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. Chicken thighs, skin-on, bone in, are among the best … [Read more...]

Deer Season in Review
It’s way early to get a final tally for Virginia’s deer season, but if the results from a local hunt club are any indication, the kill may be off statewide. Results show that for at least one hunt club, the total number of deer killed is down. While some nice animals were harvested, like this handsome buck taken by Robert Runnet (left) on the last day if the season, Sherman Shifflett of Louisa … [Read more...]
What Have You Got to Lose Chicken Salad
In “A Losing Proposition” a new category introduced to CvilleBuzz readers last week, we will be exploring dishes that are both appetizing and healthy, healthy in that it will help us shed a few pounds. A diet is only be a temporary bandage on a more serious wound if it doesn’t taste good and isn’t satisfying. In my experience, a critical part of losing weight comes at lunch. I know lots of … [Read more...]
A Critter Feast
With last week’s snow covering the ground, I made sure my birds and backyard friends had plenty of seeds and fresh water. Hundreds of birds and squirrels came to the heated birdbath for a much-needed drink of water and they devoured the seeds I had strewn. While watching one snowy morning, I noted that the squirrels were busy with the sunflower seeds, but there was not a bird in sight. In a tall … [Read more...]
Continue Bagging
In an effort to save money and frustrate customers, Boomers have noticed that most grocery stores have installed do-it-yourself checkout stations where people who have always wanted to bag their own groceries can have at it. No longer will a loaf of bread be placed beneath two 48 ounce jars of pasta sauce nor a carton of eggs be lumped in with several liters of roly-poly bottles of Seven Up. For … [Read more...]
Resolve To Fish More
By Capt. Steve Chaconas There is good winter fishing in key areas on the Potomac River, but use lighter line and downsized lures. The water is between 38-45, depending where you’re fishing. Outgoing tides are often warmer. Fish during the warmest part of the day. Dress in layers, wear a PFD, and fish with a buddy. The best spots are out of the current in areas with steep drops like … [Read more...]
News From Nags Head
By Capt. Reese Stecher There has not been much in the way of striper fishing in the sound for the past couple weeks. I did take two clients out for a couple of hours on New Year's Day afternoon. We hit a wreck for Tautog. The boys weeded through a couple of throwbacks and landed four fish for dinner. Henry did something that I haven't seen in 20 years of charter fishing. He landed a … [Read more...]
Jay Birds
Some of the most entertaining birds in our back yard are the blue jays. Jays often get bad press because they sometimes destroy nests of other birds. They are very opportunistic and will kill baby birds and eat other bird eggs if given the chance. But they are one of the smartest birds on the planet and I enjoy sharing my back yard with a small, resident flock. Recently, I was in the backyard … [Read more...]
