Cooking with Mumzy!

Hello, we are in the middle of May now and this time of the year reminds me so much of my summers as a Girl Scout Leader. I spent 14 years as a leader of my daughter’s troop and we had a blast. We went on day camps to weekend camps, and this is one of the meals we made because it was nutritious and very easy to make. The girls enjoyed it because they could make it the way they liked it. These are some of the Little Things that I can look back on and remember how fortunate I was. As Always Remember the Little Things.

Hunting A Good Place to Fish

Sometimes, to be a successful fisherman you have to become a diligent hunter. A friend and I did just that a few days ago, going up a swollen and muddy Sac River, looking for some tributaries where white bass and walleye might have moved into warming, clearer water. We found one, which had no walleye or white bass, but it was a beautiful spot with the clearer, deep water we were looking for.

Summer bird feeding continued

This week we discuss cautions on summer feeding. While a greater variety of foods will attract more birds, backyard birders should take care not to offer less nutritious options during the summer when baby birds need the best food for healthy growth. Kitchen scraps, for example, are not suitable to feed birds during the summer. While small quantities of bread, cooked rice, and other scraps won’t harm adult birds when offered as very rare treats, these foods offer no nutrition for nestlings and other young birds. Avoid offering this “bird junk food” during the months when young birds need a healthy diet to grow into strong, mature adults.
