First time I ever saw it was something about, or around, 65 years ago. It was just a huge hole in the side of the bluff overlooking the lower Big Piney River, a fantastic looking cave about 50 or 60 feet above the base of the bluff, and likely 15 or 20 feet down from the peak of it. Inaccessible!

Cilantro is a favorite ingredient in guacamole, tacos, rice dishes and of course salsa. But as summer temperatures climb, the cilantro quickly goes to seed. This can be frustrating but using all parts of the plant or growing a heat tolerant cilantro-flavored substitute can help.

Hello readers and friends of the Mountaineer Echo, I hope this week finds everyone in good health and happy spirits. As for me and my family summer is going well, going a little too fast for us, but that how the world goes around. Sometimes we are always in a hurry to get no were fast. Take some time and slow down and enjoy the day. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and As Always remember the Little Things.

July is when we celebrate “Red, Blue and You!” This celebration happens not only as a Nation but in our homes. I was reminded that July is National Blueberry and Watermelon Month. The beautiful colors of red and blue mixed cause the food products to look like all American Dishes for the whole month of July. Fresh blueberry muffins with cream cheese and cold watermelon slices are one of my favorite summer breakfast menus. There are endless ways to love blueberries this summer including the classics: adding blueberries to our cereal and salads, as well as, snacking on them throughout the day.
