Allergies are common in animals and many types of allergies are possible. These include environmental, seasonal/pollen and foods. Many allergies are inhalant as well. It is common for pets to even exhibit both food and other allergies. Food allergies can be managed successfully through dietary changes and we can help you to start eliminating the potential allergens in your pet's food. Environmental allergies like dust mites or molds can be more difficult to manage. With seasonal allergies, the pet can be allergic to certain tree pollen that is only present in the environment for a few weeks out of the year. Typically when pets have an allergic response to something they react by scratching themselves, chewing/licking their paws and developing ear infections. Commonly, cats exhibit inflammation and hair loss around the eyes and face from food allergies. Some environmental allergies may be out of your control, however others can be managed. Simple practical steps such as keeping the grass cut short, changing air filters, vacuuming regularly, and bathing the pet more frequently to eliminate allergens that may cling to the coat may help significantly. The addition of essential fatty acids such as salmon oil can help with its natural anti-inflammatory response along with prebiotics and probiotics for healthy digestive system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Deciding what to feed your pet is an important decision but it doesn't have to be complicated. We are here to help you understand current feeding trends combined with solid recommendations from veterinary professionals. There are some health conditions that can be effectively managed with diet changes. We always recommend that you consult with your veterinarian regarding any pet health concerns.
An unpleasant conversation many pet parents have with their veterinarian can be the topic of impacted anal glands. The anal glands are grape sized glands that are located in the area of the rectal opening. These glands serve the purpose of being able to produce a noxious liquid that lubricates the stool and leaves It with a biological marker that helps others dogs to identify your dog. Why do they lift their tails? The pressure in lifting a tail allows a small amount of the anal liquid to be secreted to make available a bio marker for the greeting dog. However sometimes due to genetics or allergies, the ducts or tissue becomes inflamed and will not properly drain. Potentially anal gland issues can be a secondary response to another underlying concern. Among these may be soft stool, parasites or too compact a stool that doesn't have enough mass to naturally express/pressure the glands. Diet plays a big role in helping to make a firm stool.
Anxiety in pets can be caused by a number of environmental or emotional factors. Behavioral problems such as barking, whining, destroying things by chewing, urinating in the home and more, may be caused by anxiety. These problems may occur for different reasons (triggers) such as: change in routine, boredom, guests, thunderstorms, separation anxiety, loud noises, etc. It is recommended that behavior modification training, consistent home environment, and exercise be provided to help change your pet's behavior. Also, look for foods that utilize more whole grains and lower carbohydrates like grain free foods that help sustain energy levels longer and prevent energy spikes. In addition to that, natural and herbal remedies can also help lessen the effects of the "triggers" that create the undesirable behaviors.
Cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental death in canines. Cancer is abnormal growth, and when left unchecked can occur in just about any part of the body and at any age. The medical community is still researching causes of cancer; however, theories have suspected genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and an individual's immune system. Studies show a carnivore's cancer cells typically feed on carbohydrates, and cannot readily metabolize fats and proteins. Look for a diet low in carbs and high in protein to help "starve" the growth of cancer cells. Also, many foods such as grain frees and foods that contain high levels of antioxidants such as pumpkin, cranberry, etc are also good for not only helping to starve cancer cells but also helping to fight free radicals, which can ultimately cause cancer.
The gum and teeth condition often provide us with a picture of our pets overall health. Too much plaque and tarter can cause gum erosion creating pockets for bacterial infections. These infections can cause tooth and bone decay, and can lead to more serious health issues. Plaque is made up of a colony of bacteria mixed with saliva, blood cells and other bacterial components. Another common term, tarter (or calculus), occurs when the plaque becomes mineralized. In general, keeping plaque and tarter from forming is your best line of defense. Several natural non-evasive products are available that are effective in preventing plaque build-up, or removing it once established. Also, the introduction of hard bones and treats may help to mechanically chip away tarter while providing natural flossing to your pet's gums. Brushing your pet's teeth should become a part of their daily care.
Diabetes is a disease that can occur in multiple ways, but is often seen when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, the pancreas does not produce the right type of insulin, or ultimately when the body's cells cannot utilize the insulin being created. Insulin is required for the body to efficiently use sugars and carbohydrates. Without insulin, sugar accumulates in the blood and spills into the urine. Sugar can be found in urine only when the level of blood sugar rises to such an extent that it exceeds the capacity of the kidneys to reabsorb it. Sugar in the urine causes pets to pass large amounts of urine and to drink lots of water which can affect the absorption of nutrients. Without insulin, the brain becomes sugar deprived and the animal will be constantly hungry, yet they may lose weight due to improper use of nutrients being provided in the form of food. Studies show that overweight pets are more predisposed to developing diabetes. A natural diet high in protein/low in carbs and high in fiber (from complex carbs) may help prevent wide fluctuations and maintain steady levels of blood glucose levels. Our recommendation is to find the best quality food that is low glycemic, low fat and appeals to your particular pet so they will eat a consistent diet.
Cats in particular are very susceptible to the effects of a poor diet, for example one that is too rich in carbohydrates and low in protein. In fact many cats diabetes and blood sugar can be managed by switching to a high protein/grain free diet.
Grain Free Diets and Dilated Cardiomyopathy
You may have been hearing or reading some concerning information about grain free and limited ingredient diets and an association to a condition in dogs known as Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM is a disease of the heart muscle and results in an enlarged heart. We want to help you to understand the discussion and timeline of the news regarding this topic.
In June 2018, a nutritionist at Tufts University Veterinary School wrote an article stating there has been an increased incidence of DCM in breeds of dogs not inherently predisposed to DCM. Dogs with this heart condition experience symptoms of weakness, exercise intolerance, and coughing. These clinical signs are not only associated with DCM but other forms of congestive heart disease as well. Testing for DCM involves thorough physical exam, blood chemistry, blood taurine level testing, X-rays, ECG and echocardiograms by cardiologists. If you have concerns and would like precautionary testing, we can arrange that for you.
The FDA center of veterinary medicine has been investigating this claim. The most recent FDA report, published on September 2020, has yet to come up with any firm evidence linking specific diets to DCM. The FDA is pursuing leads in affected dogs consuming diets containing legumes in significant portions. Legumes are peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc. Diets with potatoes and sweet potatoes are also under investigation. Reports are focused on formulations (high concentrations/ratios) and not just the ingredients themselves.
Certain breeds of dogs are inherently predisposed to DCM. Giant breeds (Great Danes, Newfoundland, St. Bernard, etc.), Dobermans, and Boxers to name a few. Certain smaller breeds (English Setters, Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retriever) are also affected and, in some cases, are known to be reversed by taurine/carnitine supplements. If your dog is predisposed and is on a grain free diet or a limited ingredient diet, don't panic. Simply changing to a traditional diet, that may contain healthy grains, may be a simple solution for what has been speculated by some.
