Trader Joe's Uncured Bacon JamPosted: April 22, 2016 Filed under: Trader Joe's Brand | Tags: 3 stars, apple smoked, bacon, Condiments, jam, Trader Joe's 12 Comments
As I mentioned in my last post and as is, I suppose, self-evident, I've returned from my indefinite hiatus to write – you know –some more stuff about food or whatever.
|What it is:
|Sweet and tangy bacon spread.
|$4.49 for a 8.5 oz jar
|Worth it:
|Yes – if you like new flavors.
It may have been the dried whole baby bananas that stuck with me during my time away, but it was the numerous encouraging voices that checked in with my blog of out genuine concern that spurred me back into action. Well, that and one other thing – Trader Joe's Bacon Jam.
There are some challenges that simply must be risen to. By releasing Bacon Jam TJ's was practically daring me to return to blogging. After all, who else could possibly write off-beat, off-the-cuff, man-on-the-ground style articles with just a dash of snark? Who else, other than the numerous other Trader Joe's review blogs, some of which directly rip-off my website design? Obviously the world needed me.
When I see products like Trader Joe's Bacon Jam, I can't help but think that there's someone, somewhere in the high echelons of TJ's who is compelled by a Joker-style urge to unmake the order of the world. Only instead of throwing bombs, his tool is novel food products – and he wields that tool like a hammer against the glassine walls of reality. If you wanted to break down the shared consensus of what is logical and what is madness, you could do worse than mass producing products like Trader Joe's pumpkin-spiced pumpkin seeds, pickle popcorn, dehydrated kimchi, etc.
Add to that list Trader Joe's Bacon Jam. If I assigned myself the task of thinking up the most outlandish, bacon-food mashup up, I could work for hours (Bacon Candy? Bacon Beer? Bacon Pie?) and never have come to Bacon Jam. Incidentally, all the other things I came up with are actual, real products as well.
Of course, the same could have been said about cookie butter, and look where cookie butter is now, – ascended to Olympus to bathe us all in its warm, loving gaze. To be clear, Trader Joe's Bacon Jam is nowhere near the same caliber of delicious as cookie butter, but a sort of strange parallel does present itself. Cookie butter…bacon jam… we may have to face the very real possibility that Trader Joe's ideal target demographic is late career Elvis. It's now easier than ever for me to take two slices of bread and with a few easy moves make an unholy cookie butter and bacon jam sandwich. Deep fry that and throw on a white sequined suit and you're ready to die mysteriously on a toilet!
Actually the most surprising thing about bacon jam is that it isn't all that bad. In fact, it's a surprisingly edible and spreadable condiment. From the name you might expect it to be quite sweet, and while it certainly contains some sugar, this isn't a pork version of Smuckers. Instead, it's a vinegary and tangy spread with a mellow, apple-y sweetness. It immediately reminded me of that classic American recipe, green beans and bacon (or the similar recipe for spinach and bacon salad). This bacon "jam" has that same baked-in-vinegar taste that that the bacon dressings in those recipes have – it's just as if all that dressing was gathered up and packed in a jar for your convenience.
The result is as sort of quasi-congealed, spreadable bacon condiment that can add that meaty, zingy sort of taste to… well, whatever you want to put it on, I guess. What that is, exactly, is up to you. Trader Joe's makes the half-hearted suggestions of using it on burgers, BLTs and pizzas, although none of those struck me as killer app (-itizer…ha.) Like some of Trader Joe's other novel food creations, it might make an interesting addition to the cabinet, but fails to scratch any real itch.
The Breakdown
Would I Recommend It: Yes to the adventerous, no to the staid.
Would I Buy It Again: I can't think of a reason to.
Final Synopsis: Tangy, vinegary bacon spread. Not bad, but not really essential.
