named the top libero at the Albquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic (Sept. 17-18). She recorded a career-high 32 digs at Wyoming, which is third most all-time in a UNM match and second all-time in a Mountain West match. In conference matches, Burke is third in the league with 4.42 digs per game.
BLOCK YOU VERY MUCH: Junior Chelsea Sondrup is climbing the career charts at UNM in blocks in her third season. Sondrup is seventh all-time with 277 blocks (record: 326) and became the leader in block assists when she recorded 10 vs. Utah Oct. 2. Sondrup currently has 261 career block assists.
This season, she is second on the team with 67 blocks (1.22 per game; seventh in MWC). Her 30 blocks (1.58 pg) in conference action ranks third in the conference. She earned Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic all-tournament team honors after putting down 11 block assists vs. Weber State, which is the second most in a UNM match.
Sondrup also holds the single-season UNM mark for block assists, as she tallied 131 her freshman year. She also established UNM single-match block (14) and block assists (13) records with her performance against SMU on Sept. 20, 2002.
BLOCK YOU VERY MUCH, Pt. 2: Following in Sondrup's footsteps, freshman Samie Weber has put on an impressive display of blocking in her rookie season. Weber leads the team with 71 blocks (1.16 per game), which is eighth in the MWC. Her 11 blocks (one solo, 10 assists) against Utah Oct. 2 tied for the second most ever in UNM match. In conference matches, Weber is seventh in the MWC with 1.26 blocks per game. Weber earned all-tournament honors in both the Comcast Lobo Invitational and the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic.
SET ME UP: Senior setter Monica Meihack returns as the starting setter for the third straight year. Meihack collected a double-double in the first match of the year against Northern Colorado, tallying 50 assists and 10 digs. She dished out a season-high 55 assists vs. UTEP Sept. 18. For the season, she has recorded at least 50 assists on five occasions. Meihack, a Fallon, Nev., native, is sixth in the Mountain West with 10.39 assists per game.
FROM THE BEACH TO THE DESERT: Junior outside hitter Nicole Ryan transferred to UNM this season after playing for Golden West Community College in California last year. She led the Rustlers to a perfect 22-0 season in 2003 and is looking to bring some of that magic to the Lobos in 2004. Ryan displayed her winning mentality in the Albuquerque Marriott Lobo Volleyball Classic, leading the Lobos to a perfect 3-0 record. She was named the MVP of the tournament after averaging 4.00 kills per game and 1.42 blocks per game, all while hitting at a .339 clip.
Ryan currently leads the team with 3.30 kills per game, which ranks seventh in the Mountain West. Her numbers are even better in conference matches, as she is fifth in the league with 3.54 kills per game. She put down a season-high 22 kills at Wyoming Sept. 24.
THERKELSEN SHOWING IMPROVEMENT: Sophomore Kelly Therkelsen has shown dramatic improvement in her second season as a Lobo. She is second on the team with 3.01 kills per game (13th in Mountain West), which is an improvement over last year's 1.72 kpg. Therkelsen earned Comcast Lobo Invitational all-tournament team honors the first weekend of the season, and the following week she earned all-tournament accolades at the Delaware Invitational after recording a career-high 25 kills against George Washington. In last Friday's win over Air Force, Therkelsen hit for a career-high .524 (13K-2E-21TA) with a team-high 13 kills.
HEASTY BRINGS EXPERIENCE TO THE FRONT LINE: Sophomore outside/middle Jennifer Heasty is one of five starters returing to the lineup this season for UNM. Heasty led the Lobos in 2003 in hitting percentage and is very versatile around the net. Thus far in the conference season, she has displayed her blocking ability, racking up 29 in four matches to rank fourth in the Mountain West. Heasty put down a career-high 11 blocks against Utah Oct. 2. She is also seeing improvement in her hitting, as she had a season-high .375 attack percentage (9K-3E-16TA) in the Air Force match Oct. 8.
LIVE FROM BUDAPEST: Junior transfer Gabriella Veres, a native of Budapest, Hungary, made her Divison I debut against Creighton Sept. 4. She also saw action at Air Force Oct. 8. Veres has played on the Hungarian Junior National Team and was a member of the PRSC Division II junior championship team in 2003 (21-under) and the PRSC Division II championship team in 2004 (all ages).
BRINGING A LOCAL FLAVOR TO THE LOBOS: Two freshmen on the team this season, Laura Conklin and Jessica Hezekiah, hail from Albuquerque. Conklin is a defensive specialist who has seen action in 50 games this season and is averaging 1.18 digs per game. Hezekiah has played in seven games.

