Getting Carried Away with Savory Butternut Squash Muffins with Apples, Caramelized Onions, and Cheddar Cheese
The other day at the market, a woman approached me and said, "Excuse me, but may I ask you a question?"
"What do you do with that?" she asked, and pointed to the huge pile of squash in my carriage.
"The acorn squash?"
"No. That one."
"Oh, you mean the spaghetti squash." (No one ever knows what to do with spaghetti squash.)
"No, no. I know how to cook spaghetti squash. I meant that one," she said, and pointed to the only other squash in my carriage.
"You mean the butternut squash?" I asked, incredulous.
"Yeah. I never know what to do with them," she said.
I was shocked. To me, butternut squash is like your best friend. It's always there when you need it; it's dependable and rarely disappoints; it gets along well with others and is happy to try new things. Unfortunately not everyone has a long-standing relationship with butternut squash. The woman wanted easy ideas and stressed easy. Well, it doesn't get much easier (or tastier) than roasting butternut squash with some olive oil and herbs. She agreed. And it's a wonderful addition to fall salads, soups, pastas, and pizza. I had her until I said, "pizza." That's when her eyes widened in disbelief. I got carried away in the moment.
I didn't tell her I was going to use mine to bake a batch of Savory Butternut Squash Muffins with Apples, Caramelized Onions, and Cheddar Cheese. After the pizza comment, I was afraid she'd ditch the squash and run screaming from the store.
So I'll share my savory butternut squash muffins with you. I have made several different versions of these muffins, but this one is my favorite. Caramelizing the onion and roasting the butternut squash gives these muffins pleasant depth of flavor. Since they're laced with fresh herbs and sharp Cheddar cheese, they're also enticingly fragrant. You could eat them plain, but why would you, when you can smear them with herb butter? They get along really well with hearty soups and chilis as well as salads. I plan on making another batch for Thanksgiving dinner because savory muffins just seem so much more festive than plain old sliced bread.
Savory Butternut Squash Muffins with Apples, Caramelized Onions, and Cheddar Cheese
Makes 12 regular size muffins.
Print recipe only here.
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup milk
1/3 cup honey
2 large eggs
1/3 cup canola oil, plus 2 teaspoons, divided
1 small yellow onion, diced
a pinch of sugar
1 medium mildly sweet apple (such as Fuji), peeled and shredded
1 cup cooked, mashed butternut squash
1- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs, such as rosemary and sage
3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts
Simple Herb Butter:
Add 2 tablespoons fresh minced sage and/or rosemary to 1 stick of softened butter and whisk until smooth. This can be made ahead and refrigerated. Just take butter out about 30 minutes prior to serving.
1. Place rack in center of oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Spray a 12 mold regular size muffin pan with cooking spray.
2. Combine flours, baking soda, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl and stir well.
3. In a separate bowl, combine milk, honey, eggs, and 1/3 cup oil and whisk well.
4. In a small skillet over medium-low heat, warm 2 teaspoons oil. Add onions and sprinkle with a pinch of sugar. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized. Remove from heat.
5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Whisk until combined. Fold in onions, apples, squash, herbs, Cheddar, and walnuts.
6. Spoon the batter evenly into the into 12 muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for 5 minutes before removing each muffin and placing on a wire rack to cool.

I guess we need to rethink what is considered to be every day fare in the "real" world... the "non-foodie" world. I just stuffed some roasted butternut squash into some pasta shells with ricotta and pesto...add a salad and that soundslike every day to me:D

I love this post. Now I can use the butternut squash I have in my pantry. These sound delicious. Thanks

Last week, I roasted a butternut squash from the farm, and then the food processor turned it into a wonderful puree in no time. I used it as a sauce with caramelized onions and rosemary for whole wheat pasta. Absolutely delicious!

I should serve them alongside the butternut squash soup I posted this week!
I love the addition of cheese. One of my fave foods in the world.

I love this! Your muffins are the perfect addition to any Thanksgiving table. Definitely a more special alternative to regular old bread!

- Hilary (Adventures from 14 Maple) said...
Ooh! These sound amazing! I, too, have an ongoing love affair with butternut squash. Squash, in general, is a staple in our home. Also, I discovered this year that pumpkin is just as versatile. I've made pumpkin macaroni and cheese, pumpkin soups, squash rolls, and of course the classic takes on both savory and sweet variations of the roasted pumpkin. I'll be making these muffins next week when I visit my sister for the holiday.

- MyKitchenInHalfCups said...
Gorgeous Susan. These would have been perfect with our chili last night!
I always love that I can peel a butternut so much easier than almost any other squash and then the options just flow out.
- November 19, 2009 at 4:26 AM
- Patricia Scarpin said...
Susan, that woman needs help - I'm glad you were there! :)
I absolutely agree with you - butternut squash gives one so many options it's even hard to pick one. These muffins are making me hungry.

- Tasty Eats At Home said...
This happens to me fairly often when I'm in the grocery - that people ask what to do with a certain produce item. Maybe I choose "weird" produce? Butternut, IMO, is pretty standard! I do, however, have an unnatural obsession with all winter squashes - I keep buying more than I can eat, just so I make sure I always have a bounty of deliciousness around! These muffins sound wonderful.

- Megan said...
Butternut squash is one of my favorite veggies. I almost feel sorry for that woman. These muffins look perfect. I'm going to have to whip up a batch of these babies!