Trader Joe's Uncured Bacon Ganache BarPosted: July 21, 2015 Filed under: Trader Joe's Brand | Tags: 4 stars, bacon, Chocolate, dark chocolate, Trader Joe's 2 Comments
Some days I wander the aisles of Trader Joe's, vainly seeking for something that piques my interest, and sometimes Trader Joe's makes it easy. There was certainly no way in hell, for example, that I wasn't picking up Trader Joe's Uncured Bacon Ganache Bar. If there's such a thing as baiting the trap too richly, this is it – metaphorically and literally. We're talking about a bar of bold, 70% dark chocolate, injected full of chocolate cream sauce and infused with crispy bacon bits. The resulting trip is as delicious and intense as that description makes it sound.
|What it is:
|Dark chocolate bar, with ganache and bacon filling.
|$1.99 for a 3 0z. bar
|Worth it:
|Yes! An intensely delicious ride for cheap.
Not since Trader Joe's Sweet Srircha Bacon Jerky have I encountered a product name with such scene-stealing panache. Or ganache, as the case may be. Clearly Trader Joe's has seen what Chuao has been doing with their amazing candy and spice infused Firework bars, and decided they can one-up them at their own game.
The Uncured Bacon Ganache bar is, shockingly, exactly what it says it is. Starting with a rich, semi-sweet (read, "bitter") 70% dark chocolate, Trader Joe's has then piped each individual square full of syrupy caramel-and-chocolate-ganache mixture. This makes the candy bar decadent, but what really sets it apart are two things – the heavy touch of smoked salt, and the crunchy bits of bacon peppered throughout. The result is a tongue-top riot of deep bitter chocolate, super sweet caramel, and savory, tasty saltiness. In short, it's beautiful.
The success of the whole bar depends heavily on the intense ganache filling. I have to admit that despite hearing the word almost constantly nowadays, I didn't exactly know what a "ganache" was. In it's basic form, it's just dark chocolate mixed with cream to create a velvety chocolate sauce. Again, that's in its basic form. Trader Joe's modifies their ganache so dramatically that it probably doesn't deserve the name any more. In addition to the melted chocolate and cream, TJ's adds a healthy dose of pure, and unheralded, caramel that really ups the sweetness factor.
The real star, however, is the alder smoked salt. Rather than dusting the bar with salt, like they've done with their recent dark chocolate and sea salt offerings, the salt seems to be mixed into the ganache itself. The result is a salty-caramel-chocolate syrup filling. Like we saw with Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt grahams, and their Milk Chocolate Jumbles, a little sea salt and chocolate is a winning combination.
That equation adds up here too, where the salt content has be ramped way up and melted into the candy itself. In fact, there's so much salt in the filling that it tastes more salty than sweet, at least at first blush. I actually liked this, because it balances out the darker, heavier tones of the dark chocolate, and also helps bring a little life to the bacon crumbles.
The bacon, by the way, needs all the help it can get. Despite top billing, the bacon doesn't make much of an impression in this bar. Its presence is limited to a sprinkling of small crumbles which are baked into the chocolate itself, rather than incorporated into the filling. Whatever savory or salty taste the bacon still has is overpowered by the intense dark chocolate and the saltier ganache. You'll mainly only notice these nubs as bits of texture, tough flecks of a vaguely meaty substance that show up from bite to bite. While they do lend a very subtle bacon flavor to the candy bar, there's not really enough to make much of an impact, and the bar would be just as good without it.
Underwhelming bacon performance aside, this is a fine fine chocolate bar. Taken alongside the new Firework Bar, it signals a delicious future for Trader Joe's chocolate aisle.
The Breakdown
Would I Recommend It: Yes, to lovers of intense chocolate everywhere.
Would I Buy It Again: Sure, once I've recuperated sufficiently from this one.
Final Synopsis: A tasty bar without much bacon, but more than enough caramel, salt and dark chocolate.
Trader Joe's Baconesque White Cheddar PopcornPosted: March 26, 2015 Filed under: Trader Joe's Brand | Tags: 3 stars, bacon, popcorn, Snacks, Trader Joe's Brand 1 Comment
It's hard to know what to say about Trader Joe's Baconesque White Cheddar Popcorn. It's unusual certainly – the most unusual popcorn I've had since Trader Joe's last weird popcorn experiment (or maybe the one before that) – but unusual in a very different way. This popcorn is, weirdly, exactly what it says – a vaguely bacon-y kind of popcorn. Not bacon popcorn, not popcorn with bacon bits, bacon flakes or even real bacon flavor, but a bacon-esque popcorn. Popcorn, in this case, that has been infused with a fake bacon smoke flavor. That fake bacon flavor is mingled with an intense white cheddar cheese powder results in a bizarre, slightly off-putting, but addictive snack.
