Viewer submitted recipe: Seafood Stroganoff

From our KLTV cookbook called "Proud of East Texas," (what else?) comes a recipe for a quick seafood dinner.

The recipe was submitted in the 1998 by Diana Conine of Tyler. It sounds pretty simple, delicious, and quick:

Seafood Stroganoff:

1 pound shrimp, crawfish tails, or scallops (or a combination)
1 bunch of green onions, sliced (tops included)
1 stick of butter (ed. note: or a healthy Omega-3 butter blend, like Smart Balance)
4 TBS flour
2 TBS garlic powder (or to taste)
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced (ed. note: you can buy these pre-sliced to save time)
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp creole seasoning (any brand you like)
1/2 cup vermouth (optional, but definitely adds better flavor) (ed. note: white wine could be substituted if no vermouth on hand)
1 16 oz. carton of sour cream. (ed. note: light sour cream will cut fat and calories and still be creamy and delicious!)

Peel and devein shrimp, if necessary.

Tips for handling debt collectors

Tips for handling debt collectors

Released by the Better Business Bureau of Central East Texas:

Consumers who owe money or are behind on their bills may be legitimately contacted by debt collectors to pay off debts.  In a recent release of the top complaints reported to BBB, collection agencies ranked 5th in number of complaints received.  With more than 15,000 complaints, consumers need to be aware of the best practices for when it comes to handling debt collectors.

“Be wary of the red flags for fraudulent debt collectors”, said Mechele Agbayani Mills, President and CEO of BBB Serving Central East Texas. “Refusing to reveal the name of their agency or demands that the payments be made in cash or money transfer only, could mean that a phony debt collector is making an attempt at identity theft”.

It’s important for consumers to verify the alleged debt before taking action.

Dear WHS Family,

At our recent Volunteer Appreciation Celebration, I said that I need to at least partly step down from the leadership of WHS,, partly because of my husband's health and partly because of my own health. But in order to do that, we must have another leader who is committed enough and free enough to be able to serve when needed and to help us along the way. Polly is wonderful, but it is too much to ask her to do it all by herself. I am sure that none of you realize how much time, planning, gas, community involvement, and working around family, friends and social activities leadership in WHS takes.

This weekend I am unable to help with any of these welcomes, and Polly will do it all. I have done the same by myself, but it is really difficult and stressful to do it alone, and it is unfair to ask Polly to do it all.

ETX native, automotive legend Carroll Shelby dies at 89

DALLAS, TX (AP/KLTV) - Carroll Shelby, famous for designing the Shelby Cobra and the Shelby Mustang, passed away Thursday. He was from Leesburg, Texas, which is west of Pittsburg. His racing career quickly gave way to building cars like the RC Cobra.

The one-time chicken farmer had more than a half-dozen successful careers during his long life including car manufacturer and African safari tour operator.
    
Shelby first gained fame in the automotive world by winning France's grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car race with a teammate in 1959.
    
He then combined a Ford V-8 engine with a British sport car chassis to make the Cobra, which debuted in 1962.
    
Shelby also later worked on Chrysler's high-powered Viper sports car.