- Jeanne said...
Oh you truly are my hero - these sound DIVINE! I grew up with butternut squash in South Africa and also could not believe how suspicious and ignorant people were of it here in the UK. Clearly it's not just a UK problem though :)

- Laurie said...
My whole family loves butternut squash! These muffins are simply to die for and they would go so nicely with a bowl of homemade soup. It was nice of you to help that poor woman out. Can you imagine missing out on butternut squash?
Haven't tried it on pizza yet, but we love sweet potatoes, gorgonzola and caramelized onions on our pizza, so I'm sure it would be similar.

I would have been shocked too. Give me butternut squash any day and I'll be happy. However, I've never made muffins with it, so your recipe is very intriguing.

I've made several batches of sweet butternut squash muffins in the last few weeks, but this recipe opens a whole new savory chapter in my love for winter squash!

I don't have a muffin pan, so no muffins yet. However, I'm totally intrigued by the idea of butternut squash pizza... please share!

I would love them!! I think butternut is the most versatile (and probably best-tasting) squash of all.

Reminds me of the day I had a reader tell me that tilapia was exotic. "Tilapia? Exotic?" I thought. I can get it frozen at Walmart in a pinch if I am using it in a chowder. I guess anything I can get at Walmart is no longer exotic in my world!

I fell in love with butternut squash last year.. and haven't looked back since! I have one on my counter that will likely be roasted to bring out it's yummy sweetness.
Your muffins look amazing... I love that they are so savory.
- November 19, 2009 at 4:02 PM
- Amy J in SC said...
Wow. A combination I would've never thought about trying but now that you mention it, it sounds yum. I may be trying these next week to go with that leftover turkey. Thanks!

Oh! Can't wait to try this one. I need me some squash. I think it's been almost a year since I last had any fresh ones between all my moves and such.

I thought I was the ONLY one to put butternut squash on pizza! sniff, sniff...a kindred spirit! :-)
- November 21, 2009 at 8:10 AM
- Cara said...
I love butternut squash in savory dishes and how ironic that I just finished off some leftover pizza from our favorite local joint - their "Harvest Moon" pie has thinly sliced butternut squash and sausage, caramelized onions, a balsamic brown sugar drizzle, a little bit of cheese and toasted pepitas. heavenly!

What a great idea to make savory muffins. The combination of flavours is just right for this squash. To be honest I have never tried this squash in muffins but that's about to change

Now those are right up my alley. I've been known to add squash to all sorts of dishes, including dessert. This combo sounds great - hope that woman stumbles across this recipe one day!

- Susan from Food Blogga said...
melanie-I will share one for pizza!
kalyn-I agree. It's still my favorite squash.
cari-Ha! I know what you mean. I guess "exotic" is relative.
patsy-I always have a butternut squash or two on my counter too!
amyj-It's really wonderful, so I hope you try it. Thanks!
quilter-Well, then it's time!
lamailleraye-Great minds... :)
cara-That sounds sensational with sausage! I may have to steal that!
bayonet-Um, don't think so!

Not many people have this knowledge for those kinds of squashes. I just recently knew what to do with the butternut squash,too. My sister told me so. I have been stuck tot hose spaghetti squash and the like.

Oh Man... these are just delicious! I absolutely love butternut squash and I cook with it almost once a week from September through the spring. I'm doing Thanksgiving at my place this year and I stumbled upon your recipe. I just made these tonight (I hope they last until Thursday) and they are just perfect. Thank you so much for sharing!
- November 24, 2009 at 7:50 PM
We totally put butternut squash on a flatbread with caramelized onions, ricotta, and rosemary at Contigo. It went over pretty well :)
- November 25, 2009 at 11:37 AM
- Susan from Food Blogga said...
maureen-Wonderful! I'm so glad you enjoyed them, and I'm even happier that you'll have trouble saving some for Thanksgiving! :)
notquitevegan-Butternut squash was just meant to be paired with rosemary and caramelized onions, wasn't it?
- November 25, 2009 at 6:04 PM

Yummy! We made these for Thanksgiving and were definitely a new keeper recipe. We'd eaten about a third of them before dinner.

how wonderful to see a savoury recipe for pumpkin (oops squash) muffins - I looked for them last year and found them hard to find but roast pumpkin (as I say butternut pumpkin) is wonderful in muffins - will need to try this recipe

Strathmore has kept this reputation as a supplier of fine art paper for over a century.

