By examining the effects of biotechnology on the nation's smallest farmers, director Deborah Koons Garcia reveals the unappetizing truth about genetically modified foods: You could unknowingly be serving them for dinner.

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:28:21 GMT http://greasy.com/mindanaomike/festival_gastronomica_del_gato.html In countries where I’ve lived and worked, there were many unusual (from an American point of view) gastronomic features in each culture. In Vietnam, dogs are raised in large numbers for their meat. Taken by the smelly truck load to Ha Noi, they end up for sale in the food markets, their gutted carcasses boiled whole, hair, skin and all. The farther north one goes in Vietnam, the more popular dog meat is. I remember there being only one place in Saigon in 1963 where dog meat was for sale. ... Sun, 12 Oct 2008 08:35:04 GMT http://greasy.com/sumkindabich/good_morning_4.html Last night Jess and I made another supper together. Spaghetti, Homemade garlic bread and green salad. Our nephew, his wife and baby Dylan came over. Oh I took pictures, brb! He is so adorable. Seven weeks old and he loves his great aunt. All kids love me, probably cuz they know I love them. I've got a four day week-end and so do the kids. Last night I kept Jess's kids and she spent the night at her boyfriends. SO now I'm going to make them french toast for breakfast. Yesterday I burned the ...

I'll be back with recipe's. Happy Cooking, Sum Tue, 7 Oct 2008 22:38:53 GMT http://greasy.com/teacherwoman/food_wine_epcot.html I visited the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot at Walt Disney World a couple of years ago and had the time of my life. That year, my son had gone diving at the Living Sea (A huge exhibit with a giant tank filled with all sorts of sea life. We happened to know someone who got us in) and we decided to go visit the World Showcase in the back and eat out dinner. I was in a wheel chair because I had hurt my knee, and he was so cute. He pushed me around all day. They set up booths from many diffe ... Mon, 6 Oct 2008 18:18:56 GMT http://greasy.com/sumkindabich/just_remembered_.html I never posted what I made for supper last night for the family. Kathy wanted a spinach quiche, which she took home with her....LOL! And the rest of us had cheeseburgers and french fries. With all the works. I can't believe that I said I wouldn't cook Thanksgiving supper for the family as I was re-newing my vows with the hubby at dawn on that day, and they have taken over all the plans for that as well. So much for personal and private. Margo is cooking and we are spending the day there. N ... Sat, 4 Oct 2008 13:23:27 GMT http://greasy.com/sumkindabich/family_supper_.html We played music and had all the kids dancing and acting like fools, it was a good time. Hubby must have taken 50 + pictures but I won't let him post them as I was looking less than perfect. LOL! The nephews took hubby outside and were quite nasty with him and his intentions regarding me. They aren't even my blood relatives but they love me more than anything and they are so disgusted with their uncle that I found myself jumping once again to his defense, they told me to go back into the ho ... Sat, 4 Oct 2008 04:13:48 GMT http://greasy.com/panthurdreams/breast_milk_ice_cream.html Dale: OK I am all for treating animals with dignity and respect...HOWEVER...I would totally stop eating ice cream if this happened...which maybe exactly what I need??? LOL (WATERBURY, VT) Mooove over, Holsteins. PETA wants world-famous Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream to tap nursing moms, rather than cows, for the milk used in its ice cream. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is asking the ice cream maker to begin using breast milk in its products instead of cow's milk, saying it ...

