It’s almost impossible to find a parent who doesn’t eagerly share his or her woes about his or her child’s food “issues.” Some kids refuse to eat anything green. Others only want to eat food that is white. Some love crunchy while others will abstain. Taking each person’s preferences and aversions [...]
One reason I was so eager to jump on board when my daughter asked to do the 4H poultry project is that they are such great recyclers. Huh? Chickens recycle? But they can’t sort the cans and paper and drag the bins to the curb. True, but they can eat nearly all of the scraps [...]

Of the organ meats, [...]
The other day a fellow blogger linked to a post here with accolades, but the exact nature of the link had me laughing. Her words exactly:

As in Japan, the perfectly pink cherry blossom trees are [...]
Some days are just nicer than others.

Question #1: Are there any differences between milk and half and half?
There is a huge difference between milk and 1/2 and 1/2.
The butterfat content in half & half is dramatically higher than that in milk. In half & half, it is 12.5%. In milk it is typically between 0-4% (0 being skim milk).

Fried Rice is the perfect go-to meal. As long as you have Rice, eggs and scallions you already have all the basics of fried rice on hand.

Does this sound familiar: “How much more do I have to eat before I can have dessert?” If so, you are not alone.