You may have your dog on a grain free or limited ingredient diet for good reasons. Allergy symptoms in your pet have a variety of causes and we know food allergies are commonly implicated. You might suspect your dog is experiencing a food allergy by some form of digestive distress, itching or skin and ear infections. In these cases, it is very individualized when selecting an appropriate hypoallergenic food. You will need to experiment or do a trial elimination diet to find what food choice is best suited for your dog.
We continue to recommend feeding a variety of diets if your dog doesn't show signs of food allergies or other intolerances. Rotating foods/diets will allow your dog to experience the benefits of various ingredients while providing a lifetime of balance in essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Choose a food manufacturer that meets AAFCO standards and is known for quality well sourced ingredients and produced in a quality- controlled manufacturing facility.
A maintenance diet does not have to be grain-free or contain "novel" ingredients. A quality maintenance food of more traditional ingredients may very well suit the needs of your dog and may be more economical for you also. (Fromm Gold, 4-Star, Best Breed, Nutrisource.)
The recent FDA report states "different dogs have different nutritional needs based on a number of factors, so nutritional advice is not one-size-fits-all." The FDA recommends consulting your veterinarian for personalized advice about what to feed your dog. It's important to note that in the FDA report affected dogs included those that have eaten grain-free and but also those eating grain containing foods. Some were on vegetarian or vegan formulations also. All forms of these diets: kibble, canned, raw and home-cooked were represented in the report. This explains why we do not think these cases can be explained simply by whether they contain legumes or not, nor by brand or manufacturer. To put this issue into proper context, the American Veterinary Medical Association estimates that there are 77 million pet dogs in the United States. As of September 2020, the FDA reports that between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2020, 1100 case reports of diagnosed dilated cardiomyopathy in dogs.
If you are concerned about the diet you are currently feeding your dog, the FDA recommends "consulting with your veterinarian or a veterinary nutritionist to discuss the best and safest diet for you dog."
We opened the Village Pet Market in 2008 in response to the need for more wholesome choices in pet foods. The discovery of the toxin melamine in many prominently manufactured pet foods really upended the whole pet food industry. The limited choices in good quality maintenance foods and the high cost of "prescription diets" motivated us to help our clients find better choices at an affordable cost. At the time there were very limited options beyond Purina Dog Chow, Kibbles and Bits and Gravy Train unless you traveled to a specialty pet store. Most of these inferior diets included unsourced and unregulated ingredients from China, whole grain corn and starches, with unnamed animal protein sources, propylene glycol and other artificial ingredients. Many of our clients whose pets suffered from skin and digestive allergies found relief by switching to brands such as Fromm, Best Breed, Wellness and Zignature. Their pets were improving without the expense of prescription diets and medications. Now, years later, the pet food industry has exploded! The major name brands are trying to keep up with consumer demand for quality diets. We continue to use a common-sense approach for what we think will be the best for our pets and what to recommend for your pets as well. We rely on our own observations, research and reporting. We have stayed informed on the topic of nutritional- mediated dilated cardiomyopathy (NM DCM) by current reports, consulting a local veterinary cardiologist and contacts in the veterinary field. Presently, it is still very unclear as to the cause of dietary related DCM. Given the fact that we don't yet understand the relation between diet and this disease it may be prudent to reconsider your dog's diet until we know more. With the many choices in pet foods that are now available, switching to a food that is high in protein (cooked at low temperatures), inclusive of quality grains and a smaller ratio of legumes may be a precautionary measure. If you personally feel your dog is fine and wish to continue your present feeding program just be mindful of any of the signs of DCM or heart issue described earlier.
As a side note and for our cat loving friends, taurine deficiency is not overlooked. Taurine is a dietary essential amino acid for cats and has been linked to the feline version of DCM. Since 1987 the pet food industry has supplemented all forms of cat foods and virtually eliminated the disease in cats eating a reputable commercial diet. We caution those pet parents on home prepared diets or inferior cat foods regarding taurine deficiency.
If you have further questions, please ask, we'd love to continue the discussion! Dr. Wagner is available by appointment for those that would like to have any additional testing done. If you have any concerns that your pet is showing signs of DCM or any heart related illness, please call asap and schedule an appointment. Other food related questions can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com
Ear infections are common in dogs. Bacteria, yeast and accumulation of wax or hair are some of the more common causes. Ear infections are uncomfortable for pets and often have an offensive odor and discharge. Also note that ear infections may be an underlying sign of an animal with a food or other type of allergy. Regular ear cleaning at home with a natural product may help reduce the likelihood of infections and will help support the healing process when dealing with an ear infection once it occurs. After proper treatment the next line of defense is to address the diet. Some foods are high in sugars that will help to feed the bad bacteria or yeast within the ears. A switch to a better quality hypoallergenic diet will make a huge improvement. Sometimes these diets are also best when paired with supplements that help to support the overall immune system and health of the pet.
Excessive tearing creates the perfect condition for bacteria and yeast to grow in the warm and moist areas around the eyes. It is seen in dogs with lighter coats however it can be present in any dog or cat. Sometimes staining appears during a puppy's teething stage or as they mature and their tear ducts do not form properly. Excessive tearing may be caused by diet, allergens in the air, irritants such as eyelashes rubbing the eyes, genetic problems with tears ducts, or trauma to the eye itself. A proper diet improves the overall health of the animal and avoids the use of any artificial chemicals or dyes. Secondly, supporting an animal's immune system with either the use of probiotics or natural herbs will help bolster the pet's natural immune system. Additional steps such as good hygiene and keeping the eye area dry will help to avoid the perfect growing environment for the bacteria and yeast.
Fleas can infest even the healthiest dogs and cats. Watch your pet for some common signs of flea trouble: excessive scratching and biting the skin especially around the tail and lower back, signs of flea dirt and raw patches. Fleas are most commonly seen in summer and fall. There are several natural treatments that are alternatives to conventional flea products and chemical insecticides. Starting with a healthy diet to support a healthy immune system, along with a quality topical repellant such as neem oil and diatomaceous earth, are possible options for natural flea control. Don't forget that you also need to address your home and yard as well. Proper vacuuming and bathing of pets, etc. can help eliminate and avoid fleas all together. Quality natural products can add to your arsenal of flea defense especially in our pets that are sensitive to the chemical alternatives.
Don't underestimate the seriousness of flea infestation and the impact it can have on your pet's health.
