  • ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ haunt us and taunt us

    Movies that test the imagination seem to draw me. I am intrigued by them. I guess their impelling force has much to do with the power found in Scripture and in classical works, power that urges me to an alternate understanding of reality. They are the myths—lies that tell the truth.

  • Versatile, dry onion soup mix is more than just an onion dip

    Mixing sour cream with one of those dry onion soup mix envelopes was a staple at parties at our house for years. It was a cheap and easy way to make a pretty darn good dip. And, with a bag of nacho chips and a bottle of wine, the dip would make the occasion festive.
    Then one day, I read the label on the onion soup mix envelope. The company suggested mixing its onion soup with ground beef for an onion meatloaf. It really added some zest to it. I decided to ask some friends what they used it in.

  • Lower your score with advice to help you play smart golf

    Golf is a simple game.
    The ball is not moving when you try to make contact with it. No one is out there intercepting it or catching it and throwing it to first base. When you walk down the fairway, no one is rushing you, trying to tackle you and bring you to the ground.
    There are no defensive players in the grass, waiting to high-stick you. You have no team and there is no opposing team. When you get to the green, nothing stands between you and the cup except your skills and mental readiness.
