Unsafe Food

Everyday it seems we have more and more unsafe food in our world. How long will it be and there will be no good food left, unless you grow it yourself do you really know how safe your food you buy is. I try to buy the best produce possible and the best meat but everyday there is a recall of one sort or another. Everything we eat is processed to one degree or another, it is very hard to raise your own meat when you live in a city, maybe moving to the country is one option.

Kitchen Wall Spice Racks

I’ve decided to go ahead with my first plan of buying my mother a spice rack for Christmas. Her old wall spice rack fell and broke into a million pieces a few months ago, what a mess that was! Now I don’t proclaim to know a whole heck of a lot about spice racks, but I’ve been taking a bit of time and looking around online and I’ve seen a few kitchen spice racks that I think she would welcome into her kitchen.

My mother is one of the best cooks around and she really depends on her spices. I’m not sure why she hasn’t replaced the broken one, except that maybe she knew it would be a good gift idea for someone to get for her for Christmas, much like I plan to do. My mother is a hard one to buy presents for, so this is the perfect opportunity for me to get her something that she really needs and hopefully will use for a very, very long time to come.

Western Style Plates

My sister that lives in Oklahoma has a very different motif in her home, her home is a log home that they have decorated in the western style, with saddles as chairs and old guns on the walls she also has western dinnerware. that is very attractive and very fun to use. You can see most of the items she has at her home at Western Cowboy Home Decor, check out their web site at westerncowboyhomedecor.com, a fun shopping site for people who love the west and western decor.

Food Storage

With the price of everything rising we have decided to horde a bit of food and water, just in case there is a national emergency. We look at the expiration dates and only store foods that have at least a year shelf life left in them, and we will rotate them as they get close to expiring. I wish we had a stockpile of gasoline that will become the hardest to buy if the price keeps going up. Maybe after the election next fall prices will get back to normal, I hope.

Bad milk

As I went to pour the milk on my morning cereal this morning I caught the whiff of sour milk, as I brought the carton up to check I looked at the date still in date for 3 more days. OMG the aroma of sour milk hit me, I still smell it, next to skunk and perhaps week old laundry sour milk is the worst smell in the world. I still have the reek of it in my head several hours later. I will have to go buy some new milk as soon as I’m not nauseous any more.