As more pet owners learn about healthier foods, many are switching to more nutritious brands. However, a pet's digestive track may have grown accustomed to a certain formula and its protein and fat levels. Their good gut flora or "good beneficial bacteria" may not be able to support a new formula, protein, or fat level change too quickly. When transitioning to grain free foods with higher protein and fat levels, the change in diet alone can be enough to sometimes elicit diarrhea and gas as a short term result of the transition. It is recommended to always do a gradual 7 to 10 day transition period. If that is not possible or the pets have issues with the transition, look for products such as probiotics and digestive enzymes which help breakdown proteins. Adding a spoonful of pumpkin will add fiber to the stool. Both of these may be very beneficial during a time of transition. Also remember that a transition from a lower quality food can mean changes in the amount of food that is fed. Higher protein foods usually mean higher calories and feeding less kibble is necessary.
Important Action: Transition to a new food over 10 days. 3 days of ¾ old food and ¼ new food. 4 days of ½ old food and ½ new food. 3 days of ¼ old food and ¾ new food.
Sometimes, even when pet owners provide the best nutrition, the unexpected happens. Improper diets, transitioning too quickly onto another diet, new treats, viruses, parasites, and even stress and other outside influences such as eating something they shouldn't, can cause diarrhea. Chronic diarrhea can also be a symptom of more serious ailments and owners must monitor their pets and should consult with their veterinarian if the symptoms persist. There are times when the use of a limited ingredient diet or the addition of fiber in the form of pumpkin, for example, can help to create a more compact stool. If these do not work, there are several supplements such as probiotics or digestive enzymes that can be added to the diets. These can be used to establish proper gut flora that helps aid in breaking down the food, which can diminish the gas and diarrhea. Also consider a temporary change to a bland diet such as cooked chicken and rice for a few days to help remedy mild diarrhea. When transitioning to a higher protein diet from a high carbohydrate diet remember to adjust amount of kibble since typically less kibble is required with higher protein food. Overfeeding can result in gas issues.
Gluten is a protein composite, but not one that is found in meat or eggs. Gluten is found in wheat, rye, barley, corn and soy. Some pets have a difficult time digesting these grains with glutens and intolerances that often result in the following symptoms: dry skin, hair loss, and skin and ear infections. In addition, some pet owners themselves may have gluten intolerance such as celiac disease and need to be careful when handling certain pet foods. It is not always easy to identify every gluten source, however, looking for formulas that are more meat based or foods that avoid the use of the top gluten culprits, will help keep gluten sensitive pet parents and pets heading in the right direction.
Grain Free diets were created to simulate the diets that dogs and cats naturally ate in the wild, otherwise known as the "prey model diet". In the wild, dogs and cats ate higher levels of meats and few carbohydrates. Their diets consisted mostly of meat and plant matter (that is partially digested from their prey), and the addition of bones for sources of calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. By design, dogs and cats have a very short and highly acidic digestive tract that can break down meat more efficiently than carbohydrates. But, not all grain free diets are created equal. Grain free diets that contain higher levels of meat (always the first ingredient) and lower in carbohydrates better mirror "the prey model" diet. There have been many benefits with the introduction of the grain free diets: better allergy management, weight loss, fewer preventable diseases such as obesity and diabetes, better muscle mass, stronger immune systems, increased palatability and better options for picky eaters. Dr. Wagner recommends a grain free diet especially for our cat friends.
A hot spot is a localized area of inflamed and infected skin. These common skin lesions are usually caused (and made worse) by biting, licking, or scratching. Also known as "Summer Sores" (because they are more common in a hot humid environment) they can appear anywhere on a dogs body and the area can rapidly spread. Dogs that are prone to allergies also tend to get hot spots more commonly than non-allergic dogs. Better quality diets lead to better health and skin and coat condition. With allergic dogs and cats, finding what can trigger the food allergy or intolerance and then eliminating it by using novel proteins or eliminating grains may help. In additional, natural topical remedies may promote faster healing and soothing of the skin.
Joint pain in dogs and cats may be caused by a number of issues including congenital defects, injuries, abnormal joint development, infections, autoimmune –related diseases, repeated stress, excess weight, age and poor diet. The body naturally protects itself with joint building blocks such as glucosamine and chondroitin. These building blocks are naturally produced in healthy joints but when the joints and damaged they sometimes don't create enough naturally for the body to properly repair itself. Utilizing select herbs can help to work in several ways such as: increasing circulation to the joints and muscles by decreasing inflammation or by giving the body adequate amounts of supplementation to help allow the body to repair the affected joints. Ingredients such as yucca, black cohosh, cayenne, MSM, turmeric, ginger, devil's claw, alfalfa, vitamin C, nettle, and celery seed have proven to be helpful.
Urinary tract issues vary tremendously. They can be caused by age, ingesting toxins, cancer, genetic predisposition, parasites, stress, stones and trauma just to name a few. Symptoms include: drinking excess water, frequent urination, straining to urinate, urinating in inappropriate locations, incontinence, whimpering during urination, blood in the urine or excessive strong odor of the urine. Commonly the terms "stones and crystals" are often associated with bladder infections. The range of treatments in addressing the wide variety of stones and crystals is so varied that they could not be adequately covered in this brief paragraph. As with many health concerns it is best to consult your veterinarian to rule out serious medical conditions. Generally, when dealing with stones, adding moisture to the diet will help flush the bladder. Also other natural products like cranberry can keep the bacteria from being able to establish an infection of the bladder. The addition of probiotics into the diet also can keep the bad bacteria in check by not allowing the possibility of bacterial infections. To add moisture to the diets, look for foods that have to be reconstitute with water(freeze dried), frozen raw complete diets or any can diet that will naturally introduce moisture into the diet. Avoid fish based diets in cats and choose proteins such as chicken, beef, turkey, rabbit and lamb.
Pet water fountains and/or placing multiple bowls of fresh water around the house is recommended as well.
An easy way to determine if your dog or cat is overweight is by feeling and looking. You should be able to feel the ribs, spine and pelvic bones and the front of the chest should not look round when viewed from the side. Excess weight carries great risk to your pets, and can lead to many health related problems including: diabetes, increased risk of cancer, damage to joints, bones, and ligaments, decreased stamina, heat intolerance and the reduction of the quality and length of life. A healthy solution for your overweight pets should include regular exercise and a natural healthy food that is higher in quality proteins and lower in carbohydrates and fat. It is important to determine the correct feeding portions based on your pets "ideal" body weight and activity level. Remember that if the dog weighs 70lbs but should ideally weigh 50lbs, feed your pet as if he or she is a 50lbs dog, and not currently at the 70lbs weight. Also, feeding two or more times daily verses once will allow a pet's metabolism to be at its peak burning rate all day. Don't forget to make sure to select healthy treats or limit/ eliminate treats. Other suggestions include: adding fiber like pumpkin to the diet as a substitution for a portion of the kibble. This makes the pets feel "full" while eliminating some of the calories from the kibble. Products such as slow feeder bowls or Busy Buddy toys can be helpful for pets that eat too quickly.
