Seeking truth about immigration controversy

The current presidential campaign has provoked fear, distortions, outrage and scary stories; a case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court seeks to resolve how much control states can have over non-citizens living within their borders.

Well-seasoned cuisine: Asparagus stalks add a little spring green to dishes

Spring is the perfect time to buy asparagus and it always seems to be better when it is fresh from a farmers market. In recent weeks, the Downtown Hollister Farmers market has had plenty of bundles of asparagus from which to choose. Though it taste the same, I like to mix it up between thicker stalks and thinner stalks depending on the type of dish I am cooking. For the Asparagus and parmesan cheese tart, I recommend thinner stalks since the method of sautéing the asparagus and then baking it will allow the stalks to cook more quickly. The small stalk also makes it easier to bite through.

There is something so fine about Memorial Day

I was a lucky kid; I grew up in “Small Town America” during the 1950s. And although my Colorado hometown wasn’t “small” by most standards (roughly 100,000 people), it felt that way because we were encapsulated within our close-knit neighborhoods.

The truth about cat eyes

Q: We recently adopted a white kitty-cat from our neighbor’s back yard. She’s about 4 years old and she has two different colored eyes (her left eye is blue and the right one is green). How often do cats have different eyes? Is this rare? Do they have any problems with their vision?

Getting Out: Taking a closer look at the Vasco Caves

Through the Livermore Valley and over Altamont Pass, Interstate Highway 580 is one of the main corridors out of the San Francisco Bay Area. As I pass through a landscape, I often feel it calling to me to look closer, but not when I travel through the bare hills near Altamont Pass. The myriad windmills and the absence of a plant taller than your knee make for a bleak scene. There is little to tempt the wandering soul.
