It is crock pot time year round at my humble abode, but when it is chilly outside, I really love using it to make roasts and stews. This has to be the hands down, easiest recipe I have ever made. It took 5 minutes prep time, then cooked low and slow in my crock pot. Such a yummy dish served over potatoes or even on some ciabatta sandwich rolls! This is a fantastic meal to serve to a crowd that is so beyond easy and delicious. Enjoy! Serves 6 2 lbs. pork tenderloin 1 packet...

I can't imagine Disneyland without the influence of Roland "Rolly" Crump. This 90-year-old, who called Fallbrook home for many years and was named a Disney Legend, gave the park some of its most whimsical and magical touches while working as a Disney Imagineer. His ideas and the resulting creations were many, and his work appears throughout Disneyland: A shiny eye here and a whirring propeller there. Smiling figures, floating pianos and whimsical trash cans: They were all... Full story

Family vacations are a great way to bond and take a step back from the hectic schedules that accompany everyday life, but sometimes time or money make planning an elaborate trip a non-starter. However, a staycation – a vacation you take right in your hometown or nearby – can be much less expensive and fit into nearly any amount of available time with the added bonus of skipping out on potentially stressful travel. Consider these staycation ideas to take advantage of the area's...

In normal times, the...
SMOKE RISE, Ga. – Folk music veteran John McCutcheon has been a fixture on the scene for nearly 50 years. In that time, he’s built a unique bond with both a wide-ranging audience and one of the most diverse groups of presenters of any touring musician. On his annual tour of California each January, which is euphemistically dubbed his “Left Coast Tour,” for instance, he is regularly presented by proper concert promoters, community radio stations, peace and justice groups, folk music societies, regional environmental groups,...
FALLBROOK – Several new residents recently joined Fallbrook Newcomers Club and enjoyed the online December Holiday Party, with over 60% of the membership in attendance. It was a highly festive occasion with fun entertainment, a sing-along, drawings for gorgeous holiday baskets, and a live auction. As one member put it, "Best Zoom meeting yet! Lots of fun to be a part of this meeting. Great gifts presented and really enjoyed the spirit of the entertainer and all those who p...
FALLBROOK – In the year of 2021 many are looking forward in order to feel a sense of hope for the future – both soon and farther away into the future. It's a chance to celebrate a New Year with different kinds of opportunities. The year 2019 ended with a celebratory fundraising gala honoring 50 years of art/artists, classes for growth, study, and fun encompassing remarkable exhibitions. In spite of obstacles, the Fallbrook Art Association artists and volunteers are ready to sh...
Most people living in the U.S. have had the good fortune of eating three meals a day for most of our days – a lot of meals. But how many do we remember? The remembered meals have been something special – something different. We remember where we were, who we were with and, sometimes, what we ate. Two meals I remember for their similarities and their differences were at the Yacht Club in Chicago, Illinois, and the Navajo Café in Compton, California. I was an inexperienced small...
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A former television reporter and anchor turned podcast host from San Diego is among the record field of 32 bachelorettes vying for the affection of the first Black Bachelor, Matt James, on Monday, Jan. 4's two-hour 25th season premiere of ``The Bachelor'' beginning at 8 p.m. on ABC. Sarah Trott describes herself as a hopeless romantic hoping to find a man who prioritizes fitness and a healthy lifestyle just as much as she does and wants someone who will turn...
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Several television shows have temporarily halted production in Southern California amid the COVID-19 surge. Warner Bros. TV confirmed Thursday that the CBS series ``Mom,'' ``B Positive,'' ``Bob Hearts Abishola,'' along with the Showtime drama ``Shameless'' and Netflix's ``You'' will not resume filming next week as scheduled, Variety reported. The studio is aiming for a return the following week, but will evaluate as conditions evolve. Universal TV has also...
North Coast Repertory is running dual performances and neither should be missed. Last time I applauded their one-man show for the telling of "A Christmas Carol." This time it is "An Iliad." Based on Homer's epic poem "Iliad," this monumental telling is a prerequisite for every college bound student. It is recognized by historians that prior to the written word, all stories were heard not read. Keeping with that tradition, Richard Baird masterfully shares the woes of the Trojan...
FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Encore Club is finding new ways to enjoy the holidays together. In December, many members created gingerbread houses to enter in a contest. Winter on "Candy Cane Lane" won first place as a collaboration of three friends. Other members also shared photos of many of Santa's elves, appearing here and there in their homes or climbing a gingerbread house. Encore Club wishes the community happy holidays and a COVID-19-free New Year. Meanwhile they will c...
FALLBROOK – Holiday traditions vary from family to family, but one component of the holidays that seems to be universally enjoyed is a good Christmas song. Music is piped throughout malls and stores to entertain shoppers, and favorite tunes may be on the radio or streamed through a digital music service as families decorate their homes. Many people may love Christmas songs and carols, but not everyone shares the same favorites. Thankfully, there's no shortage of material w...
It is a brave soul who has the courage to rewrite the semi-sacred words of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." That daring man is playwright Zander Michaelson. The outcome is worthy of the original. Naturally, this current pandemic has directors directing differently, like David Ellenstein at North Coast Repertory. To abide by all the convoluted regulations with the state-ordered distancing and so forth, this version of the famous tale is told by one actor performing all of...
RAINBOW – In order to keep their equilibrium and sanity during this trying time, Jack Ragland and his daughter, Natasha Ragland, like to escape in their paintings to create a world of fun and festivity. These paintings were based on photos from the Fallbrook Avocado Festivals a few years ago, of the Citlali and Esperanza Ballet Folklorico dancers set in an imaginary hacienda. Submitted by Natasha Ragland....
Tis the season for delicious soup recipes! Who am I kidding? I love soup when it is 100 degrees outside. There is something to be said about having that cool crisp air outside, with the sound of the rain on the roof and the fireplace going while you eat a nice warm bowl of soup. I try to make my presentation nice even for home cooked meals. Sometimes, like anyone else, I just put the food on the plate and get to it. I was taught that you eat first with your eyes. That is why...
DEL MAR (CNS) - The San Diego Opera will resume its 2020-21 season Monday, Dec. 21 with a drive-in filmed encore presentation of its 2018 production of ``All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914'' at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

A Fallbrook resident recently illustrated her first children's book. "I've been drawing my whole life really, literally a 2-year-old drawing on walls and inside books, so it's just been a thing I've wanted to do my whole life," Summer Faught said. "I really wanted to take on freelancing and actually get my art out there, all my art that's just been sitting and collecting dust." Her grandfather, Frank Pangborn, has written poems and songs, and wrote a poem about a horse called...
After reading this J.D. Vance novel several years ago, two main thoughts came to mind: first, that the book was two to three times longer than it should have been, or needed to be, to convey the message it did, and secondly, and far more importantly, in spite of that mistake the core message was one of the most forthcoming and realistic portrayals of a deeply embedded life-style and culture that not only persists in America, but one that is thoroughly entrenched – far beyond what many other citizens here may think or are e...

The only problem having leftover ham after your holiday dinner is deciding which of several ways to use it for another delicious meal. My favorite use for bits of ham is on pizza, with pineapple of course. When I was growing up, my mother made ham and potato casserole to stretch the leftovers, layering slices of potato with small pieces of ham and a flour-based sauce and baking it in the oven. It was a lot of work for her, but we all loved eating it. For breakfast, choices...
