Stir in poultry seasoning, brandy, bamboo shoots. Cook wild rice mix according to package directions until tender. Stir ½ of the rice into liver mixture. Use mixture to stuff game hens. Sew or skewer opening. Place hens side by side in a foil lined baking pan. Sprinkle with chopped onions and brush with melted butter.

A couple of unprincipled outsiders have bought an old farm
at the edge of the Mennonite community of Hernia,
Pennsylvania. They say they want to grow fruit, but their
real plan is to start a vineyard and open a winery. This
scheme is a serious affront to the teetotalling Mennonites,
so everyone's a suspect when the manager of the vineyard is
found entombed in cement. A new and inexperienced police
chief can't solve the crime alone, and soon Magdalena Yoder
finds herself on the case—risking her neck with her
ear to the grapevine.