It is estimated that canine liver disease is among the top 5 causes of canine death. The liver provides many important roles including: blood detoxification, bile production to aid in digestion and waste removal for the body. Many things can cause liver damage such as: genetics, ingested toxins, auto-immune diseases, or bacterial infections. The pancreas is a glandular organ that is responsible for secreting enzymes that are needed to break down and digest food. When pets have bouts with "Pancreatitis" it simply means that the enzymes are released internally to the pancreas and they begin to digest the pancreas itself which causes pain and inflammation in the pet's abdomen. Pancreatitis tends to be more commonly seen in middle-age to older dogs and dogs that are overweight and inactive. Symptoms may include frothy green vomit, pain when touching abdomen and positioning the bodies in the "prayer position" front legs down rear end up (this helps relieve pain). Common triggers: "dumpster diving" or ingesting high fatty foods, genetic predisposition (i.e. King Charles Spaniels), the overuse of steroids, ingesting of toxins, trauma to the pancreas or diseases such as diabetes that all can lead to pancreatitis. With liver disease and pancreatitis, after proper medical care, it is recommended to slowly introduce these dogs back to good quality proteins in moderate proportions accompanied with higher carbohydrates and lower fats.
Puppies are different from adult dogs and will vary from breed to breed. There are several products that assist in the successful raising of a healthy and well adjusted new pup. (Note: a normal 2 lb to 20 lb adult dog is considered a puppy until roughly one year of age verses a large breed or giant breed dog that is considered a puppy until roughly two years.) All puppies should be feed at least 3 times daily. Large breeds may do better with 4 to 5 small meals per day. Large breeds will do best with modest portions throughout the day to maintain good growth but not excessive growth. For large breed puppies, limiting the amounts of calcium and phosphorus may help ensure that they do not grow too big or too quickly and have joint issues later in life.
A raw diet reflects what our pets ancestors ate in the wild for thousands of years. A balanced raw diet will match a pet's biological need and allows their digestive tract to perform as nature intended it to do. Some of the benefits of raw diets include: shinier coats, healthier skin, fresher breath/cleaner teeth, improved digestion, reduced allergy symptoms, decreased shedding, increased stamina and firmer smaller stools. Raw diets offer higher levels of digestive enzymes. With the convenience and safety of freeze dried and dehydrated raw food, we recommend this form and stock regularly in the store. This form of food decreases the risk for pet owners to be exposed to bacteria such as e.coli and provides convenience when traveling or boarding your pet at kennels. Frozen raw foods are available and can be an option for those that are interested in pursuing a raw diet, especially beneficial for those pets with health problems or special dietary needs.
As pets age, just like humans, their bodies can go through many changes. Some of the more common changes are: painful or arthritic joints, slower digestive tracts and weight gain. As pets live longer lives, an increase in their dietary protein levels help maintain long lean muscles and help prevent muscle wasting which can cause further joint issues. There is no specific definition of "senior" and can vary considerably based on the breed and size. Larger breeds may require a joint supplement while smaller, inactive dogs could benefit from more exercise, decreased calories and increased fiber. Looking for foods and supplements that address your pet's specific needs as a senior is important. As always, begin by focusing on their nutrition. Find a good quality diet and encourage regular exercise. Once you have established a good quality diet (some even have high levels of naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin) you can look for supplementation that can be given as treats or added to the food.
Skin and coat problems come in a variety of forms and may cause your pet to experience itchy, red, irritated skin that can result in hair loss, hot spots, dull, flaky or greasy coats. These problems can be caused by medical conditions, environmental irritations, nutritional deficiencies, parasites, allergies or poor grooming. You can help improve the skin and coat condition by feeding your dog a meat based food with high quality ingredients. Wheat, corn and soy are common allergens and should be eliminated from the diet. Supplements and oils that provide balanced Omega 3's and Omega 6's, as well as herbs that support the coat and immune system are another helpful solution.
Nearly all pets will at some point experience vomiting, gas, diarrhea, loose stool, fatigue, appetite loss, nausea, stomach distension due to a host of reasons. Commonly we see these with a quick transition onto a new diet or introducing a pet into a stressful situation. Other factors such as pollutants, bacteria or viruses can also cause stomach issues. The best way to deal with many of these conditions is to consistently feed a quality diet, possibly containing probiotics(beneficial "friendly" bacteria) these occur naturally in your pet's intestine and help aid in digestion. Additionally, look for foods or supplements that contain "'prebiotics" which are food sources for friendly bacteria. By nourishing the good bacteria, you help reduce the potential for the harmful bacteria in the gut flora to take hold and cause havoc. There are several products on the market which can help directly with occasional gas and diarrhea and work very effectively. Digestive enzymes and pumpkin can be added to the diet to help bulk up the stool or eliminate gas all together. As always, if your pet experiences any condition that is not resolving, seek the advice of your veterinarian.
A pet with an ideal weight has ribs that you can feel and slightly see, but are not protruding. A pet that is too thin has ribs and spinal bones very palpable, both easy to see and feel. If a pet is underweight for too long, they may have less energy and lead to other health issues. The underweight condition could have different causes such as feeding quantities, inadequate fresh water, the quality of the pet food or more serious issues such as parasites, malabsorption issues, metabolism issues or possible other chronic disease or ailments. Pet owners should monitor their pets and consult with their veterinarian in order to rule out serious medical conditions. Feeding a more palatable food that is higher in protein and fat may help to increase the weight and muscle mass while slowly adding more calories. Feeding your adult pet at least two times a day helps to balance their intake and will help to aid digestion and absorption from their intestines.

Maryland leaving ACC to join Big Ten in 2014
Published 8:52 am Tuesday, November 20, 2012
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) — Choosing to look toward the future rather than honor the past, Maryland joined the Big Ten on Monday, bolting from the Atlantic Coast Conference in a move driven by the school's budget woes.
Maryland was a charter member of the ACC, which was founded in 1953. Tradition and history, however, were not as important to school President Wallace D. Loh as the opportunity to be linked with the prosperous Big Ten.
"By being a member of the Big Ten Conference, we are able to ensure financially stability for Maryland athletics for decades to come," Loh said, speaking at a news conference with Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany and Athletic Director Kevin Anderson.
Loh and other school officials involved in the decision decided that the potential money to be made in the Big Ten was more significant than the $50 million exit fee and the tradition associated with belonging to the same conference for 59 years.
"I am very aware that for many of our Terps fans and alumni, their reaction is stunned and disappointed. But we will always cherish the memories, the rivalries, the tradition of the ACC," Loh said. "For those alumni and Terp fans, I will now say this: I made this decision as best as I could … to do what is best for the University of Maryland for the long haul."
Maryland eliminated seven sports programs earlier this year, and Loh said the shift to the Big Ten could provide enough of a windfall to restore some of those sports.
Delany said Maryland's entry was approved unanimously by the conference's 12 presidents.
"Quite honestly, they were giddy," Delany said. "Maybe some people Fear the Turtle. We embrace the Turtle."
