The pork tenderloin is the most tender of all cuts. It is the filet mignon of pork. Yet, it is one of the most value-priced cuts of meat there is. There is absolutely no waste, it’s lean and nutritious and it’s very inexpensive, about $5 a pound. But I rarely buy it. For some reason, I have been unable to cook and serve pork tenderloin that I considered a knockout dish. I have tried all sorts … [Read more...]

Ice Fishing
One day, a rather inebriated ice fisherman drilled a hole in the ice. He peered into the hole and a loud voice said, "There are no fish down there." He walked several yards away and drilled another hole and peered into the hole and again the voice said, "There are no fish down there." He then walked about 50 yards away and drilled another hole and again the voice said, "There are no fish … [Read more...]

There was nothing to report on the Virginia front, but from the Outer Banks someone actually went fishing and caught something Red Drum & Tackle in Buxton reports that an angler fishing at The Point caught keeper drum with every cast while using shrimp for bait and a 6-ounce sinker.

Boomers and Flexible Flyers
It snowed last week. It really snowed. Some places had two feet. We had about 18 inches in our area, enough of the white stuff to kindle a warm flicker of Boomer memories of snow blanketed hills, red noses, hot chocolate and Flexible Flyers. We lived on a steep street, Jennings Street, in Beckley, WV. Some would consider that a disadvantage. My boyhood friend, Freddy Arnold, and I thought it … [Read more...]

For New Years Eve, my wife Karen and I shared kitchen duties. We feasted on Angus steak … [Read more...]