I've written before on my opinion of bacon-mania. Although longer lasting than many of the food fads that have swept the nation, it stills shares the same quality of food fads everywhere – whether it be bacon vodka, or chocolate covered bacon, novelty comes first and quality is the afterthought. So when I see a new bacon gimmick on the self I'm immediately skeptical.
Does Trader Joe's Baconesque Popcorn actually qualify as bacon though? Kind of… but not really. Normally I'd criticize a product for something like that, but in this case that's what they're actually advertising right on the bag. They promise fake bacon flavor and they deliver fake bacon flavor – should they penalized for that, or just stared at agog? They make it abundantly clear that in lieu of real bacon or bacon flavoring you will be getting "natural smoke flavor". A psuedo-flavor that is sort of like putting your nose right above a sizzingly BBQ.
"Natural smoke flavor" is the same thing as "liquid smoke", which really is actually made from smoke. It's usually made by burning hickory or mesquite wood and capturing and concentrating the resulting smoke in a liquid medium. The resulting taste is a general sort of heavily-cooked meatiness. There isn't anything screamingly bacon-y about it, certainly nothing resembling the heady, savory tastes of Trader Joe's incredible Apple Smoked or Black Forest bacons. It tastes much more like these pieces of popcorn were mixed with a few heaping handfuls of Baco Bits – those hard, granuated bacon imitators people put on baked potatoes and what have you.
This strong and perplexing taste is combined with the equally strident taste of white cheddar – every bit as mouth blastingly cheesy as you would expect as if this popcorn was bright orange. The combination of extremely fake bacon flavor with extremely strong cheese flavor makes for one intense popcorn snack.
I personally found the roller coaster ride of flavors interesting enough to come back to bag more than once – although each time I limited myself to just a kernel or two. This would be extremely hard stuff to munch down like your standard movie theater popcorn. It's much better treated like a tin of sardines or a plate of olives – as an over the top flavor to be sampled in small quantities.
The Breakdown
Would I Recommend It: Probably not. The fake bacon taste is somewhat off putting.
Would I Buy It Again: I might, I like a snack that demands you muse on it rather than gobble it down.
Final Synopsis: Like cheesy popcorn with a bunch of Baco bits mixed in.
Trader Joe's Sweet Sriracha Uncured Bacon JerkyPosted: January 13, 2015 Filed under: Trader Joe's Brand | Tags: bacon, bacon jerky, five stars, glazed bacon, jerky, sriracha, Trader Joe's 3 Comments
Guys, you never know what you're going to get in this world. Case in point, Trader Joe's Sweet Sriracha Uncured Bacon Jerky. Just look at this stuff – it could so easily be the worst thing or the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, and there's simply no way to tell. I mean, let's just look at the name for a minute here. "Sweet Sriracha". Already we're in trouble. Sweet sriracha? Sweet? I've had some sriracha in my time, I've even reviewed Trader Joe's own take on sriracha, but I've never had sweet sriracha. We're two words in and I'm already completely out to sea.
Let's press on.
"Uncured Bacon Jerky". Alright, that didn't stick – let's try it again. "Uncured Bacon Jerky". Nope, nothing. I have no idea what that phrase means. Bacon jerky? Bacon? Jerky? Do they mean dehydrated pork slices? If so why don't they say "pig jerky" or "pork jerky". Do they actually mean dehydrated bacon slices? Isn't that just bacon? Isn't bacon already the crispy, salty, dehydrated form of bacon? What is going on here? Am I loosing my mind? There are no two words in the title I can put together and have them make sense.
Look, I could go on, but there's really no amount of words that are going to untangle this very confounding string of words. I guess we're just going to have to crack the bag open and have a taste. And you know what, folks? If you do that, you are going to be absolutely floored by one of the most delicious, most addictive, downright tongue delighting foods Trader Joe's has to offer. This bacon jerky is a sweet and spicy blast of terrifically chewy, sticky, bacon that you can eat straight from the bag and be delighted by the whole while.
