Winging It
Bathroom scales don’t lie.

Our Beautiful Barriers
Ed. Note: I began writing professionally in 1975, so I have a lot of articles on file. Since news about the outdoors will be a little skimpy for the next two months – while Mother Nature takes her sweet time warming things up – I thought I’d pull a few pieces from the archives – or “the morgue” as they say in the newspaper business.

Chicken Thigh Burritos
I cook for kids on occasion. Sometimes they are picky and sometimes they are not. One of the times they are not picky at all is when I fix a batch of burritos. Nothing fancy, just burritos. Recently, for a change of pace, rather than beef burritos with ground meat, I made some chicken burritos. I used chicken thighs and they were delicious.
