Title TAPS - The Bugle Call
Details "TAPS" is the most beautiful bugle call. Played slowly and softly, it has a smooth, tender, and touching character. It rolls down the curtains on the day or upon life whenever it is played or sung. The origin of the bugle call TAPS in its present form is generally attributed to Major General Daniel Butterfield who commanded a brigade in the Army of the Potomac during the Peninsular Campaign of 1862. After a particularly hard fighting day as the weary troops settled down for the night along the James River near Richmond Virginia, the bugler sounded "Extinguish Lights" or what is more commonly called "Lights Out". On this night Butterfield felt that this bugle call was not as smooth, melodious, and musical as it should be. He felt that the day's final call should bring comfort and peace to tired troubled men. With the help of his bugler, Oliver W. Norton, Butterfield composed the music to what we know today as TAPS.

Later in the Peninsular Campaign a funeral was being held during a lull in the fighting. The bugler was ordered to play TAPS in place of the three volleys usually used to render the final honors to a deceased comrade. This was done because it was feared that rifle fire might cause the enemy to renew their attack. The playing of TAPS was eventually written into Army regulations as a part of the honors to be paid at a military funeral.

While their are no official words to the bugle call itself, the commonly used lyrics are derived from the following verses:

Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar drawing nigh -- Falls the night

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Then good night, peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright;
God is near, do not fear -- Friend, good night.

Recipe Name SPL's Choice Biscuits
Submitted By Jay Langely
Category Dutch Oven
Ingredients 2 1/2 cups Bisquick
¼ + or - pound Cheese
Butter
Milk

Ziploc bag
Dutch oven
Or
Cardboard box oven
pan or cookie sheet that will fit oven
 

Directions I lightly grease a cookie sheet (some don't) or pan and set aside. Mix Bisquick, herbs and cheese in a one gallon zip lock bag. Mix in some butter (I guess how much). Mixture should be somewhat crumbly. Add enough milk and knead until dough just holds together, you may add more milk if necessary in small amounts. For cardboard box ovens - Drop spoonfuls on the cookie sheet an inch apart. For Dutch oven take a portion of doe in your (clean) hand shape and and oil the outside of each biscuit. This will allow them to be placed side by side on the cookie sheet or pan even touching.

Cardboard oven -
Go to about 350-450 degrees for about 15-20 minutes

Dutch oven -

I'm always in a hurry, so I start with 8 charcoals on the bottom and 12 or so on top. When the biscuits have raised and begin to look like biscuits, reduce the heat on the bottom by two charcoals and cook until the sides begin to pull away from the side of the pan or oven. You will see, as they pull away, that they are also beginning to brown around the edges. When this happens, remove the bottom heat and continue to cook on top until they are as brown and crusty on top as you like them to be. The biscuits usually will take about 30 minutes.

Recipe Name Alice Springs Chicken
Submitted By Barry Griffin
Category Entree
Ingredients 1/2 cup Creamy Dijon Mustard
1/2 cup honey
1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
4 Boneless chicken breast (Skinned)
1 can sliced mushrooms
3/4 teaspoon salt
6 slices peppered bacon
1 cup Monterey jack cheese
1 cup Reduced fat cheddar cheese
2 teaspoons parsley flakes
 
Directions Thoroughly combine mustard, honey, oil and lemon juice in small bowl. Place the chicken breasts on a plate and sprinkle both sides lightly with the seasoned salt. Pour about 1/3 of marinade over the chicken breasts and marinate (covered) in the refrigerator, for about 2 hours, turning once or twice. Chill remaining marinade until later.
Preheat oven to 375°. Fry bacon until crisp, drain, crumble and set aside. Discard all but a small amount of bacon drippings and sauté mushrooms for a few minutes. Remove mushrooms and set aside.
Re-heat the remaining drippings left in the skillet using medium heat. (If necessary, add 1 teaspoon oil.) Sear the chicken in pan for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove and place in a casserole dish, which has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Brush each seared chicken breast with a little of the reserved honey mustard marinade (not the portion the chicken marinated in), being sure to save at least one-half to serve as a side. Cover the breasts with the cooked bacon. Spoon the sautéed mushrooms on the bacon, being sure to coat each breast evenly. Combine the two cheeses and spread evenly over the chicken. Bake 10 minutes or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and starting to bubble. Sprinkle each chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoon parsley before serving. Place extra marinade in small bowl to serve as a dipping sauce. Note: if not using peppered bacon, add some pepper, to taste, before covering with the bacon.