Bacon jerky, by the way, is apparently a thing. It's when you take bacon and marinate it in a bit of savory spices. In this case, the spices are the incredibly addictive sweet sriracha sauce – basically Trader Joe's standard sriracah sauce, but toned down to a much milder level of hotness. Into this plenty of white sugar and honey have been mixed to make a sweet glaze with just enough fire to get your lips smacking.
The bacon itself is TJ's standard "no nitrate added" uncured bacon, and its served up here in long, thin strips that stick together in one big gooey pile. To quote Lays, I bet you can't eat just one. Bacon by itself is good enough, but add a sweet & spicy glaze to it, and you're talking about an unbeatable experience.
The only mark against it is the presentation which, in gooey bag form, is less than stellar. Even then, I couldn't keep my fingers from teasing off strip after strip and gobbling it down. If you happen to prefer something more refined, Trader Joe's suggests using it in place of regular bacon on your BLT, or crumbling it onto salads, or even over mac and cheese.
Really there's no way to go wrong with this stuff. These spicy, honeyed slices of portable, ready-to-eat bacon are winners from start to finish.
The Breakdown
Would I Recommend It: Not to orthodox Jews, but other than that yes across the board.
Would I Buy It Again: I'm not sure I would trust myself with another bag.
Final Synopsis: An evolution of the bacon experience that everyone should try!
Trader Joe's Uncured Bacon Ends and PiecesPosted: July 15, 2014 Filed under: Bacon, Meat, Trader Joe's Brand | Tags: 3 stars, applewood smoked, bacon 11 Comments
You've probably heard about the oncoming Breakfast Armageddon. Your traditional, western-style breakfast table of bacon and eggs – the hearty, workman-like breakfast of middle-class, middle America – is on an out of control roller coaster ride straight into the mouth of Hell. What I mean, of course, is that the cornerstones of breakfast – bacon and eggs – have seen unprecedented price spikes over the last 12 months (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics). Due to a conflux of calamities, including global drought and widespread swine pestilence, the price for a pound of bacon has jumped nearly 19% between May 2013 and May 2014.
Certainly I don't want to be accused of fear mongering, but according to the computer simulators here at EatingAtJoes.net, if this trend continues a pound of bacon will cost $572.38 by 2029, at which point it will be cheaper to just start eating human. At the risk of appearing hyperbolic, I absolutely urge you to smash down the doors of your nearest supermarket and steal as much bacon as you can carry this very second. That, or switch over to Trader Joe's Bacon Ends and Pieces!
I picked up this oblong little pack of scrunched up pork while weighing my grocery bill against the climbing price tag of Trader Joe's truly, truly delicious Applewood Smoked Bacon. I'm on the record as saying that the bacon fad long ago become tiresome, and am the foremost proponent calling for a period of bacon tumescence, say a decade or so, at which point we can all start eating it again and sticking it in vodka and whatever. That said, TJ's applewood smoked bacon makes me go weak in the knees when I smell it sizzling up in it's own, rich fat on the skillet.
It was this battle of my animal id against my budgetary superego that Trader Joe's so deftly diffused by producing their bacon ends and pieces.
As you can gather from the name, Trader Joe's Bacon Ends and Pieces are the assorted left over bits of bacon that they didn't see fit to package in their regular packs of Applewood Smoked Bacon. To a certain mindset, that means you're eating Trader Joe's trash, but don't think about that. Instead, focus on the deal! In exchange for choosing the bacon rejects, and forgoing the niceties of traditional packaging, you get 12 oz of delicious, nitrate-free, applewood smoked bacon for only two bucks and change, less than half the regular price.
What I was expecting from that price, and the smaller package, was a bunch of irregular chunks of varying thickness. I was surprised to find that this wasn't the case. On opening the pack, I discovered that the strips had been folded, but were otherwise the same size and shape as regular bacon. The big difference is in the fat/meat ration. While TJ's regular Applewood Smoked Bacon is more or less uniformly fatty, these bacon ends varied between 50% – 80% fat. Obviously, this isn't ideal. After all, I'm the yutz who usually buys turkey bacon. That said, a little carefully slicing with my kitchen knife before putting them in the pan left me with bacon that was as lean or leaner than what I normally get.