Angioplasty and related techniques are known
as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Angioplasty is a procedure in
which a narrowed section of the coronary artery is widened. Angioplasty is less
invasive and has a shorter recovery time than
bypass surgery, which is also done to increase blood
flow to the heart muscle but requires open-chest surgery. Most of the time
stents are placed during angioplasty.
angioplasty is done using a thin, soft tube called a catheter. A doctor inserts
the catheter into a blood vessel in the groin or wrist. The doctor
carefully guides the catheter through blood vessels until it reaches the
blocked portion of the coronary artery.
Cardiac catheterization, also called coronary angiography, is done first to
identify any blockages.
View the
slideshow on angioplasty for coronary artery disease to see how an angioplasty is
A small,
expandable tube called a stent is often permanently inserted into the
artery during angioplasty. A very thin guide wire is inside the catheter. The
guide wire is used to move a balloon and the stent into the coronary artery. A
balloon is placed inside the stent and inflated, which opens the stent and
pushes it into place against the artery wall. The balloon is then deflated and
removed, leaving the stent in place. Because the stent is meshlike, the cells lining the blood
vessel grow through and around the stent to help secure it.
Stenting should:
Stent placement is
standard during most angioplasty procedures.
Your doctor may use a bare metal stent or a drug-eluting stent. Drug-eluting stents are coated with medicine that helps keep the artery open after angioplasty.
The procedure may take 30 to 90 minutes. But you need time to get ready for it and time to recover. It can take several hours total.
After angioplasty, you will be moved
to a recovery room or to the coronary care unit. Your heart rate, pulse, and
blood pressure will be closely monitored and the catheter insertion site
checked for bleeding. You may have a large bandage or a compression device on
your groin or arm at the catheter insertion site to prevent bleeding. You will be
instructed to keep your leg straight if the insertion site is near your groin
You can mostly likely start walking within 12 to 24 hours
after angioplasty. You will likely stay one night in the hospital. You may resume exercise and driving after several days.
You will take antiplatelet medicines to help prevent another heart
attack or a stroke. If you get a stent, you will probably take aspirin plus
another antiplatelet such as clopidogrel (Plavix). If you get a drug-eluting
stent, you will probably take both of these medicines for at least one year. If
you get a bare metal stent, you will take both medicines for at least one month
but maybe up to one year. Then, you will likely take daily aspirin long-term.
If you have a high risk of bleeding, your doctor may shorten the time you take
these medicines.
After your procedure, you might attend a
cardiac rehabilitation program. In cardiac rehab, a
team of health professionals provides education and support to help you
recover and build new, healthy habits,
such as eating right and getting more exercise. For keeping your heart healthy and your arteries
open, making these changes is just as
important as getting treatment.
Although many things are involved,
angioplasty might be done if you have:1
Angioplasty may not be a reasonable
treatment option when:
Angioplasty relieves angina and
improves blood flow to the heart. Stents lower the risk of the artery narrowing again (restenosis). If restenosis occurs, another angioplasty or
bypass surgery may be needed.1
With angioplasty,
you'll feel relief from angina sooner than with medicines and lifestyle changes. But over time, both treatments work
about the same to ease angina and improve quality of life.2
Angioplasty can ease angina, but it has not been
proved to help you live any longer than medical therapy does. Also, angioplasty
does not lower the risk of having a heart attack any more than medical therapy
Risks of angioplasty may include:
Medical therapy and lifestyle changes may be a better option than angioplasty for some people. To help you decide if angioplasty is right for you, see the topic:
artery bypass surgery may be a better option than angioplasty for some people. To help you decide if bypass surgery is right for you, see the topic:

Hugh Buckley is my 2nd cousin 2x removed. Our common ancestors are my 3x great grandparents Thomas Buckley and Henrietta Mason.
Hugh was born in Keighley, West Yorkshire about 1888 to parents Smith Buckley and Margaret Day.
I have been fortunate to find his WW1 Pension Records on www.ancestry.co.uk.
Hugh enlisted in the Corps. of Royal Engineers and his attestation was given in Burnley on 30 October 1913. His age is given as 25 years 146 days and his occupation is a 'fitter' at a foundry.
He had a medical examination in Burnley, Lancashire on 27 October 1913. His height is given as 5 feet 7 inches and his weight was 130lbs. Hugh's religious denomination is shown as Roman Catholic.
Hugh's military service was very short. He was discharged on 27 January 1914 after serving only 90 days.
His discharge was under Kings Regulation 392 (v). This regulation allows someone to claim their discharge upon a payment £10 within three months of their attestation.
Of course I can never know the reasons for this sequence of events. However I offer a possible scenario.
Hugh's father, Smith Buckley, died in July 1913 – he was buried at Utley Cemetery, Keighley, on 9 July. Just over three months later Hugh joins the army. Less than three months afterwards he buys his discharge.
Hugh was the youngest of at least seven children. I wonder if joining the army was a rash decision after the death of his father and then seen as a mistake. Perhaps he was needed at home to take of his widowed mother.
Whatever the reasons I imagine this must have been a difficult time for the family.

