Leftover Turkey Casserole
Chop about 2 cups turkey, 2 carrots, 1 turnip and 1 routabega into bite sized pieces. Saute veggies in olive oil along with shallots until browned and beginning to soften. Combine with turkey and add to casserole dish. Top with a layer of crushed corn tortilla chips.
Cook 2 strips of bacon. In the same pan, over low heat, add 2 T. butter and 3 T. flour, stirring until flour is incorporated. Slowly add 2 c. milk until smooth sauce forms. Add 3 dashes cayenne pepper and juice from 1/2 of a lime, bring to a boil, and simmer for 20 minutes. Pour sauce into dish and toss until evenly mixed.
Top with grated cheese (I used pepper jack) and bake 20 minutes covered and 10 uncovered until cheese is bubbly and brown. Gobble gobble!

Opinion & Analysis: The case for local food
Meat Wars...
In an article for The Hamilton Spectator, Howard Elliott illuminates the “many and diverse benefits to eating local,” including that “[l]ocally grown food can more easily be raised without chemicals and additives since it doesn’t need to be transported.” The issue of “food-supply security” is also crucial, suggests Elliott, as local food allows “more personal control [over] what we buy and eat.”

ICE CREAM? No WHEY!
BEWARE. Lurking in the ice cream isle of your supermarket in the same containers as the REAL ice cream is "FROZEN DAIRY DESSERT".- Nowhere on the carton does it have the words ICE CREAM..? Whey is the first ingredient, followed by skim milk and then sugar. Whey is a by-product (leftover) from the cheese making process. It is fit for human consumption, however, it is mostly fed to livestock (cows &pigs&chickens).

Name That Garden.
"Victory and defeat are of the same price."
Thomas Jefferson
“I beseech those whose piety will permit them reverently to petition, that they will pray for this union, and ask that He who buildeth up and pulleth down nations will, the mercy preserve and unite us. For a Nation divided against itself cannot stand.”
Sam Houston
“It is a tragic mix-up when the United States spends $500,000 for every enemy soldier killed, and only $53 annually on the victims of poverty.”

U.S.D.A. Livestock Projections
LABELING CATEGORIES
The law expressly establishes four general categories of meat products.
Product of the United States - A covered commodity is eligible for designation as "Product of U.S." only if it is derived "exclusively from an animal that is exclusively born, raised and slaughtered in the United States." |
Multiple countries of origin - A product is deemed to have multiple countries of origin if the animal from which it was derived was born and/or raised in a different country or countries and then slaughtered in the U.S. Covered commodities in this category would have to identify all the relevant countries. |
Animals imported for immediate slaughter - Covered commodities from animals raised in another country but slaughtered in the U.S. would fall into this category. |
Imported finished products to be sold at retail - Meat products imported from another country would be labeled as a product of that country. |
The statute also has special provisions for ground products such as ground beef or ground pork. Specifically, the law allows ground products to declare on labels the countries of origin from which the product inputs came or, in the alternative, the label may declare the countries �that may be reasonably contained therein.� Thus, the regulation allows a ground beef label, for example, to list the countries that are or may be the sources of the ground beef inputs, so long as the processor has had in inventory an input from that country in the previous 60 days.

The major players in the food aid game
of present politics; in other words, of organized chaos.
Each and every one of us must support measures to save the living.
If only people are told what is happening, then the world's dark future, which now
seems to threaten everyone in it, may be changed.
But only if we take action.
Now is the time to act, now is the time to create, now is the time for us to live in a way
that will give life to others.”
– The Manifesto Against Hunger, 1981

Bakin' bread with Bacon
Salmagundi
Excerpt from The Seafarers: The Pirates
by Douglas Botting & the Editors of Time-Life Books
"A cook might include as the basis of his salmagundi any or all of the following: turtle meat, fish, pork, chicken, corned beef, ham, duck and pigeon. The meats would be roasted, chopped into chunks and marinated in spiced wine, then combined with cabbage, anchovies, pickled herring, mangoes, hard-boiled eggs, palm hearts, onions, olives, grapes and any other pickled vegetables that were available. The whole would then be highly seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper and mustard seed and doused with oil and vinegar - and served with drafts of beer and rum."