It's important to note, by the way, that your results may vary. The bacon ends and pieces are a grab bag by nature. The fattiness of the pieces, and their size, is likely to vary from package to package.
I'm sure there are those of you out there who fear picking these up lest they be branded by the stigma of poverty. After all, isn't this just poor people's bacon? Well – yes, maybe. But don't forget that what you're buying here is not just a breakfast substitute, but a raw ingredient with a long culinary tradition. There are things you can do with bacon ends and pieces that you can't do, or wouldn't want to do, with the neatly packaged kind. As the internet has exhaustively noted, the applications of bacon are limited only by your creativity, but in particular the higher fat content of the end pieces makes them perfect for dicing up and cooking in stews and soups, adding to green beans and baked beans, or any dish that you want to infuse with a rich, smokey hint of savory bacon.
For my part, I poured off the excess bacon fat, then cooked my eggs straight on the still glistening skillet – giving them that extra touch of delectable goodness. If you're happy with your bacon as is, by all means continue buying as usual. If, however, you're looking for relief from the rising cost of breakfast, or are looking for some fatty goodness to throw in the stock pot, this bacon gets the job done.
The Breakdown:
Would I Recommend Them: Yes, if you're not concerned about your fat intake.
Would I Buy Them Again: Yes for cooking projects, but they were too caloric for my everyday bacon.
Final Synopsis: Extremely delicious bacon, with more fat for less money.
Trader Joe's Uncured Black Forest BaconPosted: January 23, 2014 Filed under: Bacon, Meat, Trader Joe's Brand | Tags: bacon 1 Comment
Bacon week continues with Trader Joe's Uncured Black Forest Bacon!
This has been a banner week for me. The transition from a baconless existence to a world of delicious bacon has left me unnaturally giddy and elated. Not just one, but two different kinds of suberp, praise-worthy bacon have glorified my breakfast this week. Trader Joe's Uncured Apple Smoked Bacon we already covered, and by gum if you don't have some of this in your pantry already then I don't know what you're doing with your life. Today we take a look at Trader Joe's other delicious bacon – Black Forest Bacon.
Is the Black Forest bacon delicious? Absolutely – it's a nice thick cut of fatty, smoky, slightly sweet bacon that is almost too good for this earth. Is it better than the Apple Smoked Bacon? That's a trickier question. Where the applewood smoked bacon comes out the gate strong with plenty of razzle dazzle, Trader Joe's Uncured Black Forest Bacon offers a more sophisticated and nuanced bacon choice.
Tastewise, these bacons are playing quite different games. The apple smoked bacon has set out to dominate the world of smokey, strongly seasoned bacon and it has done exactly that. In a side by side taste test, I'd have to choose the the apple smoked bacon, no question. But real life isn't a taste test. When it comes to a bacon you're going to turn to every morning, you don't necessarily want the intense flavor and smokey aroma of the apple smoked bacon day after day. In the same way that you don't always turn to the maltiest beer, or the sweetest soda, Trader Joe's Black Forest Bacon provides a more nuanced alternative.
The taste of the black forest bacon is still as absolutely delicious as the apple smoked bacon, but plays up the "cured" side of bacon over the smoked side. You'll notice the rind of spices on each slice forms a sort of natural crust once cooked, almost like a honey baked ham, and the raw sugar in the rub gives this bacon just a hint of sweetness. The taste is overall much broader than the apple smoked bacon, a little sugary, a little smokey, and lots of rich meaty flavor.
Two other factors enter into the comparison: nutrition and price. The Black Forest Bacon is actually the healthier choice, despite the sugar rub, with 70 calories a slice, and 45 from fat. That's still 5 grams of fat per thick slice, but that's better than the 7 grams of fat in each apple smoked slice. Pricewise, Trader Joe's Black Forest Bacon is the more expensive option, $4.99 / 13 slice pack – a dollar more than the apple smoked variety.
Like the apple smoked bacon, the black forest bacon is also "uncured", meaning no sodium nitrate or commercial curing salts were used in the process – nothing but the natural nitrates found in sea salt and celery power.
