Be honest: do you know the difference between Pasturized and Homogenized?

I grew up on a small dairy farm. I buy my milk from a very small local farm, and I know the difference. I buy milk that is Pasturized but not homogenized. But I’m learning many folks don’t know the difference. Do You?

The Hidden Memories of Plants

Inside a quiet revolution in the study of the world’s other great kingdom.

by Sarah Laskow

"In the study of the plant kingdom, a slow revolution is underway. Scientists are beginning to understand that plants have abilities, previously unnoticed and unimagined, that we’ve only ever associated with animals. In their own ways, plants can see, smell, feel, hear, and know where they are in the world."

I am going to shank the next person who thinks food safety laws don't matter because they're only cooking for themselves and their families.

FOOD BORNE ILLNESS DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN IF YOU ARE IN A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN OR A HOME ONE. NOR DO ALLERGENS.
