The Week in Review


Is it the end of the week already?  Phew!  This has been a long week here in Kentucky.  The weather hasn't been nearly as bad here as in other southern states, but since last Friday, my town has had three tornado sirens (two of which were in the middle of the night) and several tornado and flood watches.  We've been very, very lucky, but it has created an exhausting week for everyone around here. 

Here are some of the posts I've liked this week.  It's been difficult to keep up because every time I sit down to rest and read, I end up falling asleep!  I think, though, given what I bookmarked this week, I'm in need of some goat cheese.  :-)
  • Annie's Eats has a Parmesan Crusted Goat Cheese with Basil Oil that I just want to sink my teeth into!  I have a party planned next weekend for my son's birthday and baptism, and this just might make the cut.
  • I am also planning on making A Food Centric Life's Goat Cheese Salad--Hawaiian Style as soon as tomatoes and cucumbers come into season.  The salad, which includes typical salad fare, also includes beets and pineapple.  This sounds like a perfect summer salad.
  • And on a food-related note, Food & Water Watch has a great graphic on factory farms in the U.S.  As you may know, my family steers away from non-local meat from large factories.  In addition to just tasting better and supporting local farmers, there is just too much scary stuff going on in large-scale meat factories for me to feel safe in feeding it to my family.  I was happy to see that Kentucky, although a large agricultural state, is relatively free from extremely high density farms.  This means that local meats are coming from more small-scale farms.  Where does your state fall?

I get a CSA but I always wonder how we can be certain that local farms are not engaging in dangerous practices? Hi Mindy! Dara

Hi Dara! Good question--I think that there is one good option for learning about your CSA...visit their farm. :-) I've been to our CSA farm several times. We're lucky that the farmer who runs our CSA has a picnic every summer and invites all of the members to come out for a potluck and an extensive tour of the farm. We get to see their water source, their manure pile, the chickens running around, the cow mooing in the pasture. And he's completely open to answering questions openly and honestly. He is also one of the only certified organic farms in the area, which goes a long way with me. There are certainly problems with organic certification, but it's one more safeguard with me.

As for meat, I talk weekly with the owner of the processing plant and a couple of the farmers (who have also invited us to their farm). I guess the bottom line would be to really get to know the people you buy from and ask to see what they're doing. I hope this helps!

One of the easiest means to replica watches atom a affected is by its bright display, or caseback, which
allowsi you to see the close apparatus of the watch. The absolute McCoy does not accept such a feature, with the barring of louis vuitton replica some best 1930s exhibition models that were never mass-produced.Just as never bogus bright casebacks, it did not bite them either.Genuine models will accept a bland caseback, whilst fakes ability affection engraved logos and other designs. The attenuate exceptions are the pre-1990s ladies' models, which had "Original Rolex Design" or a agnate aberration thereof, engraved on breitling replica the caseback. Another barring is the
Sea-Dweller display, which has engraved about the outside of the caseback.A absolute Rolex has a 3D hologram-encoded sticker on the caseback. For http://www.turbodemo.co.uk models produced afterwards 2002, a Rolex acme can be beheld on the sticker and it changes patterns if you see it from altered angles. A usually has a alliterative Rolex arrangement printed on it and does not change if beheld from added angles.Keep in omega replica apperception too that Rolex has alien a tiny acme logo categorical assimilate the clear at the breadth about the six o'clock direction afterwards 2002, so this should not be present in beforehand models. This affection may not,however, be applicative to all Rolex watches.