The takeaway is, on the balance these bacons are equally good. If you're only an occasional bacon eater, the apple smoked version is probably the better choice – given it's bigger flavor and worse nutritional profile. If, on the other hand, you're snacking on bacon all the time, you might want to go with the more nuanced, and slightly healthier, black forest bacon.
The Breakdown
Would I Recommend It: Yes, but try Trader Joe's Apple Smoked Bacon first.
Would I Buy It Again: I already have.
Final Synopsis: A delicious bacon for frequent bacon eaters.
Trader Joe's Uncured Apple Smoked BaconPosted: January 21, 2014 Filed under: Bacon, Meat, Trader Joe's Brand | Tags: apple smoked, bacon 6 Comments
To date, the only bacon I've had from Trader Joe's has been the healthy, if middling, Turkey Bacon. In fact, so devoted have I been to the concept of being healthy while eating bacon that turkey bacon is the only bacon that I've ingested for the last two years. So biting into Trader Joe's Uncured Apple Smoked Bacon was like a spelunker emerging from cloistered subterranean depths to thrust his head into the sunlight again, like a skin diver coming up for air after a crushing 120′ dive, like Dr. Manette emerging from the Bastille to be recalled to life. It was, to be blunt, really good.
This is, quite simply put, some knock-out bacon. And it's not like I haven't had bacon before guys. I was raised on Oscar Meyer brand, I enjoy a slice or two with the occasional Denny's Grand Slam, but there was never anything really and truly memorable about the long train of sizzled bacon slices that came before. Certainly nothing to make me buy into the still white-hot bacon mania that has gripped the nation lo these past few years.
Folks, I'm telling you this bacon has turned me all around.
I'm going to start out with my one quibble, my one insignificant little quibble, then commence with the waxing rhapsodic. The bacon, as you can see above, is all layered on top of each other – not fanned out as in most bacon packages. This makes it a little more difficult to pull the bacon slices apart – especially considering how marbled with thick bands of delectable fat they are.
Manage to pull off a couple thick slices of bacon, however, and you are in for a treat. The smell, by itself, is enough to get you drunk. It's almost hard to find a bacon in this country that isn't "applewood-smoked", or "mesquite-smoked", or appended with some other marketer-inflated appellation that means, essentially, nothing at all. Believe me when I tell you that this bacon has been smoked – really and properly smoked. It smells so richly of the savory curls of smoldering wood that you will swear you're smoking it yourself as you cook it. It smells so good you'll have to fight off the urge to shove raw strips of meat into your mouth with both fists.
Once your nose has feasted to satisfaction, it's time to take a bite. Friends, every promise that the sizzle and smell of that bacon made to you the taste more than delivers on. Is it fatty? Yes, tremendously fatty – packing in 7 grams of fat per slice, but it is deliciously essential fat, fat which enriches the smoky meat with melt in your mouth, hug-your-tongue flavor. It is a lot of fat, but that, of course, is God's way of keeping us from eating bacon all the time, non-stop. If you have room in your diet for a little extra fat, this is a fantastic way to spend it.
It's all so wonderful, that it's impossible for me to fully describe to you with mere human words how much this bacon pleases me. To top it all off, this wonderful apple smoked bacon is uncured and nitrate-free. Delicious and nitrate free? What else needs be said?
The Breakdown
Would I Recommend It: Yes, please buy this bacon.
Would I Buy It Again: As frequently as my diet allows.
Final Synopsis: The tastiest, store bought bacon I have ever eaten.

What is Muevete USA™?
The National Association of Hispanic Nurses (NAHN) Muevete USA™ Project is a NAHN educational program developed to reduce childhood and adolescent obesity in selected locations throughout the United States. While Latino/Hispanic children are the focus, the program is open to all children regardless of ethnic background.
Muevete USA™ was inspired by First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move campaign.
Funded in 2011, 2012 and 2013 by generous grants from the Coca-Cola Foundation, NAHN started the project as a pilot in 2011 with five Chapters in four U.S. states. Past NAHN President Norma Martinez-Rogers, PhD, RN, FAAN was the Project Director.
