    I spent much of today canning lemon-basil-eggplant caponata and pickled cabbage from main ingredients I grew from seed. I guess that makes me a maker of fussy artisanal food--fussy for me meaning it took a lot of work. Twenty minutes to stew/peel/chop/shred/mince/squeeze six different...

    Probably, the only people still hand-milking cows and goats are the Amish and small hobby farmers.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    My sister-in-law is friends with someone who lost her husband while he was waiting for treatment from the VA. Personally, as a veteran, I've never set foot in a VA hospital. When I was between regular employers last year, I got short-term major medical insurance. It was all I needed and the...

    There is a restaurant near my house called the Steer-Inn with a picture of a steer on the sign.

    Hipsters in my neck of the woods go to the very unpretentious little grocery co-op that sells pastured meat, eggs and dairy from family farms here in Indiana, with a deli that serves meat from a local charcuterie. One one hand, it sounds precious; OTOH, it supports old-school jobs and ways of life.

    I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes.

    Originally, it had more to do with omega-3 v. omega-6 fatty acid ratios. Some people preferred pasture-raised because it was better for the environment. Don't get me started on wine, and everything else the "whole, unprocessed food" crowd adores. It takes a lot of processing to turn grapes...

    And no doubt, some of the foodies affect to be delicate flowers with regard to anything but pristine, pasture-raised, non-GMO, artisan-crafted ingredients. Having life-long food intolerances and a sensitive stomach, I understand the appeal of variety when you're limited in what you can eat. But...

    I've worked in a kitchen and I've worked in lots of cubicles. I'll take the cubicle.

    A lot of health problems cleared up for me when I stopped eating wheat. BUT, since I'm not as sensitive to it as someone with celiac, I don't request gluten-free meals in restaurants. It's a lot of work for them to sterilize cutting boards, utensils, etc.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    In a nutshell, someone was proselytizing that if you give up everything you enjoy to sit around chanting nonsense, you, too, can become enlightened enough to troll message boards and sling insults. And lose your sense of humor. Reminds me of the summer of 2014 when vegan trolls were taking...

    Well, I used to swing dance. But my knees can't take the abuse anymore.

    He pegged me as quite the swinger. Good grief, I make the accountants I work with look wild and crazy by comparison.

    Upping the game with a million ingredients has even invaded canning. I was looking to can and freeze the produce from my garden when I got a canning guide from Better Homes & Gardens. I haven't even heard of some of the ingredients in their canning recipes--who knew white balsamic vinegar was a...

    Big pharma, medical research and "health" nonprofits (I'm being redundant) make the medical profession look like a bunch of amateurs. I'd sooner give money to Al Quaeda than the American Heart Association or the American Diabetes Association. https://twitter.com/pharma_ceo/with_replies

    Vintage Finds Renovating Vintage Homes

    Sometimes when there are enough trees and bushes on a lot, the house IS the find. People think of Indiana as miles of corn fields, but the natural landscape is forest.
