Drawing a line on deputy game wardens

How does affirming private property rights affect the future of hunting in Pennsylvania? It is leading to fewer game wardens on the ground. The Pennsylvania Game Commission has announced the end of the state’s Deputy Game Warden Program. More than 100 part-time or volunteer workers are seeing their service come to an end.

Lobster Rolls with a Burst of Flavor

I’ve never been to Maine for a lobster roll, but the ones I’ve had in other places have been so good that I knew I needed to make one myself. This version is from my cookbook “Home” and is made with perfectly cooked lobster meat that is plump, juicy and tender but also firm, and slightly chewy.