Maryland will become the southernmost member of the Big Ten member starting, in July 2014. Rutgers is expected follow suit by Tuesday, splitting from the Big East and making it an even 14 schools in the Big Ten, though Delany would not confirm that.
But he had no problem explaining why the Big Ten would be interested in stretching its boundaries from the Midwest.
"We realize that all of the major conferences are slightly outside of their footprint," Delany said. "We believe that the association is one that will benefit both of us."
For Maryland, the move was not entirely based on athletics. Maryland will join the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, a consortium of world-class research institutions.
"For me and for the board and for the faculty and for the students, the academic component is very, very important," Loh said. "I would not have made this kind of deal if it was a conference that did not have this consortium."
But money was really the driving force.
"Somebody has to pay the bills," Loh said. "I want to leave a legacy for decade to come, long after I'm gone, that no president is going to wonder if Maryland athletics as we know it is going to survive."
Besides, Loh noted, the ACC isn't exactly the cozy little group it was 59 years ago. Notre Dame was recently added to the conference, though it will remain a football independent and play five games against ACC teams.
"The world of the ACC as we have known it has changed, and the job of the president is not just to look at the past and the present, but to look to the future," Loh said.
Loh said the discussions between Maryland and the Big Ten gathered steam two weeks ago. On Saturday, it became clear the discussions were serious.
"Space is not the divide that it was once upon a time," Delany said.
Maryland gives the Big Ten a presence in the major media market of Washington. D.C. Rutgers, in New Brunswick, N.J., and about 40 miles south of New York City, puts the Big Ten in the country's largest media market, and most heavily populated area.
Delany said demographics were a huge part of this decision. The population is not growing as quickly in the Big Ten's current Midwestern footprint as it is in other areas of the country, and it has hampered the Big Ten's ability to recruit, especially in football, its signature sport. The Big Ten felt it needed to change that.
"We think demographics have fueled our growth the last 100 years," Delany told the AP in an interview before the news conference. "…What we're doing is not creating a new paradigm, we're responding to a new paradigm but for very kind of historic reasons. We understand that success requires a dynamic involvement with rich demographics."
For both schools, the move should come with long-term financial gain. The Big Ten reportedly paid its members $24.6 million in shared television and media rights revenues this year.
There will be some financial matters to resolve in the short term though. After the ACC added Notre Dame as a member in all sports but football and hockey in September, the league voted to raise the exit fee to $50 million. Maryland was one of two schools that voted against the increased exit fee.
Loh believes the potential financial gain of this deal will more than offset the sum.
"I say we have an arrangement within our membership that will assure the future of Maryland athletics for decades to come," he said. "As we crunched those numbers, we are able to deal with this issue."
The Big East's exit fee is $10 million, but the league also requires a 27-month notification period for departing members. That means Rutgers will not be able to join the Big Ten until 2015 without working out some kind of deal with the Big East.
Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia have all negotiated early withdrawals from the Big East in the past year.
The ACC could now be in the market for another member and it would not be surprising if it looks to the Big East, yet again. Connecticut would seem a perfect fit after Pitt and Syracuse join next season.
The Big Ten added Nebraska in 2010 to go to 12 members, and Delany had given every indication that the conference was happy to stay at that number. The conference had given no indication it was in the expansion market, and not until the last few days did it come to light, surprising many in intercollegiate athletics.
The question now is whether this sparks more realignment from conferences that weren't even affected.
For now, though, Maryland is the latest school to forsake tradition for a financial windfall. The Terps have mostly been a middling football program for several decades, but Anderson is certain that the additional money will help.
"We believe that with recruiting, and the continued improvement of the team, we will take on the Big Ten and be very competitive," Anderson said.

While Princeton remains fully committed to its financial aid program and other high-priority initiatives, the current economic downturn has reduced the value of the University's endowment and has led officials to adjust future spending projections, President Shirley M. Tilghman told members of the campus community in a Jan. 8 letter.
Tilghman noted that, through Oct. 31, the University's endowment had declined by 11 percent during this fiscal year and that officials are planning for the possibility of a 25 percent decline by the conclusion of the fiscal year on June 30. In her letter, she detailed projections for how the economic turbulence will affect the University's operating budget, faculty and staff recruitment and compensation, and capital planning.
Tilghman stressed that Princeton remains committed to meeting the full financial need of students who qualify for aid. She said that the Priorities Committee will recommend the lowest percentage increase since 1966 in undergraduate tuition and fees for 2009-10 -- 2.9 percent -- in recognition of the impact of the financial downturn on tuition-paying families. The committee also will recommend a 3 percent increase in graduate student stipends and that the largest percentage increases in faculty and staff salaries for next year should be directed to the University's lowest-paid employees.
"Fortunately, Princeton planned conservatively during the good years, knowing full well that markets go down as well as up," Tilghman wrote. "Though this year's downturn is deeper than what anyone could have imagined, Princeton will be able to protect its key assets. Foremost among these is our human capital -- the students, faculty and staff who are the vital heart of a great scholarly enterprise."
Endowment spending
Tilghman said that the current value of the endowment, which provides more than 45 percent of the University's operating revenue, is difficult to pinpoint. Values for nonmarketable investments, which make up more than half of the endowment portfolio, are reported only with lagged estimates until the end of each fiscal year.
"Although we cannot know what the next six months will bring, we believe it is prudent for the University to plan for the possibility that its endowment will have declined by 25 percent at the end of the fiscal year," she wrote.
Princeton's policy is to increase the endowment's contribution to the operating budget each year by 5 percent, as long as the amount is between 4.0 percent and 5.75 percent of the value of the endowment. The spending level is adjusted up or down if it falls outside of that range. On five occasions in the past 11 years the University has made special upward adjustments, and this year's spending rate is 4.76 percent.
"Looking ahead … a 25 percent decline in the value of the endowment would put our spending rate well above the upper limit of our range," Tilghman wrote. "To bring spending closer to the upper limit, we are planning to reduce the endowment's contribution to the University's general funds operating budget next year by $50 million. Even with this reduction, our spending rate would remain outside our target range, exceeding 6 percent, but we believe this spending level represents a measured response to the current economic climate."
Financial aid
One area where the University is not planning to make reductions is in financial aid. "We are completely committed to meeting the full financial need of the students who will be admitted this year, as well as currently enrolled students, some of whose families have already been affected by the recession," Tilghman wrote.
She noted that the University has met an unanticipated increase of some $5 million in demand for financial aid this year through gifts made during the 2008 Annual Giving campaign.
The University's Priorities Committee, a group of faculty, staff and students that recommends an operating budget each year, has proposed the 2.9 percent increase in the undergraduate tuition and fee package for 2009-10, which will be acted on by the trustees at their Jan. 24 meeting. The increase will not affect any student on financial aid, since the undergraduate scholarship budget also will be increased. Next year's undergraduate financial aid expenditure is expected to increase by $12 million, or 13 percent, over this year's budgeted amount.
