Choosing your Halloween candy: do’s and don’ts
You know from time to time I get to use this column to perform a
Burrito Barney
It’s not what we feed the baby barn owl, it’s how. Volunteers at the Wildlife Education and Rehabilitation Center wrap the squirming, screaming little raptor in a towel “burrito-style”. This method keeps them safe from its sharp talons and allows one person to maintain control while feeding it pieces of rodents with forceps. It can sometimes be a messy process, and after feeding time is over, baby needs its face and beak washed up.
Handheld salad wrap is ideal for winery picnic
This is a very busy time of year for wineries of the South Valley. Grapes are being harvested to be crushed. Many local wineries invite visitors to see the crush process in action. So, consider this an opportune time to pay them a visit, do some winetasting and of course, pack a nice picnic lunch. This week, I feature an item for your picnic lunch served in what I feel is a revolutionary method.
Family, wine and holidays are a great combination
The new year has officially begun but warm memories linger as I think about the wonderful holiday just spent with loved ones. As is common to most families, my family relationships can be messy at times, but in the end, I realize how tremendously blessed I am to have them.
