Family Chicken Cacciatore
I call this recipe Family Chicken Cacciatore because it makes enough to feed the whole family plus extra and it’s one of those meals that can be made and served in the same pot. That means whoever’s doing kitchen clean-up gets a break too! It’s delicious on its own but is also very good served with…

The Golden Egg

Railway Safety is an Effort for All Cities
We have to admit: When the Bend City Council adopted a resolution in 2021 that declared opposition to seeing rail cars carrying fossil fuels run through the city, we were dubious. What could a small city like Bend do to actually make things safer, in the face of petroleum companies and the other private enterprises…

Phase Fatigue
Here’s a random fact for you: counting this article, I’ve written 997 stories for the Source Weekly, going all the way back to Sept. 29, 2010. The first superhero movie I reviewed for this paper was Marvel’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” released July 22, 2011. Ironically, the article focuses on how I was starting…
Source Material: Music Docs
When I first saw Oliver Stone’s 1991 psychedelic and dramatic whirlwind as a teen, “The Doors” — and the way Val Kilmer truly transcended into Jim Morrison’s spirit (and fully adopted his body and voice) — the relationship between true stories in music history and filmmaking seemed like an entirely new planet to me. I…

Papi Chulo’s is Great Bang for Your Buck
My last meal would likely be a taco, some guacamole and chips and a margarita to wash it down. I rarely eat any Mexican food that I don’t absolutely love, so I am biased, no doubt. However, I’m doing my best to be neutral and honest about my recent Papi Chulo’s experience. Papi Chulo’s Jalisco…
Zwickelmania is a Statewide Open-House at Every Brewery
Feb. 25 is the Oregon Brewers Guild’s 15th annual Zwickelmania® held at every brewery (except for Portland’s bounty, which celebrated Zwickelmania last Saturday). The event began as equal parts incentive and invitation to visit Oregon breweries—as many as you can safely hit—and sample beer so fresh it hasn’t even been kegged. The name comes from…