The guys went to a Cheech and Chong Concert at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom.  They were all so excited.  I taught hubb ... Fri, 3 Oct 2008 01:20:27 GMT http://greasy.com/sumkindabich/that.html I went to transfer the pictures from my gallery to my blog and hit the delete key on accident. I'll borrow some from the girls at work to show you the pink fire truck and the people who drive it all over the US of A in pink firesuits that we made at the plant that I work at. The company had a private bar-b -cue lunch for all of us workers and we all got to sign the fire truck. It's all for breast cancer awareness. Pretty AWESOME!!!!! The Globe striders walk the walk every year. Hubby and I ... Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:07:16 GMT http://greasy.com/anniel/apple_season.html As I have mentioned before... fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp mornings and the mixture of scents in the air. Also, it is the time of year for my favorite fruit.... apples!!!!! I just can't get enough of them this time of year. I even love going to the produce department just to gaze over the many varieties and to take in the aroma. Not only does an "apple a day keep the doctor away"... but apples can be turned into applesauce, apple pie, apple cake, baked apples, etc., etc. Be ... Mon, 29 Sep 2008 04:02:19 GMT http://greasy.com/troutbend/field_corn.html Staying next door this weekend is the nicest family. Most of them don't speak English, but fortunately a couple of them can translate between us. They are the ones who always share their dinner with me. They bring a large wok/skillet thing that is heated with propane (they bring their own tank). In they dump a big mess of finely diced beef, pork, bacon, onions, red peppers, jalapenos, and hot dogs seasoned with chili powder. They chase it around in that wok until it's all browned. Then the ... Sun, 28 Sep 2008 06:02:34 GMT http://greasy.com/sumkindabich/funny_.html I am apparently the worst sort of human on the face of the planet. Fighting for what I have and what I believe in. It's all poetic justice. I am or have been what they all say about me. Some say love.... I guess I have portrayed myself to be perfect...aren't we all? You must hit rock bottom to truly understand where your life is. My world was recently shattered without any thought from me and I really am having a problem getting over it. There are those that can't wait for me to dissolve b ... Sun, 28 Sep 2008 02:33:24 GMT http://greasy.com/sumkindabich/certain__.html That what I am undertaking is so right. My husband wouldn't look at me, not for anything I did , but bcause he was ashamed at what he did. I went to blogster and read what a horrible person I am by his sister and his daughter and I was so feeling sorry for myself thinking that perhaps they were right and he held me and told me that they are nothing to him as long as he has me. I never wanted to come between him and his family. All I ever did was try to protect him from his sisters lies abo ... Sun, 28 Sep 2008 01:31:57 GMT http://greasy.com/deborah/camera.html I bought a new camera tonight. Was going to add pics to the first page rather than the album but have to figure out how to downsize them first. All the computer classes I took and I have no idea how to downsize a danged photo....*sigh* Thu, 25 Sep 2008 03:18:50 GMT http://greasy.com/sumkindabich/good_sunday_morning.html I know I said a few weeks, right after I signed off ...let me start at the beginning. Wednesday at lunch hubby showed up and I asked him to take me to the store. He looked like hell and wouldn't look me in the eye. He was clearly stressed and I didn't know why. I bought him a phone card so that Ra could call him as he wanted to see his grandpa. Hubby asked if I'd pack a bag of some of his stuff and he'd come by later in the afternoon and pick it up and to see Ra. I did as he requested as s ... Sun, 21 Sep 2008 10:40:58 GMT http://greasy.com/anacoana/autumn_favorite_time_year.html Autumn is my favorite time of the year. My grocery list today is written with the ideas of soups/stews/and hot chocolate. Here's a receipt I'm going to use for desert treat, dipping Biscotti in it. Spanish Hot Chocolate 2 cups of milk 4oz. bittersweet/semisweet chocolate 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg Hot chocolate - a traditional drink of the Aztecs and other Mexican peoples - first came to Spain by means of religious orders at the beginning of the Conquest. ... Sat, 20 Sep 2008 15:13:36 GMT http://greasy.com/nenah/storm______2.html Went to the store today, and replaced part of the things I had to toss. $238. And I had about 3 times that much in frig and deepfreeze. Well, I hope I have learned a lesson, but you know about OLD dogs....But I do plan to just have about a months worth of frozed products in there now. I hope I can stick to that. I love to shop for groceries, just dont like to cook. Ha!! Got the tv back and I am amazed at the damage Ike did. Even way out here in the burbs. Saw a house with 5 large pines on ... Fri, 19 Sep 2008 18:33:37 GMT http://greasy.com/solitaire/pigging.html My Lions club is having its annual picnic tonight--"bring a covered dish" type thing. I'm a sucker for these events. I bring more than a covered dish. I bring an appetite for a family of four. I always pig out on carry-ins. It's one of my vices. You'd think a skinny guy like me would be careful, but no. For about 360 days in the year, I'm well behaved, eating "proper" foods in moderation. Oh, I like desserts and an occasional Snickers bar, but that pales in comparison to what I CAN do to a ... Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:08:49 GMT http://greasy.com/sumkindabich/break_.html My life is full of ups and downs and I need to get it fixed. So for awhile I'm gonna sign off. Thanks for all your support throughout the years. I'll be back in a few weeks. Happy Cooking, Sum Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:48:40 GMT
