It’s never too soon to look forward to food on Thanksgiving. The folks at All Recipes have some great information for you if you have any questions. I’ll be doing some gourmet cooking at hunting camp later this week and sharpening my skills in time to whip up a holiday feast at the Zimmerman home.
Veggie Awards
You know I love my vegetables. They go really good with my meat of the day. So, I was interested to see the VegNews Veggie Award winners announced. I expected maybe broccoli or a nice carrot but no it’s about a lot more than that.
More Meatrix
The next installment of The Meatrix is out. It’s called Meatrix II 1/2.
Hall of Fame Food
Hall of fame food is what I like. I made a nice roast beef in the oven last night in fact. It looks like the Beef Checkoff is getting some recognition for all the work it does in reaching out to the restaurant industry.
So Long Trans Fat
I’m going to feel a lot better about ordering Extra Crispy from KFC now on. KFC’s decision to move to low-lin soybean oil is getting a lot of media attention today.
Put Some Ethanol in my Latte Please
Well now, it’s about time you’re able to get a nice espresso when you drop off your grain. Can you say, “After you get done checking the moisture content can you fix me a nice cappuccino?” It looks like this fits into the “Energy” component of the CHS business. I know I need some each morning to get going. I put a little caffeine in me and some ethanol in my vehicle. In fact, I think I need another cup right now.
NCMA Will Be SSFPA
According to a story on Meatingplace.com, the National Meat Canners Association has changed its name to the Shelf-Stable Food Processors Association.
Barns Not Painted Tractor Colors
I’m not sure what the ROI is on this advertising strategy but it’s sure making some old barns more colorful. It’s Bob Evans way of advertising their new Italian dishes.
Wheatgrass Nationally, Naturally I’m Sure
What is Wheatgrass? This is a new one on me. I’m just trying to picture a bottle of Wheatgrass juice and having a hard time with it. Here’s a website where you can learn more about it. Here’s another one. My gosh, a Google search brought up 84,700 results. Maybe these guys are on to something.
Florida Fresh Tomatoes Available – Again
It looks like the advertising campaign the Florida Tomato Committee ran for field fresh Florida tomatoes was a successful one.