Event Details
Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park invites everyone to experience "Christmas at the LBJ Boyhood Home and the Johnson Settlement Cabin on December 5. National park rangers will provide an open house of the historic homes, all decked out for Christmas celebrations in the 1920s and the 1860s from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. each evening.
The LBJ Boyhood Home will be lamp lit, giving visitors an opportunity to experience family life at the Johnsons' house as it was more than eighty years ago. National park rangers and volunteers team up to portray a 1920s Christmas, complete with a cedar tree in the parlor adorned with handmade ornaments and a toy display beneath, and authentic decorations and seasonal goodies throughout the home.
Afterwards visitors can board the shuttle bus at the back gate for a five-minute ride to the Johnson Settlement, where they are guided by lantern light even further back in time to a late 1860s Christmas in frontier Texas. The Exhibit Center will be open for visitors wanting to immerse themselves in what life was like on those cattle drives of long ago, or learn about Lyndon Johnson's ancestors and what their lives were like on the settlement lands and about other families who came after them and farmed this harsh land. Further up the path is the original Sam Ealy Johnson cabin, where Lyndon Johnson's grandparents first homesteaded in 1867. Here the lighting is provided by candles, oil lamps, and two fireplaces. The decorations here are much simpler, but there is also a tree and some toys, as well as seasonal music. Just as strangers were welcomed in the past, visitors are offered refreshments before they strike out again on the trail home.

Joe Nell Barnett said:
I have been out of town and just got around to glancing at back issues of the Lexington-Herald. My Mother always served banana croquettes at holidays and other special occasions but would NEVER have considered using mayo, Miracle Whip or any other bought dressing. Our family would not have eaten them that way and would have felt that to be an imitation of the real thing. My Mother made her dressing from scratch and I can attest to the fact that it is much better.
Mattie's Dressing for Banana Croquettes
Beat 1 egg, add 3 Tablespoons sugar, 2 Tablespoons vinegar, 1 Tablespoon flour, 1/2 cup water. Cook until thickened. Cool to room temperature. Roll the bananas in sauce then crushed peanuts. Delicious!!!
Suzanne Peal writes:
"My mother-in-law made "banana fritters" using a homemade dressing and spanish peanuts. Her dressing consisted of an egg and equal parts of vinegar and sugar (being a country cook, she never measured). Roll the bananas in the dressing after it cools and then roll it in the nuts which have been smashed by hammer. I have been able to approximate her recipe but I always have trouble with the egg. The white tends to cook up into white pieces. I have overcome that problem by straining the dressing."
Barbara Vance recalls:
"I remember McKnight's Boarding House in Cynthiana serving banana salad, which was banana's sliced bite size, tossed lightly with Miracle Whip, sprinkled with chopped peanuts. Your article brought back happy memories of the late 50's."
Stanye DeBell Adkinson of Berea remembers:
My maternal grandmother, Mrs. S.R. Demaree of Bardstown (better known as Ms. Demie) made banana croquettes part of her holiday dinners. We cousins would fill out plates with them in fear that we wouldn't get our "fair share." There may have been room left for a sliver of turkey, but I wouldn't swear to it! She would be happy to know that her great great grandchildren are now enjoying the tradition she began.
Thanks for asking "what I know about banana croquettes." Simply put, they represent love and family as well as good eating!
Bob Zwicker writes:
Your article about banana croquettes stirred up some great memories for me – growing up in Louisville back in the '50's. We had banana croquettes at every special occasion, and my sisters still serve them regularly. (My job as a kid was to crush the peanuts.) Incidentally, this dish was served regularly in some local restaurants years ago – notably the Blue Boar in Louisville. My sister said she first learned the dish from our grandmother, who died in 1945, so it must go back to the '30's, at least.
I managed to get the recipe for the syrup from one of them, and here it is:
2 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vinegar
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter
Mix flour, sugar and salt. Stir in vinegar and milk. Heat until it bubbles, then stir in a well beaten egg. Heat for about 2 minutes, then add butter. When butter is melted and mixed in, syrup is ready. When cooled to room temperature, pour on sliced bananas and sprinkle on crushed peanuts.
Ellen Napier of Lexington writes:
I'm from Bloomfield in Nelson County, and banana croquettes are still a "must have" for special occasion dinners with my family. Banana croquettes grace the table every Easter, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The Thompson recipe (my maiden name is Thompson) was very simple: Miracle Whip, bananas, and Spanish peanuts. My best friend's mother used mayo, sugar and milk to create a dressing, and another friend's mother made a dressing by cooking eggs and sugar together. I usually was the one to make the banana croquettes in my family, and, to this day, we still use the little plastic grinder where the peanuts go in the top, the handle is turned, and the ground up peanuts fall into the bottom of the container. Our peanuts were coarsely ground while some friends would use very finely chopped peanuts.