Compensation and hiring
The committee also is recommending the 3 percent increase in graduate student stipends and the policy on faculty and staff salary increases. Tilghman noted in her letter that the maximum increases next year for tenured faculty and the highest-compensated staff will be capped at $2,000.
Tilghman also announced several other measures regarding faculty and staff employment:
- Searches for new faculty already authorized may continue, but any new requests to initiate or reopen searches will be reviewed by Dean of the Faculty David Dobkin.
- Dobkin will work with academic units to minimize the number of visiting faculty and fellows who come to campus next year.
- New searches for term, temporary or regular staff members must be approved in advance by a review committee composed of Provost Christopher Eisgruber, Executive Vice President Mark Burstein and Vice President for Human Resources Lianne Sullivan-Crowley. The committee also will review the status of searches currently under way to determine if any can be delayed.
Capital and other planning
Tilghman said that additional areas slated for review include the University's 10-year capital plan as well as other aspects of operations.
As announced in late November, administrators have reduced the cost of the capital plan by more than $300 million by delaying construction on some projects and scaling back on others. Tilghman wrote in her letter that opportunities for additional savings will be sought, but that two major projects -- the new Butler College dormitories and the new chemistry building -- will be completed as planned.
"To ensure that we are poised to rebound rapidly when the economic climate improves, we will continue to design and seek public approvals for high priority projects such as the new home for the Lewis Center for the Arts, the new psychology and neuroscience buildings and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, but authorization to begin all construction and renovation projects will be made on a case-by-case basis, contingent on funding," she wrote. "The projects in the capital plan are critical to the future of the University, and we are hopeful that they will move forward as soon as economic conditions allow."
Finally, Tilghman announced that all nonpersonnel administrative budget allocations will be reduced by 5 percent in the 2010 fiscal year. In addition, departments with restricted endowed funds should plan for an 8 percent decrease in their annual allocations from these funds, she wrote.
A website that describes the cost-savings initiatives is available at www.princeton.edu/savings. There is a suggestion box on the website for those with ideas to share.
"I am confident that we will be able to call upon the ingenuity and competitiveness of the entire Princeton community to help us identify and deliver ways in which we can reduce non-essential costs," Tilghman wrote.
She noted that the University's five-year, $1.75 billion Aspire fundraising campaign, launched in November 2007, will continue on schedule. "The initiatives embodied within the campaign are the University's highest priorities, and I am thankful for the energy that Princeton's volunteers, donors and friends have brought to the achievement of these goals," she wrote. "A campaign is a marathon, not a sprint, and I remain very optimistic about the prospects for success."
She concluded her letter by encouraging members of the University community to continue to work together on planning creatively for the future. "While all of us would prefer a different set of challenges and a sunnier economic forecast, I am cheered by the commitment and spirit that the entire Princeton community has already shown in these difficult times," she wrote. "I cannot imagine a better group of partners with whom to approach the tasks ahead, and I very much look forward to working with all of you in the New Year."

We didn't make the list, and boy are we glad.
CNN and Fox News share the shame of the Poynter Institute's "error of the year" for mistakenly telling their audiences that the Supreme Court had struck down Obamacare.
In truth, the court had done the opposite.
Poynter dings both news outlets for being too quick to report. But it gives Fox an extra ding for not apologizing, as CNN did.
There's much more in Poynter's roundup, including some of the year's best corrections. Note: Some of the funniest involve some rather "adult" mistakes made by news outlets this year — for instance, The Charlotte Observer's unfortunate typo in a report about basketball player Amare Stoudemire's "herniated disk." We'll let your imaginations work on that one.

Occupational Hearing Protection
NIOSH recommends "all worker exposures to noise be controlled below a level equivalent to 85 dBA for eight hours to minimize occupational noise induced hearing loss." NIOSH also recommends "a 3 dBA exchange rate so that every increase by 3 dBA doubles the amount of the noise and halves the recommended amount of exposure time."
Loud, constant sounds all day long at work can cause long term hearing problems. Loud, sudden noises (gunfire, industrial noises, woodworking, motorcycles, loud music, motorized lawn equipment, noisy hobbies and other noises louder than 90 db) are more damaging to hearing than regular and extended exposure to loud sounds over a period of time.
NIOSH recommends a hearing loss prevention program that includes the use of hearing protection devices, periodic hearing tests and education for workers along with administrative controls that include accurate record keeping, evaluations and audits.
When properly fitted, earplugs can significantly reduce loud noises and prevent hearing damage and loss. Hearing protectors not properly fitted to the wearer's ears do not effectively prevent damaging noises from penetrating the ear canal.
Ear Protection for Law Enforcement
If you are involved in law enforcement you undoubtedly know how important your sense of hearing is to perform your job effectively. You may also have experienced a situation where firing your weapon has temporarily reduced your ability to hear. And if it hasn't already happened, there may be a future situation where your partner or a member of your team will be forced to fire their weapon in close proximity or in a confined area. The potential damage to your hearing could be severe and could result in irreversible hearing loss.
Ear Protection for Hunters and Recreational Shooters
As many as 50 percent of all recreational shooters may suffer some degree of hearing loss. It is generally thought that loud noises in excess of 90 decibels are harmful to hearing over prolonged exposure. Most gunfire exceeds 130 decibels and requires reliable, quality hearing protection. Using ear protection can prevent needless and permanent damage to hearing.
Hunting requires one to have the ability to hear very soft sounds, while still protecting the ear from the peak noise levels of a shotgun blast. Fortunately, hunters have many options for protection. Not only can they choose from custom or over-the-counter ear plugs or earmuffs, they can also choose protection devices that provide amplification while reducing the sounds of gunfire down to a safe level.
Electronic earplugs enhance the sounds around you. For example, you can hear game movement but also reduce impulse sounds (such as gunfire) down to a safe level. This helps prevent damage to your hearing. Electronic earplugs are available in custom molds as well as standard, less expensive alternatives.
Hearing Protection for Musicians
Professional musicians work in a high decibel environment in which hearing loss, tinnitus, hypersensitivity to sound and sound distortion can result.
Traditional earplugs will not work for the professional musician, as they reduce sound by muffling low-to-mid-range frequencies. Custom musicians ear molds are available that can protect the musician's ears from loud sounds without distorting what they hear. There are also a variety of 'in ear monitors' that will enhance the music experience whether you are a serious musician or just a music aficionado. Many other products are also available that will enhance the music experience.

If you have pets, you already know that along with all the fun-loving excitement they bring to your life, owning a pet also comes with a few drawbacks. Pets are notoriously messy, and they can wreak havoc on your home?s floors. Vinyl flooring can be a practical and affordable flooring solution to keep you and your four-legged friends happy. Take a look through the benefits of vinyl flooring, and learn how to shop for it.
