There is absolutely nothing wrong with a simple, classic pumpkin pie. In my opinion, the key to a great pie is freshness. Whether one likes the simple, basic version, or is adventuresome in trying new ideas, the key is to make the pie as close to serving it as possible for maximum taste enjoyment. For those who like to mix things up a bit, here are a couple of recipes that take pumpkin pie to the "pizzaz" level. Enjoy! Walnut Streusel Pumpkin Pie Classic pumpkin pie gets a...
FALLBROOK – Statistics indicate the average Thanksgiving dinner exceeds 3,000 calories. That is more calories than a person should eat in an entire day, much less a single meal. Many people admit to indulging on bigger portions and more fattening foods come the holiday season, but choosing some lighter fare this Thanksgiving can make the meal healthier without sacrificing taste. Although there are staples of Thanksgiving dinner, many low-calorie foods can be included to m...
As in most small towns in America, Christmas trees are an important ingredient in celebrating the holiday in the Fallbrook area. There are several kinds of evergreen trees available for residents to choose from at local tree lots when they are ready to start decorating their homes. The Christmas tree tradition is believed to have started in Germany back in the 15th or 16th centuries, when trees were decorated with edible objects like nuts and fruits. Later on, those...

SAN DIEGO COUNTY – In the County of San Diego, veterans, active military and their families make up more than one-third of the population, yet they often lack the support or guidance they need to overcome their personal challenges. San Diego County Board of Supervisors chairman Bill Horn decided this year that that would change. He declared 2015 "The Year of the Veteran" and has made veteran issues a priority. "As a county and as a community, we have a responsibility to support our veterans," said Horn. "They've made s...

We love the volunteers at Fallbrook Community Center for senior lunch! Well, you should have seen what they did to me because I didn't tell them a joke! Turned me into a goon. I am truly sorry, please take off the spell. Speaking of spells – we were hiring a new secretary at church. We asked the applicant to spell Mississippi. She thought about it for a moment and asked, "the river or the state?" We do love the volunteers and appreciate the time they give. Roscoe A. McGuire...

The students were so very happy to 'Shop the Swap' and take home "new" items for themselves, as well as their families. The purpose of the Swap is to get books into the hands of students who may not own any books of their own. The...
"The only thing to fear, is fear itself," - Franklin D. Roosevelt. It is not the Muslims or the Islamic religion that is our enemy, it is the fear created by extremist terrorists. Fear is what they want to make and fear is the enemy. As long as we remain sane, keep our humanistic values and think clearly, they will not win. They will not accomplish what they want which is to make us act irrationally out of fear. It is this fear that tells many to close their hearts and their borders or doors to the desperate people fleeing...
When the junior college shooting in Roseberg, Ore. happened, President Obama immediately wanted more gun control laws passed. He blamed it on the guns. I have a different take: If good, law abiding citizens were allowed to carry concealed weapons, then they could take immediate action against a shooter and not have to wait to be picked off one by one by said shooter. The Second Amendment gives us the right to bear arms. Regarding the shooting at the Paris concert venue: France, I do not believe, allows its population to...