Fiscal prognosticators everywhere have been busy trying to see ahead into the coming year. They've been doing their best to extrapolate market activity and financial hazards or hallelujahs, based on an iffy climate that includes debt woes in Europe, slowing economies all over the globe, and the possibility of fiscal cliff-jumping at home. Morningstar is no exception, and it has offered a view of the coming year that takes optimism with a grain of salt but doesn't appear to be all gloom and doom, either.
One thing Morningstar doesn't see is smooth sailing ahead. In fact, it regards the mostly optimistic views of others looking ahead as "a little scary." Instead, it says that market volatility "will be a way of life in 2013" thanks not just to Europe's efforts to conquer the debt crisis and China's possible slowdown but a now-you-see-it-now-you-don't U.S. economy that seems to take two steps forward and one step back.
Volatility, it adds, points toward a heightened necessity for stock picking, rather than placing one's trust in market correlation. With the market close to fair value, the view that "all that mattered was getting the macro calls right and positioning your portfolio accordingly" is no longer the way to go. Picking the right stocks, instead of looking for offsets, becomes paramount.
Opportunity beckons, says Morningstar, in "the ranks of wide- and narrow-moat companies, because we believe these firms will earn excess returns for longer periods of time than their no-moat counterparts." Among its top-rated selections are a number of European firms, despite the debt crisis; energy companies; and a few large global companies thrown in for good measure, like Apple (AAPL) and Rio Tinto (RIO).
Both energy companies and technology companies are currently undervalued, in Morningstar's view, with both at 86% of fair value. Overvalued are real estate and consumer defensive stocks, with the former carrying a 4% premium and the latter a hefty 7% premium. Even though yield has beckoned from both, right now investors are risking losses by pursuing current income. Overvalued stocks pose a danger, since "it is a rare dividend that sufficiently compensates for risk" of converging to fair value and driving down overall returns.
What was that other factor? Oh, yes, the fiscal cliff. While there are many who foresee catastrophe should Washington fail for the umpteenth time to reach consensus and come up with a deal that satisfies polar opposites (or, more likely, aggravates both sides considerably), Morningstar is far more sanguine about the possibility. Not only is it optimistic that a resolution will be reached, if not by the end of 2012, then early in 2013—but, failing that, catastrophe is still not at hand.
"It has to get resolved one way or another," points out Morningstar with a healthy dose of realism, "whether politicians finally agree to reach a compromise, or the U.S.is forced into its own austerity. While the latter scenario may bring recession, we think it would result more in buying opportunities than a protracted stock market decline."
(In fact, a deal to avert the fiscal cliff was reached on Jan. 1, though further issues remain–such as raising the debt ceiling.)

MIDLAND CITY, Alabama — The Alabama bus driver slain at the beginning of a multi-day hostage drama was known for his acts of kindness, from fixing someone's tractor to tilling the garden of a neighbor who had a heart attack.
Charles Albert Poland Jr. was mourned by hundreds who gathered at a funeral home not far from the underground bunker where police say an Alabama man was still holding a 5-year-old boy early Sunday. Friends remembered Poland as a humble hero who gave his life to protect the children on the bus — and someone who went out of his way to help neighbors.
"You don't owe me anything," Poland, of Newton, once told a recipient of his good deed. "You're my neighbor."
The 66-year-old Poland was driving a school bus carrying 21 children last Tuesday when an armed man boarded the bus and demanded two boys between 6 and 8 years old. Poland tried to block his way, so the gunman shot him several times and abducted a 5-year-old boy — who police say remains in an underground bunker with the suspect, identified as 65-year-old Jim Lee Dykes.
William Lisenby, a school bus driver who also taught Sunday School with Poland, was flanked by other area bus drivers as he arrived at Saturday night's viewing. Lisenby spoke in Biblical terms when referring to Poland, whose funeral is Sunday afternoon.
"If you'll notice the similarities there, of what Chuck did was the same thing that Jesus Christ did. These children, even though they were not Chuck's, he laid down his life to defend those children. My hat's off to him for that," he said.
Dykes is a Vietnam-era veteran described by some neighbors as a menacing figure with anti-government views. Neighbors said Dykes built the bunker on his rural property, and police have been communicating with Dykes through a ventilation pipe into the bunker. On Sunday morning, an unmanned drone was seen flying above Dykes' property.
Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson told reporters Saturday that Dykes has told them he has blankets and an electric heater in the bunker. Authorities have been conferring in a nearby church.
Olson also said Dykes has allowed police to deliver coloring books, medication and toys for the boy.
"I want to thank him for taking care of our boy," Olson said. "That's very important."
The shooting and abduction took place in Midland City, a small town near Dothan, Ala., in the state's southeastern corner.
Newton is about three miles away, a small hamlet with fewer than 2,000 residents. It sits amid cotton farms and rolling hills sprinkled with red earth; most of the residents commute to Dothan or to a nearby Army post. And many knew Poland.
"He's probably the nicest guy you'll ever meet," said Lonnie Daniels, the 69-year-old owner of the NAPA Auto Parts store, one of three establishments in town that was open Saturday.
Daniels said Poland had been married to his wife for 43 years. Poland was from Idaho, but his wife was from Newton. The couple lived there for decades in a small mobile home, and Poland enjoyed gardening and clearing brush from his property.
"I knew that he was always there if I needed," said Daniels, adding that Poland was an excellent mechanic with an array of tools that he lent to people in town.
Skipper said Poland and his wife would often sit on their porch, drinking coffee, praying and reading the Bible.
"They loved to be together," Skipper said.
On Saturday morning, Poland's wife wasn't home. A rack of worn trucker's caps sat on hooks on the porch, and two freshly baked pies were laid atop a cooler.
The victim's son, Aaron Poland, told NBC News that he wasn't surprised by his father's final act, trying to protect a bus full of kids.
"He considered them his children," Poland said, choking back tears. "And I know that's the reason why my dad took those shots, for his children, just like he would do for me and my sister."
As Newton grieves, residents are praying for the safe return of the boy being held hostage.
"The community is real concerned," said Fred McNab, mayor of Pinckard, Ala. "You can tell by the food that's been carried over there to the church. It's just devastating. We want it to come to a resolution. We want to save that little child."
Police have used the pipe for communication and to deliver the boy medication for his emotional disorders. State Rep. Steve Clouse, who visited the boy's mother, said the boy has Asperger's syndrome — a mild form of autism — and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD.
But police have not revealed how often they are in touch or what the conversations have been about.
Local officials who have spoken to police or the boy's family have described a small room with food, electricity and a TV.
Sheriff Olson would not say Saturday whether Dykes has made any demands. Olson added that he is limited in the details he can release.
Dykes had been scheduled to appear in court Wednesday to answer charges he shot at his neighbors in a dispute last month over a speed bump.
Associated Press reporters Bruce Smith, Melissa Nelson-Gabriel and Tamara Lush authored this report.