The Benefits of Vinyl
First and foremost, families with pets need flooring that is easy to clean. Vinyl is one of the easiest flooring products to keep looking fresh, even with the messiest of critters. If Fido or Whiskers tracks mud across the floor, a damp mop quickly erases the prints while fur, litter or kibble can be easily swept or vacuumed away.
For those unpleasant ?accidents? pets are occasionally prone to, vinyl can be thoroughly cleaned with warm soapy water. And best of all, vinyl won?t stain or absorb odors, so once cleaned, those accidents can be completely forgotten?and forgiven.
Does your cat like to play in the water bowl? Does your dog slurp and splash when it drinks? Spills and splashes can permanently damage some flooring, but vinyl wipes up quickly and looks none the worse for the wear.
Vinyl is softer underfoot in comparison to many other flooring options, making it more comfortable for pets that spend a great deal of time on the floor. It is also less slippery than ceramic tiles, so pets don?t slide or scamper for traction as often.
How to Shop for Vinyl
Not all vinyl products are created equal, and generally speaking, you get what you pay for. Vinyl flooring comes in both traditional sheet and planks or tiles that click together, often called luxury vinyl tile (LVT). Vinyl sheet tends to be less expensive, but it also tends to be less durable.
It is most important to look for a vinyl product that is waterproof when shopping for a home with pets. While all vinyl flooring is water resistant, not all is waterproof. Vulnerable at the seams, vinyl flooring may allow liquids to seep through to the subfloor, potentially causing damage and leaving perpetual odors.
However, waterproof vinyl flooring traps liquid on the surface where it can be thoroughly removed, protecting your subfloor and eliminating unwanted odors.
Vinyl can also be vulnerable to scratches and peeling. Vinyl flooring has a protective coating often called the wear layer. The thicker the wear layer, the better the flooring will stand up to daily wear and tear, especially when it comes to your critters? claws.
Wear layers are also made of different materials, which can handle varying levels of abuse. A vinyl no-wax coating tolerates only light use, while urethane endures normal to heavy use, and enhanced urethane stands up to the heaviest residential use.
Another tip for buying vinyl durable enough to withstand daily life with pets is to look for thicker vinyl. In general, the thicker the vinyl flooring, the longer it will last.
If your furry friend is a dainty Chihuahua or a nine-pound cat with neatly trimmed nails, you may not need to worry about heavy-duty vinyl with a premium wear layer, but if your family includes a 150-pound mastiff, you?ll want to go for the most durable vinyl products available.
No matter your pet, vinyl is an excellent choice for keeping your home clean and your entire family happy.

Origin & History
Fossil evidence shows that roses have existed since prehistoric times. The first cultivated roses appeared in Asian gardens more than 5,000 years ago. Roses were introduced to Europe during the Roman Empire, where they were mainly used for ornamental purposes. Cleopatra is said to have scattered rose petals before Mark Anthony's feet; Nero released roses from the ceiling during extravagant feasts and banquets.
Sentiment & Symbolism
Roses, it is said, blushed with shame as God expelled Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. According to Roman legend, a number of suitors were keen on marrying a beautiful woman named Rodanthe, but she did not care for any of them. Despite her ambivalence, the suitors continued to woo Rodanthe so zealously that they broke through the doors of her home. Angered by their actions and wanting to teach the suitors a lesson, the goddess Diana turned Rodanthe into a rose, and her suitors into thorns.
The rose is the flower emblem of England. According to English superstition, if the petals fall from a fresh-cut red rose, bad luck will soon follow. The red rose is the badge of the House of Lancaster and the flower of Eros and Cupid. In Wales, the white rose represents innocence and silence, and is thus placed on the grave of a young child. To Native Americans, the white rose symbolizes security and happiness, and is often worn during wedding ceremonies. The white rose is the badge of the House of York and the flower of the Virgin Mary.
Color Messages
Exquisite and radiant, the rose is the principal messenger of love. A single rose denotes perpetual love; two roses of any color taped or wired together signify a commitment or forthcoming marriage.
Single Color Meanings
- Red roses of any hue say "I love you"; deep red roses imply unconscious beauty.
- White roses signify spiritual love and purity; bridal white means happy love.
- Today, yellow roses signify joy and gladness; historically, they meant a decrease of love and infidelity.
- Coral roses imply desire; orange say "I am fascinated and enthusiastic."
- Lavender roses mean love at first sight
- Light pink roses imply grace, gentility and admiration; dark pink roses say "thank you."
- In general, pale-colored roses signify friendship.
Combined Color Meanings:
- Red and yellow roses mixed together say "Congratulations!"
- Yellow and orange roses together imply passionate thoughts.
- Red and white roses signify unity.

Periodontal (gum) disease is insidious. It is an infection of the gums that starts out as plaque, an opaque film on the teeth that hardens to form tartar. As tartar accumulates, it harbors bacteria that attack the soft tissue around the gums. This is the early stage of gum disease known as Gingivitis. Left untreated, Gingivitis becomes Periodontitis which ultimately destroys the tissue surrounding your teeth AND the bone that holds your teeth in place. Except for bad breath and gums that bleed, there are very few early warning signals. The disease advances silently, often without pain, and before you know it, you are losing your teeth and you don't know why.
Tooth loss is only the most obvious indicator of gum disease. Scientific research has discovered linkage between gum disease and stroke, heart disease, diabetes - even an increased risk for pregnant women. When your gums become diseased, your entire immune system is weakened.
In the past, fear of painful dental surgery has kept people with gum disease from seeking the care they needed. Well, those days are gone forever.

The starting point of the exhibition chapter Moving Away is Marcel Breuer's collage ein bauhaus-film. fünf jahre lang (a bauhaus film. five years long), published in 1926 in the first issue of the bauhaus journal. Breuer's "filmstrip" presents the development of his chair design, from handcrafted object to industrial prototype, toward a future in which the designed object has become obsolete. Moving Away examines how Bauhaus debates on design evolved during the first half of the 20th century and how they changed subsequently in relation to different social and geographic contexts. Featuring case studies from the Soviet Union, India, China, Taiwan, North Korea and Nigeria, Moving Away explores through archival research and commissioned artworks how the Bauhaus evolved through its entanglement with social, cultural and political exigencies.
Early in the 1930s, the growing power of the National Socialist Party in Germany led numerous Bauhaus teachers and students to emigrate. Moving Away looks at how Bauhaus design concepts and standards (and the social presuppositions which informed them) were received and altered in the course of being applied to other societies. Due to his solidarity with the communist student union, the second Bauhaus director Hannes Meyer was dismissed from his post in August of 1930—through the machinations of right-wing political forces in Dessau. Having applied to the Soviet embassy for a visa to Moscow, Meyer departed for the Soviet Union in the fall of 1930, followed by seven of his former students: many of them would subsequently fall victim to Stalin's "War Communism." The possibility of realizing avant-garde cities on a previously unimagined scale in the rapidly industrializing Soviet state soon came into conflict with the official doctrine of socialist realism. The geopolitical storms generated by Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini's seizure of power, also became evident at the fourth meeting of the Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) in 1933, where Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier and other CIAM members debated urban planning and the formation of "The Functional City."
