Reader Recipe Request: Chicken Enchiladas To some chicken enchiladas are a dime a dozen and I would have to agree. I have tried chicken enchiladas from every Mexican restaurant within a 50 mile radius and I would come to the same conclusion: I’ll make my own. The following recipe is derived from an idea that was given to my wife in 1975 from a Mexican girl in the desert in southern California. The problem with most chicken enchilada recipes is that the chicken is first boiled and then immediately shredded. This leaves the chicken dry and b...

NICE ONE--I hope you were able to get out and about this past weekend as it certainly was a nice one, at least here. Some folks said they got rained on, but for a change, we were pretty dry out our way, albeit a little chilly in the early hours. With rain due our way, I hope you got some of those lawn and garden chores done while it was nice, as it's that time of year when things will be growing like mad, and hopefully that means more flowers and garden items and not just weeds! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from April 4-10 are Tim...
Some Things Change and Some Things Remain the Same Every generation is uniquely different than the previous one yet some things are still passed on. The newspaper is and has been traditionally the source for news and information. We have increased our ability to communicate on a global scale unprecedented in history. The internet as well as cell phones have closed the gap in the communication field; however, sometimes even with all this technology, information is not passed on as far as one might think. With all this technology there sometimes...

Opportunity can often be hidden deep inside of an obstacle. Sometimes, life pitches the proverbial curveball, catching you off guard. When that happens, in order to digest the obstacle, to find the juicy prospect, a simple perspective adjustment can be the saving grace. Use your mind as a tool for digging into an obstacle, rather than letting it hold you down in despair. Nothing is impossible, change is inevitable and you have the power to bend a setback into a future gift for yourself. The community center is excited for a new club starting...

GRAY SKIES--As this work week began, our morning skies were a bit on the gloomy and gray side but at least it was just a little damp, that is until later on in the day and then it rained pretty good. It's one of those things we hate to see, but right now we really need it so I won't complain. As I'm writing this, forecasters are saying we're in for a bit of rain off and on, and given the amount of fires taking off in our county and neighboring counties recently, having some rainfall right now wouldn't hurt anybody's feelings I don't think. It's...

Reader’s Request I am grateful and I give thanks to you the readers who have approached me with your favorable comments and suggestions. While at the Rosburg Store recently I was asked by a Wahkiakum County Eagle reader if I would post some local recipes. I gave it much thought and decided to give you one of my own in a unique way in which I am sure you will want to try it for yourselves. It is as common as coffee in these parts just as jambalaya is common in Louisiana with no two recipes being the same. I am referring to the common clam c...