I started work on my "Espley One-Name Study" on 29 October.
I don't know if other people keep manuscript notes but it certainly works for me. So I have today finished transcribing the GRO births for 1837-1915 in to a new reference book I started just for this project.
My next step is to tackle the birth records on the IGI.
I have also registered a website domain name for when I am ready to publish the results of my study.
Things still to to do
- join The Guild of One-Name Studies and register the Espley name with them
- more research about computer software options
- prepare a plan for when I finish recording the IGI births
- continuing research on the Espley name – locations, historical facts etc.
I will be doing other family history tasks as well – so the "one-name study" will take a back seat from time to time.
This last week I have also been indexing census and draft records for Family Search. So it seems as though I have spent every spare minute in front of the lap top.
May be time for an IT break – then again may be not!

Here is the record that begins our odyssey. Be sure to read the footnotes, as they contain additional and important information.
This is an abbreviated version, of course, but let's see what an initial read gives us. The first thing we should note is the particulars of the record; we may need these later on to construct a citation.1 Bear with me here; doing this might seem a little boring and tedious, but it's absolutely necessary for a number of reasons, which we will discuss at various times during the entire case study.
Roy and Hattie were enumerated in Rabun County, Georgia, on page 2B in "Pt. of" Clayton Militia District 587.2 From 1880 through 1930 (and presumably beyond), federal censuses were organized by Enumeration Districts (ED) and Supervisor's Districts (SD); the ED and SD within which this family fell were respectively 121-10 and 3. The dwelling was 27 and the family number was 28. No street or road name was written down the left-hand side of the page.
The official census date for 1930 was 1 April; this means that all information gathered on the family by the enumerator was supposed to be as of that date, regardless of what date the enumerator (for this area, it was M. C. Carver) actually entered the data onto his or her worksheet. Enumerators didn't always follow directions well, so it's also important to note the date he or she visited this household (or, at least, recorded information on it), in this case 17 April 1930.
Now, let's look at the actual household data, summarized below:
Roy S. Teague was the head of this household. All relationships stated for members of this household are based on their relationship to him, and not to any other person. This means that the children in the household labeled as sons and daughters were his children, but there's no way to tell from this record whether they were also Hattie's; establishing Hattie as the mother must be done by verifying the information through other records, such as birth and death certificates.
Roy was a white male aged 29 as of the official census date (assuming the enumerator followed directions); that makes his approximate year of birth about 19013. He was first married at the age of 23, just 6 years before. Hattie was a white female aged 24 (born about 1906); she was 18 at the time of her first marriage, also 6 years earlier. It is reasonable to conclude that Roy and Hattie were married to each other 6 years earlier, but that conclusion must be verified against actual documentation. *Here, we should make a note on our to-do list to look for a marriage record.*
All members of the household were born in Georgia, as were their parents.
This family owned their home. It was valued at $300 and was not located on a farm. *Here we would make a note to check Rabun County's land records to see where this home was located, the idea being that Roy probably owned the land the house was built on. We may also wish to check tax records, which could provide important information about this family's socio-economic status.*
In the part of this record that was edited out to make the image readable, one would find that Roy was a mechanic in an auto repair shop (*What auto shops were in business at that time?*), while Hattie had no formal occupation. Neither Roy nor Hattie attended school between 1 September 1929 and the date of the census, but both could read and write. *Here we make a note on our to-do list to check for school records once we verify where Roy and Hattie grew up.*
The three other members of this household were Susie J. Teague, aged 4 5/12 (born about December 1925), Clifford G. Teague, aged 2 10/12 (born about June 1927), and Claud R. Teague, aged 1 3/12 (born about January 1929). All were identified as Roy's children. None had attended school since 1 September 1929, not unusual given the stated ages.
Georgia began requiring the registration of vital records in 1919; all three of these children were born after that date and so, theoretically, all three should have birth certificates on file. Georgia, like many states, rigorously protects official birth records, and so there's very little possibility that we could gain copies. *Instead, we should make a note to check Rabun County's Vital Statistics register, held at the Probate Court in Clayton.* It took a while for all Georgia counties to come into compliance with the above-mentioned regulation (some counties did not begin registering all deaths until the 1950s, for example), but the register should be checked beginning in about 1924 and moving through at least the early 1940s. If Roy and Hattie's children were born within Rabun County, chances are good that at least some of their births were entered into the official record.
The final item to note at the moment about Roy and Hattie's 1930 US census entry is their next door neighbor, Ms[?]. Lina S. Teague.4 Lina was a white female, aged 55 (born about 1875), born in Georgia, and a widow, enumerated with four of her children: Faye C. Teague (born about 1903), Lucy Teague (born about 1916), Louie Teague (born about 1898), and Reba Teague (born about 1911). She was 21 years old upon her first marriage, which would've taken place in about 1896, several years before Roy's birth. *Could Lina have been Roy's mother? We make a note to revisit this record once more is known about Roy.*
We can see by looking at our to do list how one record can lead to several other records. Have we learned everything we can from this entry on the 1930 census? Probably not, and so we should make a mental note to revisit this record later on in our research. In the meantime, we have several leads to follow based on the to-do list we made as we examined this record:
- Find a marriage record for Roy and Hattie. Since they were living in Rabun County so shortly after their presumed marriage in about 1924, we'll try records made in that locality first.
- Look for property transactions, beginning in about the early 1920s when Roy would've come of age.
- Look for tax records. These may be at the tax assessor's office, but we should also check the Georgia Department of Archives and History (they have many tax digests on microfilm, if not the original volumes, from about 1872 through the 1960s) and the Rabun County Historical Society (which may hold the original or personal copies made by the tax collector).
- Search for anything that might lead to the names of auto shops in the Clayton area to see if we can figure out where exactly Roy might have worked.
- Check to see what, if any, school records might be extant and/or available during the 1910s and 1920s. We may have to wait to do this until we have some notion of where Roy and Hattie grew up.
- Check the Vital Statistics register for Rabun County to see if Roy and Hattie had any additional children. While we're looking through those volumes, we should also look for any mention of those children's deaths, or for the deaths of Roy and Hattie.
- Follow up on the possibility that Lina S. Teague was Roy's mother. We should probably wait to do this until we know more about Roy.
While we're looking through these records, we should bear in mind that Roy and Hattie might have moved into Rabun County rather than having grown up, married, and settled there; we should keep an eye out for any evidence pointing to either possibility. What we will not do is jump back any further in time until we know more about these family members as individuals. By more fully researching Roy, Hattie, and their children, we greatly increase our ability to construct a correct lineage.
That's it for Roy and Hattie in 1930. Until next time, happy hunting!