In the United States, where Gropius emigrated in 1937, the Bauhaus would come to stand for freedom and democracy. Gropius taught many international students at Harvard, including Chinese architects Henry Huang and Ieoh Ming Pei. Through these contacts he began to question modernism's universal principles. Confronted by ideas about Asian landscape architecture which he initially rejected in the course of a collaboration with Pei, Gropius came to understand how Asian spatial concepts and vernacular traditions might greatly improve modernist architecture.
The ideas of the Bauhaus were also formative to the curriculum of India's National Institute of Design (NID), whose founding was based in large part on Indian designers and educators' interactions with teachers from the Hochschule für Gestaltung (HfG, School of Design) in Ulm. Founded in 1961 as part of the Indian government's strategy to improve the nation's standard of living, its curriculum was oriented around the idea that industrial design could act as a development tool and catalyst for economic growth, with designers utilizing the technical knowledge accumulated on the subcontinent over millennia in order to serve the needs of a non-affluent, mostly rural population. The end of the Second World War, the emergence of independence movements agitating to end colonial rule and the subsequent emergence of a counter-hegemonic block through the formation of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War influenced design policy, including campus architecture. This is apparent in the architecture of University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU), designed on behalf of Western Nigeria's first post-independence national government by a team led by the Israeli Bauhaus-educated architect Arieh Sharon between the early 1960s and 1980s. Today, the OAU still occupies the same physical plant originally designed for it by Sharon and his colleagues. Between 2018 and 2019
Moving Away was realized with the China Design Museum (Hangzhou), the Garage-Museum for Contemporary Art (Moscow) and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (Berlin), in cooperation with Suchitra Balasubrahmanyan (New Dehli), Tatiana Efrussi (Moscow), Thomas Flierl (Berlin), Anja Guttenberger (Berlin), Eduard Kögel (Berlin), Daniel Talesnik (Santiago de Chile/Munich), Gao Yuan and Zoe Zhang (Hangzhou).

by June Hersh, Ask The Kosher Carnivore Columnist
There's a simple parable that I retold in my fist book Recipes Remembered, a Celebration of Survival. I find it so true and illustrative of what I love most about my favorite winter–time comfort food – Soup.
In a small shtetl in Poland, the people were struggling and food was scarce. A soldier marched into the tiny village, hungry and tired and asked for something to eat. The townspeople told him of their plight and he re-assured them that he could make a delicious soup from a stone. He dropped a stone into a pot of boiling water, and a crowd began to gather. They were skeptical, but the soldier assured them of a rich broth; so they waited with great anticipation to taste the soup. He encouraged the villagers to contribute small offerings from their gardens and farms. Soon the villagers began tossing in bits of cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, onions and potatoes. Some threw in pieces of beef, turkey and chicken as the soldier encouraged them and told them how delicious the soup would taste. By the time the entire village gathered to watch, the pot was filled with every vegetable grown in that small town and every cut of meat the butcher could find. Hand rolled dumplings and homemade noodles filled the pot and the aroma was splendid. The finished soup had an intense color and flavor and the villagers and the soldiers enjoyed a wonderful meal.
While the moral of this tale might be that when people come together they can create magic, it is also a culinary lesson in soup 101. To make a great soup you need a big pot, fresh ingredients and time. Whether you start with a beef, chicken or vegetarian base (that's right, the Kosher Carnivore used the V-word), soup is an amalgamation of wonderful ingredients coming together to create something hearty and satisfying. Pair it with a salad and crusty bread and you have comfort in a bowl.
Here are a few of my soup how–to tips and favorite recipes. I hope they feed your body and soul on those inevitable cold winter nights; fire in the fireplace and furry slippers, optional.
Soup 101
1. Don't overlook H20. Good cold water is the basis for just about any soup. Whether you are whipping up a chicken or beef stock, simmering lentils or boiling barley, cold water and just about any vegetable or protein can create soup.
2. Just as your bones provide the structure for your body, they also provide the structure for soup. The gelatin in the bones gives soup added texture and flavor, they enrich the stock and embolden the taste. When breaking down a chicken or finishing off a roast, save those bones to add to your next batch of soup.
3. If they grow in the garden together, they will play nicely in your stockpot. Don't be afraid to pair different aromatics, cabbage and fennel, carrots and salsify, celeriac and potatoes go as well as peanut butter and jelly when tossed into a stock pot. Buy those veggies that are seasonal and local, your soup will thank you.
4. Nothing in your kitchen should boil except water, so when preparing soup, turn the heat up just to bring everything to a boil and then reduce the temp to simmer. Simmering slowly coaxes the flavors to meld, while boiling hits them over the head.
5. When it comes to stockpots, size does matter. You want the height and diameter to be equal to mitigate evaporation when slow cooking. And that lid that comes with the stockpot, don't always assume it's better to trap the heat. When making stock (see the complete section in The Kosher Carnivore for preparing stock) it's necessary to leave the lid off so that water slowly escapes from your pot and concentrates the stock's flavor.
6. Choosing the right meat for soup is as easy as a first date. Go cheap. Chicken wings and backs work great in a chicken stock, shin bones and oxtails are delicious for a rich beefy taste and turkey giblets and frames are wonderful to add depth of flavor. Save your fancy cuts for the main course, soup is all about keeping it simple.
7. Consider condiments. Finishing a bowl of soup before serving with a pinch of sea salt, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or aged balsamic, or a sprinkling of fresh herbs is perfect. Some flavors cook out when added too early, but a finishing touch lingers on the tongue and enhances the soup.
Here are three recipes with different origins and flavor profiles. When making soup, the recipe is the basis, but your cupboard and fridge are your inspiration. Toss it in and see where the ingredients lead you – I promise it will be delicious.
Grandma Rose's Schi – Russian Cabbage Soup: There are dishes that transport all of us back in time. Maybe an aroma that fires up a memory or a taste so singular that you know exactly the time and place you first experienced it. For me, one of those immutable memories is cabbage soup.
Gruenkern Soup with Mini Turkey Meatballs: When working on Recipes Remembered "my" survivors talked about a very popular German ingredient called gruenkern.It was a staple in their cooking and I wanted to incorporate it into a dish.
Beef and Barley Soup: This iconic American dish walks a fine line between a soup and a stew. Thick and rich, laden with beef bits, chewy mushrooms and tender pearl barley this soup is a meal in itself.
