Book Bank to sponsor local receipes

November 24, 2009 Miami,Az, The Book Bank No Comments

The Book Bank in Miami has launched a new project involving a compilation of recipes unique to the Globe, Miami area. And proceeds will go to support Bullion Plaza Cultural Center. Marlene Tiede, who owns the Book Bank explains the project,

“Sharing recipes is a wonderful tradition. Combining history and photos with favorite family recipes is even better! We plan to publish a cookbook featuring some of the favorite recipes, stories and photos of early Globe-Miami residents.” She is asking anyone who falls into that group to share a few recipes that your family has traditionally prepared and served for special family, holiday and/or neighborhood events over the years.

Along with your recipe(s), please include a paragraph or two that briefly describes your connection to the Globe-Miami area, a time or place when your recipe might have been prepared, and why that dish is special to you.

Muleskinners Kidnap Mayor Shipley

Muleskinners Kidnap Mayor Shipley

This last weekend was the Grand Opening of Season 2 for the Copper Spike Excursion Railroad and Main Street Director, Kip Culver invited the Mohave Muleskinners to kick off the season in style. The Muleskinners, who were here last year for Home Tour, are a big hit in Globe. Their members dress in period clothing from the 1800’s and carry  authentic reproduction firearms. They use real gun power and crowds love talking to members, getting photo ops with the various characters and watching the Old West skits.Mohave Muleskinners & Copper Bells

The one shown below involved the kidnapping of Mayor Fernando Shipley. The local contingent of the Copper Bells arrived on the scene shouting “Save our Mayor” and offered to exchange a muleskinner – toting an iron ball for the safety of the Mayor. The exchange was made, but just when the “bad” guys thought they were getting away – the women Muleskinners arrived with loaded shotguns (with gun powder of course!) and stopped them in their tracks.Donna Anderson & Jeff Capps