1. Yes, we must place citations on every source we use. There are several reasons for this, but for now the most important one to remember is that you need to know exactly where you found information so that you can revisit a source down the road, if necessary. There are several excellent books about crafting citations out there; the one I recommend to new genealogists is Evidence! Citation and Analysis for the Family Historian by Elizabeth Shown Mills. For more advanced genealogists, I recommend Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace, also by Mills. The latter can be a bit overwhelming for the uninitiated, so start with Evidence! if you're uncomfortable with sourcing your work. See "Recommended Books" for ordering information. The citation for the 1930 US census record we're using is: Roy S. Teague household, 1930 U. S. census, Rabun County, Georgia, population schedule, Clayton Militia District 587, ED 121-10, SD 3, sheet 2B, dwelling 27, family 28; National Archives micropublication T626, roll 381.
2. The militia district system arose out of the old Captain's District system. At one time, men regularly drilled with their communities as part of the local militia. These militiamen were responsible for the defense of the entire community, and they were generally led by a man of their own choosing who was given the title of Captain (hence, Captain's District). It was common to use the militia district as a legal district as well, so that when taxes or censuses were taken, the jurisdiction was canvassed within the separate boundaries of the various militia districts it contained. These divisions are still in place today in Georgia, although I believe they're now called voting districts.
3. There are many genealogists who will calculate the exact range of possible birth dates based on the age given, the instructions made to the enumerator, and the official census date. It's a complicated and confusing process, and should be used only in specific cases, such as when there are two or more people of the same name and of a similar age living in one area, or when there are various conflicting dates given for one person's birth.
4. When transcribing unclear information, a question mark is generally placed in brackets immediately after the questionable word. If desired, one may also underline the questionable or illegible portions so that readers know exactly which portion was hard to read. In this case, the word could be either "Mr." or "Ms." Since the enumerator marked Lina as a female, I decided to go with "Ms." and added the question mark and underline to let readers know that I made a judgment call. The citation for Lina's household is: Lina S. Teague household, 1930 U. S. census, Rabun County, Georgia, population schedule, Clayton Militia District 587, ED 121-10, SD 3, sheet 2B, dwelling 28, family 29; National Archives micropublication T626, roll 381.

