Bonefish Fish & Chips
Sunday night dinner? Whip up something in the kitchen or go out for a quick bite? We had had a busy weekend, so Nancy and I decided to let someone else do the cooking, and since we had a coupon from Bonefish Grill for a complimentary entrée for one guest, we headed in that direction. Naturally, we pulled up two stools at the bar where we have found the best possible service. You don’t have to … [Read more...]
A Return To Bamboo
I caught my first fish on a cane pole. It was a 10-foot stalk of ordinary bamboo that had been aged on the side of a tobacco barn. At the tip of the rod, my great aunt, Sister Wall, had attached about 15 feet of ten-pound test, a cork bobber, two split shot and a size 6, long shanked hook. This simple piece of equipment was a fishing machine. The reason? For children, especially, it’s much … [Read more...]
Spot On
Hurricane Florence Surely has stirred up our local salt waters, but now that things have settled down – it’s spot time. A local favorite, the Norfolk spot are located throughout the bay and its tributaries now. Yellowbellies are beginning to show in the lower parts of the rivers, and are moving to ocean side locations. By late September, these hefty spot become very numerous as they pack into … [Read more...]
Tramp the Parakeet
The first summer after we moved to Lewisburg, my family took an extended vacation to North Carolina to visit relatives. We went to Winston Salem and Wilson and Raleigh and spent the last week staying with my Aunt Ann at her cottage at Morehead City, across the sound from Atlantic Beach. Every day, we packed up the car and went to the beach and I have great memories of splashing in the surf, … [Read more...]

Growing Okra Trees
I don’t have okra plants. I have okra trees. Several are over 8 feet tall. I have to pull them over and stand on tiptoes to snip off any ripe pods. But I’m not complaining. I have had a bumper crop of okra this summer, and they are still producing! Okra and peppers, I have discovered, are two vegetables that don’t like cool weather. The later you can wait to plant the okra, the better they do. … [Read more...]
Sweet Pea Salad
When planning menus, I usually don’t have a problem with meats or the main course; it’s the sides that I struggle with. I get tired of tossed salads all the time, though they are good for you. Recently I tried a green pea salad and it tuned out well – a nice change of pace. There are many recipes for sweet pea salads, but I went for the quickest and easiest in preparation. I started with two … [Read more...]
Hey! Back Me Up, Here!
Sportsmen face many obstacles in their outdoor careers. Driving a Jeep down a muddy, rut-filled logging road deep in a grouse covert comes to mind. But that’s not the most difficult challenge. Stepping squarely on a hornet’s nest while creeping in on a spring gobbler is no walk in the park, but worse can happen. An outdoors type might even find himself or herself between a mother bear and her cubs … [Read more...]
End Zone Vegetarian Pizza
Pizza toppings? For me, it’s bacon, sausage, steak, pepperoni, ham and any other topping suitable for one of the world’s greatest carnivores. Sometimes I’ll sneak a few mushrooms on if no one is paying attention, but I like meat on my pizzas. Yet….. A few nights ago we had company and I decided on an easy meal of pizzas and wings. “What do you like on your pizza?” was my question, … [Read more...]
