The Laurel magazine contacted me about this article below! Maybe if there isn't much to discuss in the way of grass, we can start sharing recipes! Look for this in August 2016 Laurel Edition. Don't believe everything you read...I am plotting to dominate the world.
Recipe Brian Stiehler June 2016
Despite rumors to the contrary, Brian Stiehler
is not plotting world domination. He is, however, a very motivated community
member who wants the best for his town. He is currently a member of the Board
of Commissioners for Highlands and is a past graduate of Leadership Highlands.
He has been active in the Highlands Chamber of Commerce, the Literacy Council
of Highlands and Macon County Economic Development Commission, as well as other
local civic organizations.
As Golf Course Superintendent at the
prestigious Highlands Country Club and member of many professional
associations, Stiehler has his hands full but loves every second of it. He’s
not one to sit still, but no matter how busy he gets, there’s always time to
play golf with his wife Hilary and 11-year-old daughter Anna, a rising star in
the golf world.
The following recipe is thanks to one of
Stiehler’s roommates at Penn State, Mike, who came from a large Italian family.
Every Sunday Mike would fix this sauce and the entire apartment would smell
like home. Mike would never share the recipe, but at graduation presented it to
Brian and it’s become a staple in his house. He is quick to admit he doesn’t do
a lot of cooking at home, but has been known to whip up this pasta sauce for
family and friends. As a matter of fact, Stiehler says, “Hilary and I make it
one to two times a month and have for the last 16 years. It's my favorite meal.
Paired with homemade bread and a good red wine, it doesn't get any
better.”
