Subscriber Nancy Jackson found this description of Boomer memories floating around on the Internet and it’s worth sharing. Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan, or the dawn of Camelot. There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me. For Ike was in the White House in that land where we were born, Where navels were for … [Read more...]
Ravenna’s In Dallas
Nancy and I just returned from the lighting show at the Dallas Trade Mart where we saw some amazing lighting styles now coming on the market. During our annual visit to the Big D each January, we try to take in some of their great restaurants. Each trip, we go to Pappadeaux’s and eat raw oysters, fried shrimp and fresh seafood. It’s one of our favorite restaurants anywhere. This year, we … [Read more...]
Gobble Up These Turkey Patties
Ground turkey is an exceptionally healthy meat, and quite economical. A 4-ounce patty has less that 170 calories and a 20-ounce package of ground turkey is less than $5. But we hardly ever have turkey patties. They are not exciting entrees, to say the least. However! By accident, I have discovered a way to make turkey patties that are fit for kings. A few weeks back, I bought a … [Read more...]
Playing Possum
I had an interesting visitor to my backyard early this morning – a possum. I’m sure he is a frequent visitor, but only after dark. It’s rare to see a possum in the daytime, unless it’s in the form of a flattened carcass on the side of the road. Possums are not very good road-crossers. This was a big possum, nice and fat, and would probably have made a nice roast, if you’re into possum meat. … [Read more...]
Two Species of Cobia?
Last week, CvilleBuzz printed a release from the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council on Cobia Management. The release indicated that there are two stocks of cobia and that the cobia in federal waters off the east coast of Florida are considered part of the Gulf of Mexico migratory stock. Capt. Reese Stecher of Beach Bum Fishing at Nags Head staunchly disagrees. Says Reese: … [Read more...]
Yummy Sausage Rolls
By James Friend Dickerson In 1999 we traveled through Scotland, touring the country and visiting Masonic Lodges. After many Lodge meetings, we enjoyed the time of Harmony (food, drink, music, and spirited conversation). Among my favorite food items during Harmony were the sausage rolls. When Jen Christenson made her sausage rolls using an Australian recipe, they were just like the … [Read more...]
Lightovation Market in Dallas
By Nancy Brewer Returning from the Lightovation Market in Dallas last week, we found many new products to enhance anyone’s pallet. While the orbs are still hot, clear glass and clear seeded glass are tipping the scales. Chandeliers, bath fixtures, pendants, fan light kits and exterior fixtures are all becoming statement pieces. New materials for exterior fixtures abound assuring … [Read more...]
Deep Creatures
By Dr. Ken Neill We got out yesterday and did some bottom fishing. As expected, the spiny dogfish were bad, especially on the south side of the canyon while trying for golden tilefish. On the north wall of the canyon, we caught a lot of smooth dogfish…like the canyon was a dividing line. We also caught a dogfish that seemed almost a cross between the two. More body type and spots like … [Read more...]
Lake Anna News
Numerous bass in the 6 and 7 pound class are coming to the scales at Anna Point Marina. Some nice crappie, too. Last month, Tommy Lambert weighed in a slab-size crappie at 2 pounds, 2 ounces. The crappie are deep, 12 to 18 feet, but if you can get a shiner down to them, they’ll bite. Stripers are busting shad from the Rt. 1 Bridge to the Splits. Tommy Lambert 2 Pounds 2 … [Read more...]
Basketball – A Different Game
They call it basketball. It’s on TV all the time, but it isn’t the same basketball Boomers recall. There was once a time, you see, when basketball was a civil sport. If there was the slightest contact, somebody got called for a foul. Not anymore. Today, they grab each other, push each other, bite each other, take a flying leap and land on one another and it’s “incidental contact.” On numerous … [Read more...]
