it was two years ago and in
California that Roger Conley
came home from his job at high
noon and asked of his wife, as he
indicated an encircled spot on a
Washington State map:
"How'd you like to live
there?"
Two weeks later Vicki
Conley, her husband and her
children were on their way to
Shelton. Roger Conley is manager
of the D. H. Knudsen Pole
Company on John's Prairie.
Mrs. Conley was born in
Berkeley, California and reared in
Fresno in the same state. There
she was graduated from high
school and attended Fresno State
College. During her college years
she was employed as an
accountant by a judge, for whom
she managed an estate.
"I worked my way through
school," she states. "At the age of
23 I left college for a good job in
the San Francisco Bay area. I felt
liberated and I loved it.
"I married Roger a year
later," she continues. "I quit my
job and began the occupation of
wife and homemaker. Not until
then was 1 truly free. 1 feel
completely at liberty within the
structure of marriage."
The Conleys have three
children. Leeana and Margie are
five-and-a-half and four years old
respectively. Young Wiley is ten
months of age.
Vicki Lee Conley has a dream.
She wishes to further her
education and to study law. It is
her goal to become a judge before
her forty-second birthday.
"I'm a dreamer," she laughs,
"but I might as well set a high
goal. If I achieve it, all else will
fall into place,"
Writing is her first love. She
studied journalism in both high
school and college, and she writes
poems. She enjoys outdoor
gardening as well as the growing
of house-plants. Two seal-point
Siamese cats are very much a part
of her family.
Mrs. Conley is an active
Mormon, teaching three-year-olds
in the primary organization of her
church. She is a member of
Shel-Toa Orthopedic Guild.
"Happiness is living in
Shelton," she asserts. "We love it
here."
Vicki Conley is concerned
about chemicals in the daily diet.
She is interested in the healthful
care of the body and believes in
natural foods free of
preservatives.
She feels that prepared mixes
and "meals in a box" are luxuries
to be enjoyed at the cost of good
health.
"Starting from scratch in
cooking." she declares, "is more
healthful and certainly more
economical.
"Buy clean grains," she urges,
"and with the aid of a blender,
grind cereal fresh each day.
Instead of boxed rice mixtures,
try my Rice Pilaf.

"This is an Armenian dish,"
she adds, "and it was very popular
in the California area where we
formerly lived."
She browns in oil one coil of
vermicelli and places it in a
casserole with one cup of long
grain rice, two cups of either
chicken or beef broth, a quarter
to a half cup of butter or
margarine and salt and pepper to
taste. The casserole should be
covered and placed in a medium
hot oven for approximately 45
minutes.
"It's quick and easy, good,
and good for you," she promises.
Here is Vicki Conley's recipe
for white bread made with honey:
White Bread
To a half-cup of very warm water
add 2 Tbsp. dry yeast and 1 tsp.
sugar. Set aside while mixing:
4 C. potato water, rice water
or mixture of both
2 eggs
½ to ¾ C. evaporated milk
½ C. mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. salt
½ C. honey
When yeast is dissolved and
mixture is bubbly, add to water
plness
and egg mixture. Sift and mix in 8
C. flour. (Sifting is essential). Sift
in another 4 C. flour. Mixture
should follow the spoon as it is
mixed. Allow to rest for two or
more minutes. Then mix again.
Next add an additional 2 C. flour
and mix well. Turn out on floured
cloth and over dough sift
necessary portion of 2 C. flour.
Knead for 10 to 15 minutes. The
dough should not be sticky.
Allow to rise until doubled.
Punch down and allow to rise
once more until doubled. Cut into
five parts. Roll four portions into
loaves and place in greased glass
or aluminum pans. Let rise until
dough is just rounding edge of
containers. Bake in 350-degree
oven for 20 minutes. Decrease
temperature to 325 degrees and
bake for an additional 20
minutes. The bread is done when
it sounds hollow when tapped.
Remaining dough should be rolled
flat and cut with a jar ring or
cutter of equal size into buns.
Allow them to rise and bake at
350 degrees for no more than 30
minutes, or until barely browned.
Bread should be cooled out of
pans, after which it may be
wrapped and frozen.