I didn't realize banana croquettes weren't widely known in Kentucky until I took them to a potluck in Lexington at my first job after college. The ladies who set up the buffet table put them with the desserts. I couldn't believe no one knew they were considered a side dish or salad! That was about 25 years ago, and since then, I have informally polled people I meet about banana croquettes. No one ever knows what they are. I concluded that they must be known only in Nelson County. I was glad to see in your article that Bowling Green knows about them too.
Patsy Carter Shryock of Versailles:
I read with interest your article on banana croquettes. I grew up in Nonesuch, and my family called this particular dish "banana salad." My mother, Margaret Carter, would always take "banana salad" to our Homecoming picnics at Nonesuch Presbyterian Church, and we usually had them in the summer at our picnics. We use sliced bananas with Miracle Whip salad dressing spread lightly on the bananas with crushed peanuts heavily applied. Incidentally, I always use my Grandmother's rolling pen to crush the peanuts.
Melinda Warford (for my Mother, Sherley Teater who lives in Nicholasville:
Today I received a note in the mail from my Mother along with your recent article on banana croquettes. She wanted me to send our family recipe in which is a must have at our house on holidays. My Mother calls her recipe "Banana Salad" and she got the recipe from her Mother (my grandmother) who in turn years ago acquired it from a neighbor. It goes like this:
"Banana Salad"
2 whole eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons. vinegar
Cook until thickened and add 3 or 4 tablespoons cream. Let cooll.
Slice bananas in half, spread dressing on and add crushed peanuts.
Barbara Harper-Bach of Lexington:
My mother used to make this salad all the time and it was one of our favorites.
Using four bananas, sliced in half lengthwise, spread with Old Fashioned Creamy Peanut Butter and put back together. Cut each banana in half and place both halves, side by side, on a bed of lettuce leaves for each serving. Cover with cooked salad dressing (spread all over to completely mask the two banana sandwich halves) and cover with chopped peanuts. Add a small dollop of mayonnaise on top (this is no double where the mayonnaise addition came from). The wonderful flavor of the cooked dressing insures that the lettuce will be devoured also. Makes four salads.
Cooked salad dressing:
½ cup vinegar
1 cup sugar
1 egg
Beat egg; add sugar and vinegar, beating together well. Cook in small, heavy saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Let cool.
Vickie Ritchie of Paris:
There was a place in Cynthiana, McKnight's, that served banana salad. It was like a smorgasbord. They served everything in wood bowls on the table and you would sit and eat with everybody. When I read that, it brought back childhood memories. When I was about 5 or 6 or 7, my parents and I would go every weekend. Dad would get paid and we'd go to McKnight's.
Debbie Gordon Lucas of Lawrenceburg:
"I am so glad to know that there are other people who know what a banana croquette is! I grew up with my grandparents in Anderson County, KY (in the sixties & seventies) and have wonderful memories of great country food. I still cook that way! My grandmother made banana croquettes for many many summer meals and we would always eat those first and followed by tons of fried chicken, etc. We would also have fried rabbit, squirrel, quail, etc. along with biscuits and gravy for our breakfast too."
Charlotte Hill of Waco:
I just read your article in the October 6 edition of the Herald about banana croquettes. These yummy treats have been a part of every holiday meal in my family for as long as I can remember (I am 58). We made them using Miracle Whip Salad dressing with a little sugar added. Cut the bananas in thirds, roll in dressing and then in crushed peanuts. I grew up on the Marion/Washington county line, close to Maker's Mark Distillery. These were quite popular in that area but when I moved to Lexington upon graduation and later to Madison county, no one here had heard of them. I was amazed this was not something everyone knew about and enjoyed. We still enjoy them at every holiday gathering of my family.
Sue Gage Smith of Lexington:
I got a smile on my face when I read your headline about banana croquettes. I grew up in Springfield (Washington County) KY and there was no question about one item that would always be on the table for any special occasion (and many every day meals) in my family, Banana Croquettes. I have tried to determine where this special dish derived from but have never found out. I just know there was no one in my family who did not love them and looked for them on the table. My families Banana Croquettes are made with my Grandmother, Gage Shehan's dressing recipe and ground peanuts. It gives the Croquettes a sweet and sour taste that blends well with the salty peanuts and the sweet bananas. It is one of our main staples handed down from generation to generation and is now being prepared by my children. Following is the dressing recipe passed down from my grandmother.
2 eggs well beaten
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup white vinegar
Mix well and cook on medium to medium low heat stirring constantly until thickened. Cool. To this dressing add 2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise to thin and flavor.
