((The Weekend diner this week ends up at Patrick Evans' house. It smells
great, I know you do a lot of cooking. I DO LIKE TO COOK. AND THIS IS A
RECIPE THAT ACTUALLY STEMS FROM MY ITALIAN BACKGROUND, AND IT'S A RECIPE THAT
MY GRANDMOTHER AND MY MOTHER PASSED DOWN TO ME. And if you read the WDBJ
cookbook, you know your grandmother grew up in a mountaintop village in Italy.
THAT'S RIGHT, AND SHE PASSED ON A LOT OF RECIPES TO MY MOTHER AND FATHER. NOW
THIS IS A TOMATO SAUCE. I'VE PUT IN SOME GARLIC AND SOME OLIVE OIL. PUT IN A
CAN OF CRUSHED TOMATOS. ON TOP OF THAT, ADDED SOME SALT, PEPPER, OREGANO. A
LITTLE FRESH BASIL FROM MY GARDEN THAT I GREW, DRIED OUT. Now it's time to get
to the meat of it-- both literally and figuratively. THAT'S RIGHT, AND WHAT I
LIKE TO DO, I'VE GOT SOME BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST THAT I'VE CHOPPED UP INTO
CUBES LIKE THAT, AND WE'RE GOING TO ADD THIS, I ALSO LIKE TO ADD MY GREEN AND
RED PEPPER AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE I LIKE THE GREEN PEPPER NOT TO GET TOO
SOFT. SO THEN YOU STIR ALL OF THAT IN. ALSO IF YOU LIKE TO, PUT A SPLASH OF
RED WINE INTO THE TOMATO SAUCE. IT MAKES IT TASTE A LITTLE BETTER, AND DON'T
WORRY ABOUT THE ALCOHOL CONTENT. IT DOES IN FACT COOK OUT. This recipe isn't
exactly like the one your grandmother made. THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S BEEN MODERNIZED
OVER THE YEARS. AND ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT IT IS YOU CAN DO IT ALL IN
THIS ONE ELECTRIC SKILLET. IT'S PRETTY EASY. That's easy for cleanup. How
long do you want to let it simmer? YOU WANT TO LET IT SIMMER 20 MINUTES, EVEN
AS LONG AS 30 WON'T HURT IT. Very Good, and we'll sit and listen to Frank
Sinatra in the meantime? YOU SHOULD ALWAYS COOK WITH FRANK SINATRA, JERRY VALE
IF YOU'RE IN A PINCH.
It's 20 minutes later, and it smells wonderful, Patrick? I LIKE TO SERVE THIS
OVER A LITTLE PASTA OR A LITTLE RICE, YOU NOTICE I'VE ADDED SOME BLACK OLIVES,
YOU CAN ADD MUSHROOMS AS WELL IF YOU'D LIKE, AND I THINK IT'S A PRETTY GOOD
LOOKING DISH-- As are you. Thank you very much, Andrew. ))

(( About 40 minutes outside of Roanoke, just past Eagle Rock, lies a hiking
trail that ALSO boasts some Civil War history.
Roaring Run includes a scenic creek, a waterfall, and a 19th century iron
furnace that was in operation from 18-38 until 18-65.
As the story goes, a group of union soldiers took over the area and shut
the furnace down permanently...
But even today, a furnace by- product, this shiny, black stone known as
"slag" can be found throughout the grounds.
After stopping at the furnace, it's an uphill journey to one of the most
spectacular sites along the trail.

((KIMBERLY MCBROOM/NEWS 7: ROARING RUN FALLS IS UNIQUE IN THAT THE WATER COMES
TO A FORK AS IT CASCADES DOWN THE ROCK. THIS AREA HAS CERTAINLY STOOD THE TEST
OF TIME, DESPITE DAMAGE DONE BY INSECTS AND HEAVY FLOODING. ))

Roaring Run is no stranger to high water-- but forest officials say the
walking bridges have proven they're built to last.

THE FLOODS, '85, THEY STOOD TALL AND WE DIDN'T LOSE ANY BRIDGES. ))

But many of the large hemlock trees that surround the area haven't been as
fortunate.
Boardwine says insect damage is the reason hikers will notice stumps in
the place of trees.

IN VIRGINIA RIGHT NOW. AND THE END RESULT IS THE TREES USUALLY END UP DYING.
AND ALONG A HEAVY TRAVELLED TRAIL LIKE THIS, A DEAD TREE IS A REAL HAZARD. ))

That still isn't enough to take away from the beauty of this stretch in the
Jefferson National Forest.
While taking a stroll through the woods may not normally occur to you
during the winter months, forest service officials say it SHOULD.

Roaring Run is open year- round to hikers--
Just make sure you dress in layers, and wear good walking shoes.

This 43-year old Chinese electrician developed the muscles in his throat,
tongue and mouth so they have a range of about 2- and ahalf octaves.
His work is paying off.
He'll perform for millions of people on China's National Television Station.
