FOOD INDUSTRY AND HARVEST NEWS:

Horizon Organic Supends Organic Milk Purchases From Texas Dairy Due To Animal Abuse Allegations

“We take these allegations seriously. We expect all of our suppliers to always uphold our high standards of animal welfare and quality,” Holm said. “We are conducting a full investigation and are committed to moving quickly to take the appropriate actions.“

PETA included a lengthy list of observations released through video and photographs at the farm in Wills Point, Texas, about an hour east of Dallas. It alleged blind and sickly calves, bedding that had nails that injured and crippled the animals, a cow floating in feces, and grounds littered with rotting corpses.

TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC:

Buffet-style service was a hit, and all guests really seemed to enjoy the meal last Thursday. The sides were amazing, my stuffing was a big hit, even with my wife who thinks stuffing is stupid. I had roasted potatoes instead of mashed but I say mashed is better! The gravy was spot on, super tasty with a wonderful “sagey” aftertaste and perfect consistency. One stand out was my stewed apples, which tasted wonderful but you cannot use two different varieties because they cook so differently that you will have some firm and some mush all at the same time. Spanish Basque Brunt Cheesecake was to die for. Stabilized whipped cream had great texture. The part that needed improvement was my timing, the turkey finished quicker than expected and was not as hot as we wanted it to be. Overall, a successful meal and an enjoyable meal for certain.

HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI:

Free fertility from leaves- instead of throwing them away or burning them just use the mower to mulch them and place them into garden beds, around trees, and use them as a carbon source in compost.

ECONOMIC NEWS:

Oil prices have eased somewhat as we head into winter which is a welcomed change for certain. We paid $3.52 cents yesterday but our prices are usually much higher than other states. Save money on fuel by using grocery points and also using this website which shows the best prices.

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION:

Relyte Electrolytes from Redmond Real Mango and Mixed Berry flavors

CLOSING THOUGHTS:

To improve your cooking skills it’s a good practice to evaluate what you cook and how it turned out then make any adjustments or celebrate your amazing food!