Grind red skin peanuts finely. Cut bananas in half or thirds. Roll bananas in dressing mixture to coat well then roll in the peanuts.
Linda Peevy of Lexington:
While I was a student at LSU during the 50's. Our tuition included our room and either a 5-day or 7-day meal plan, so were obligated to eat in one of the school cafeterias. Regularly, we were offered, in the salad section, a whole banana on a lettuce leaf that had been rolled in chopped nuts (pecans or peanuts) or day old yellow cake crumbs and topped with a mixture of peanut butter and honey. It was really good. Your article in the Header-Leader this morning brought back memories of that dish."
Vicki Powers of Willamstown:
My paternal grandmother, Lurah Fortner, made a dish she called "Banana Salad".
This recipe was entered into the Mt. Olivet Church of Christ cookbook "Sharing our Best" in 1995 by my mother, Jo Ann Fortner, who also makes the "Banana Salad". I grew up eating this salad, it is a family favorite.
Lurah Fortner's Banana Salad
Corn flakes
Thin mayonnaise with milk until coating consistency. Cut bananas into
2 to 3 chunks. Crush corn flakes. Roll banana chunks in mayonnaise
mixture then in crushed corn flakes.
Rosa Hicks of Lexington:
Your story about bananas rolled in crushed peanuts brought back a
very good memory for me. My grandmother made these for her children
in the 1920s and for her grandchildren in the 1950s. She would roll
the bananas in pudding (made from scratch, of course) and then in the
crushed peanuts. Sometimes she would put them in the refrigerator to
chill while we ate the meal.
Sharron Kirby of Winchester:
"My mother's people came from Hodgenville, Magnolia, and Hart County. Everybody in my mother's family made banana croquettes. I'm 70, back when I was a little girl we bought Spanish peanuts and took the sin off. Mother would put them in the oven to roast a little bit. We had a hand crank food grinder and we would grind the peanuts and then at the end when we took it apart to wash, there was always a little peanut butter inside.
"Mother made her dressing. It wasn't anything I loved so I never got the recipe. But it was the kind that has 2 eggs, vinegar, sugar and cooked in a double boiler. When it was thick, she added a lump of butter. I've always used mayonnaise.
"Cut the bananas in either two or three pieces and score them with the tines of a fork. I never knew why, maybe to help the dressing adhere."

It will be another five years before he's old enough for a driver's license, but police say that hasn't stopped an 11-year-old from stealing cars.
On September 11th, an employee at Mansel's Wheel Alignment, in Bryan, says he was test-driving a repaired vehicle when he noticed another car from the lot being driven off.
Police say the employee followed the car to Sonic, where an 11-year-old boy hopped out of the car and ran. Employees say they caught the boy. Police say he admitted to stealing the car.
Five days later, Bryan police were called again when they say the same 11-year-old took off with another one.
Mansel employees say he and the car were found at Stephen F. Austin middle school. They say officers told them that was the 5th car the Bryan boy had stolen in 30 days.
The child, whose name is not being released, was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle because of the September 11th incident, and taken to the Brazos County Juvenile Justice Center. If found guilty of the class C misdemeanor, the boy could face up to a $500 fine.
Police say he is also a suspect in a home burglary.

SHREWSBURY, Mass. — There's good news and bad news for customers of Shrewsbury Electric And Cable Operations, the town's public utility that provides electricity, cable, and Internet access.
While their charges for electricity are on the decrease, the cost of cable is increasing.
SELCO Chairman Michael Hale met with Selectmen Dec. 18 to update the board on the utility's future, and what costs may be driving up prices.
The cost of programming from cable networks and fees that local stations charge are increasing, Hale said. Meanwhile, customers are using more bandwidth than ever for more devices, including smartphones and tablets for streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube.
"The game is all about bandwidth. Bandwidth is king. Bandwidth is everything," he said.
According to Hale, more people are moving away from on-demand programming to use high-bandwidth streaming services. Cable operators often provide that bandwidth, but receive no revenue for it.
Hale said that, unless they raise rates, cap data usage, and limit spending on public-access programming, SELCO will be $1.6 million in the red. This comes at a time when SELCO wants a nearly $30 million to upgrade cable connections in town.
The silver lining? SELCO customers will receive a 50 percent one-time discount on their November electric bills, due to the decrease in cost of natural gas. Plus, SELCO might be decreasing electric rates starting in March 2013.
SELCO services 12,000 out of 14,000 households in Shrewsbury. A hearing on whether to renew SELCO's cable contract will be held Jan. 22, 2013.