George and his brother Alexander have been identified in the 1850 Connecticut census for Enfield and East Windsor.
Things get even more interesting when a reference to an Agness Barclay is found. She is living in 1850 in Enfield in close proximity to George and Alexander. One of George and Alex's sisters is named Sarah Agnes which was determined from Alexander's probate file.
The family begins on line 5, Dwelling 429, family 641. It is headed by an Alpheus Pease, age 65, married and a farmer with $3500 in real estate, born in Connecticut. He is followed by Lois Pease age 61 born in Connecticut. There doesn't seem to be any children listed for this couple unless you look down below and you find on line 18 a Alpheus D. Pease age 35 with a wife and children named Pease. On line 24 we have a Thomas C. Pease age 35 and family which you cannot see from the sample above.
These names follow as best I can interpret them as they come after Lois Pease:
Maranda Stevens age 28, female
Luthara age 3/12 , female
Sarah L. Wilson age 13 female with a B by her name
Starting here is a line with the notation "Town Poor" and listed as "Pauper" from line 11 to line 17.
Line 10 – Betsey Chapin age 75, female
Line 11 – Gennett Earl age 74, female
Line 12 – Amy Mills age 74, female
Line 13 – Stephen Mills age 55, male
line 14 – Agness Barclay age 4, female, born in Connecticut
line 15 – James Lynch age 2 male, born in Scotland
line 16 – Robert Mollis/Hollis age 6 male, born CT
line 17 – Julia Wheeler age 4 female, born CT
As we continue to dig into the census we find several other interesting possibilities for George and Alexander's siblings.
A John Bartley is living with the Olmstead family in Enfield. The spelling is slightly different. I have seen this spelling version of the Barclay surname before in other documents. The family starts on line 9 with an Obadiah Olmstead age 34 male, farmer with $4000 in real estate, born in Connecticut. He is followed by Hannah age 30, [Sauranu] age 7 female and Frederick age 4 male. John is on line 13. This John is 16 years old which means he was born about 1834 and born in Scotland. John is followed by a James Boyle age 28 farmer, born in Ireland. This John Bartley is a strong possibility for the older brother of George and Alex.
The next possible sibling is James Barclay. There is a reference in the 1850 U.S. Federal Census for Litchfield, Litchfield County, Connecticut on Line 29, Dwelling 131, Family 144 a family starting with a Joshua D. Berry age 40, male, Epis Clergyman with $10,000, born NH. He is followed by Jane Berry age 28, F, born Ct., After her is the James Barclay age 12 male, born Ireland that is of interest. The census states he is Irish but that could be an easy error? This boy is born about 1838. He is a possible candidate for another brother of George and Alexander. Litchfield is to the west of the others so this James is suspect.
Mary J. Bartley also appears in the 1850 census in East Windsor closer to Alexander and living with yet another family by the name of Rees. The family starts on line 24 with 179/216 Lydia P. Rees age 62, with $2000 and born in Connecticut. Under her is Lydia F. Rees age 31 and she is followed by Mary J. Barclay on line 26, age 10 and also born in Connecticut. James [McDonahue] age 9 and born in Ireland is last. So this is a strong possibility that it is a sister.
In review we have George, Alexander, Agnes, John, Mary J. and a possible James Barclay all about the right ages to be siblings living in the general vicinity of each other in 1850 in Connecticut. I think it is too compelling to be ignored. Hopefully, I have interpreted other census and Alex's probate file correctly regarding the ages of his siblings. So out of seven (7) siblings we find six (6). We are missing Martha.
We return to the quotation from the Logsleds to Snowmobile book (history of Pine River, Minnesota) makes this statement on pg. 105.
"Sometime before the Civil War his mother died. George and his brother Alexander were placed in different foster homes…"
The Barclay siblings are living with families with surnames of Berry, Pease, Olmstead, Barber, William and Rees. Some of these names are very much a part of the history of Enfield, Connecticut. The chances of them being family members is still a possibility but more likely they are taking in the "town poor" and caring for them.
The website an Historical Overview of the American Poorhouse System talks about the history of the poorhouse and how poor people were dealt with. Other ways to care for the poor could include 1) outdoor relief provided by an Overseer of the Poor and 2) auctioning off the poor and 3) contracting with someone in the community for care of paupers: http://www.poorhousestory.com/history.htm.
From this and a few other articles looking in state records, selectman/overseer's of the poor reports, town and meeting records of a specific town and then local newspapers for auction dates are possibilities for future research.

Police: Boulder High Principal Kevin Braney arrested in domestic violence case
Boulder High School Principal Kevin Braney has been arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, child abuse and criminal mischief following an incident at his home where police say he damaged some property, and he is on paid leave from the school.
Police were called to the Boulder home Braney shares with his wife, Andrea, and their children at about 9:40 p.m. Wednesday on reports of a domestic violence incident, police say.
When officers arrived, Andrea Braney said they are in the process of divorcing. She said that early in the evening she had been rearranging property between rooms, taking her belongings from his room and placing his items on bookshelves in his room, according to a police report.
When Kevin Braney came home from a work function about 9 p.m., his wife said, he was calm until he saw that things had been changed in his room, at which point he entered her room and began throwing things, damaging property and yelling at her, according to the report. She told officers he was acting in an unpredictable manner and she was worried things would become physical.
Police noted that a picture frame and a lamp were found damaged in Andrea Braney's bedroom. The bed frame had also been taken apart, and the mattress and box spring were turned over and were leaning against a wall.
Kevin Braney was arrested at 10:42 p.m. on suspicion of criminal mischief, domestic violence and child abuse for allowing a child to witness the incident, according to the report.
He wrote a voluntary statement following his arrest. He noted that after returning from work he saw his wife had taken her belongings from his room and he then decided to remove his belongings from hers.
He said at no time did he yell at his wife or touch her, though they did have "stern" words about finances.
He told officers prior to his arrest that part of what he was trying to remove from her room was a bed frame headboard, which meant taking apart the bed frame and required some force to accomplish. The bedside lamp may have been damaged in the process, he said.
Andrea and Kevin Braney both told police that he was planning to move out of the residence in the next few weeks.
Kevin Braney has been placed on paid administrative leave from his duties at Boulder High School while he addresses personal and health issues, according to Boulder Valley School District officials. He was hired as the school's principal in July 2009.
Assistant Principal Scott Cawlfield will serve as interim principal, officials say. Parents and other members of the Boulder High School community were informed about the situation in an email from the district Friday.
Attorney Todd Burnham is representing Kevin Braney in his divorce and pending criminal case. He spoke to the Camera on his client's behalf Friday evening.
"This is a man with an impeccable reputation, an Ivy League-educated individual with no criminal history whatsoever," Burnham said of his client, who holds a bachelor's degree from Brown University. "I find it convenient that he is arrested and charged with criminal mischief and domestic violence contemporaneously with divorce papers being filed."
If you have been arrested for Domestic Violence the Law Offices of Daniel R. Perlman can help. Please contact a Los Angeles Domestic Violence Attorney today to have your case reviewed.

Five years ago: In Pakistan, a Supreme Court hand-picked by President Gen. Pervez Musharraf (pur-VEHZ' moo-SHAH'-ruhv) dismissed legal challenges to his continued rule, opening the way for him to serve another five-year term -- solely as a civilian president. The FBI reported hate crime incidents had risen nearly 8 percent in 2006. President George W. Bush announced that Fran Townsend, the leading White House-based terrorism adviser, was stepping down.

What a Meatball!
If you grew up in New England like I did, then you know that the word "meatball" has more than one meaning. It's more common usage refers to the food -- a small, round ball of meat that is cooked and served with tomato sauce. It's less common but more colorful usage refers to someone, usually a big, beefy guy -- also called a "chooch," -- who does something rude or bone-headed. In that situation, you'd say, "What a meatball." Get it? Good.
Now you need to get yourself some ground veal from Strauss Free Raised Veal, a Wisconsin based company committed to raising calves more humanely, to make my Veal Meatballs with Fennel, Mushroom, and Shallot Tomato Sauce.
Now, it's time for a meatball.
Italian Style Veal Hot Dogs with Onions, Peppers, and Mushrooms.
Veal Meatballs with Fennel, Mushroom, and Shallot Tomato Sauce
Serves 4
Printable recipe.
1 pound ground veal
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large shallot, thinly sliced (about 3/4 cup)
1 small fennel bulb, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 cup sliced white button or cremini mushrooms
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 (32 ounce) can crushed tomatoes with juices, preferably San Marzano tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
4 (6-inch) torpedo rolls
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and crushed red pepper flakes for garnish
1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients. Using your hands, mix until the consistency is moist and the meat holds together well. If it's too dry, add a little bit of water, or another egg. If it's too moist, add some more bread crumbs. Using your hands, roll meat into 1 1/2-inch balls. It should yield 14-16 meatballs.
3. Place meatballs on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add shallots and saute 2 minutes until just wilted. Add fennel and saute 3-5 minutes until just softened. Add mushrooms and saute 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add white wine and let cook for 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, red pepper flakes and salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-7 minutes. Add cooked meatballs to the sauce and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until heated through. Turn off heat, and stir in basil.
5. Place torpedo rolls under the broiler until lightly toasted. Place 3-4 meatballs per roll, and top with a couple of spoonfuls of sauce. Garnish with grated cheese and a sprinkling of crushed red pepper flakes. Serve hot.

Having known many "meatballs" in my years growing up in Fox Point, I would like to make the meatballs, the sauce sounds wonderful! Have never had anything made with ground veal.

I'd like to try your meatball recipe. I generally use beef, pork and veal for my meatballs.Nice give-away!
BTW - I grew up about 80 miles north of NYC and my dad (who comes from NYC) used the term "chooch" regularly, meatball as well!

I love veal but always feel kind of guilty about eating it. And now...I don't have to! These meatballs look great...I'll definitely be checking out this company!

Despite the amount of food I have eaten in the past two days, that meatball sandwich is making my stomach growl!

I don't think I've ever made a meatball in my life, so that's what I'd go for--a tribute to foodblogga! Sounds yummy, too.

at the risk of sounding like a starving child, your meatball pic looks phenomenal and just made me hungry again. needless to say, that is what I would want to try making...unless hubby has a different idea in mind of course...

I LOVE veal! I think I would try and make an Indian dish with it. i usually make veal saltimbocca

I love veal. I too love to make homemade meatballs with veal as one of my main meat ingredients.
Nice giveaway!

I've boycotted veal for so long it's hard to say what I'd make with it! I'm thinking perhaps a veal tourtiere as a nod to our neighbors to the North.

Hubby and I are both huge veal fans... I would make veal milanese and your meatballs! Coming from Philly I've known a lot of meatballs in my life. :-)

We had my grandmother's meatballs last night! Not a veal-eater but impressed by your reference/source of veal. Thanks.
- December 27, 2010 at 1:35 PM
That's easy. I'd make your meatballs! Fennel and mushroom tomato sauce sounds delicious! Thanks for the awesome give-away.

Veal meatballs sound like a little piece of heaven right now :) :) Of course, I totally know a lot of human meatballs in my life too!!

glad you like a WI product! I would love to make the meatballs and put them with some pasta instead of a sandwich. I hope I win!

As a vegetarian who often cooks for her with a omnivorous partner, I'm happy to hear about this ethically produced veal

mmm veal. I think I would make my usual bolognaise, but sub veal for the ground pork shoulder.

Haven't had veal in years...would love to try this veal especially since the calves are raised this way. Couldn't bring myself to eat the other ones...thought maybe if no one bought it they would change their ways. Maybe it is working.

Oh, I do love me a delicious drippy meatball sandwich. Yes, I realize that the term sandwich clearly advertises that I've always been a west coast girl, but that's alright by me. ;-)

I do love meatballs (the ball of ground beef type, not the beefy guy type)! I wish that we had a good source of veal in these parts though!

Oh MY, that looks good! And nice to see humanely, ethically raised veal - I love eating it but haven't done so for ages because of ethical concerns. Hope you had a fab Christmas and hope you have a splendin 2011!

Veal is so hard to find but I would much rather use it than beef. Your meatballs sound wonderful.