The full-implementation of this projects started in 2012 and it is now in place in fifteen locations. It has also extended participation to not only children, but also their parents, custodians and relatives. NAHN's Past President Angie Millan, DNP, RN, FAAN has been the Project Director since 2012.
The project uses a Train-the-Trainer approach and features five lesson plans on the USDA My Plate,the importance of exercise, how to read food Labels, choosing healthy snack options, and the lifestyle changes needed to improve self-esteem, body-image, and empower the participants.
Why Muevete USA™?
Obesity is a nationwide epidemic, a leading and fastest-growing cause of disease and death in the USA.
Obesity may lead to metabolic syndrome, a combination of medical disorders which includes diabetes mellitus, type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, high triglyceride levels. It also causes sleep apnea, certain type of cancer, and osteoarthritis.
Excessive dietary calories, lack of physical activity, and genetic susceptibility are some factors leading to obesity. Other factors that may contribute to obesity are the body's genetic make-up, endocrine disorders, medications or psychiatric illness. As a result, it reduces life expectancy. In children, obesity results in low self-esteem and depression.
Seventy percent to 80% of children who are obese have the risk of becoming obese adults. According to the Office of Minority Health, HHS, Mexican American children were 1.6 times more likely to be overweight as Non-Hispanic White Children according to 2009 – 2010 statistics.
Obesity is completely preventable. Dietary changes (reducing consumption of foods high in fat and sugars and increasing intake of fiber-rich food) and physical exercise are the mainstays and cornerstones of treatment for obesity and maintaining a healthy weight.

Your Cheese Addiction May Not Be Bad for Your Health
Full-fat milk and products made from it, like cheese and yogurt, don't have the healthiest reputation. But researchers have found evidence that might help clear their names: according to a meta-analysis published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, eating high amounts of milk and dairy foods—even full-fat versions—appears to have a neutral effect on cardiovascular health. The analysis included data from 938,465 men and women, ages 34 to 80, from a total of 29 studies conducted in Asia, Australia, Europe, and the United States. The studies all included information about the relationship between milk and dairy food intake and the incidence of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and death due to any cause. After analyzing this data from the studies, researchers found:
This isn't the first time research has found that high-fat dairy can have a prominent place in a healthy diet. For example, previous research found that eating full-fat, rather than low-fat, dairy products could help reduce belly fat. But before you milk these findings for all they're worth, it's important to know this study was funded by several dairy associations. More unbiased research, including controlled clinical trials, will help us to fully understand dairy's relationship with cardiovascular and overall health.

With iOS being updated to full new builds less frequently than Android, the list of new features and modifications is pretty substantial and impressive !
If I was to summarise this in one line, It would be, think of part of the current iOS .. Its now better.
As well as obviously being the OS that will run on the new IPhone, due to Apples better handle on the update process, the IPad 2/3 and IPhone 3GS/4/4S and the 4th Gen IPod Touch will all benefit too.
Taking this into account first and foremost, the IPad HD/3 is getting Siri !
Siri has also had some major upgrade work, understanding more questions, giving more information and also being incorporated into some cars steering wheels within the next 12 months with Jaguars, Land Rovers, BMWs, Mercedes, Toyotas, Chryslers, Hondas, Audis and GM cars all advising this would be supported.
Facebook Integration
With Twitter already Integrated pretty well into the iOS now its time for Facebook with pretty much the same features being used. This will increase your ability to share different aspects of your phone and also introduces the ability to recommend different apps in the App Store to your friends.
The most important part of a phone you would think ! This has had an update allowing you to reject calls with set messages, as well as introducing a 'Do Not Disturb' feature basically preventing all notifications and phone calls during a set time with the ability to exclude certain people or numbers from this service also.
A lot has been said recently about the new Maps software with Google also bringing out their own equivalent new version. The new iOS Maps has integrated Sat-Nav as well as traffic information and an incredible looking fly-over map showing a lot of the big cities in stunning fashion.
Passbook is an entirely new App/Service entirely for iOS but may remind some of Google Wallet. This essentially is as the name suggests, an app that keeps all of your passes in one place e.g Plane Tickets, Gift Cards, Coupons, Cinema Tickets etc. This, like many features may be location specific originally and may only be featured by specific retailers but it looks like a step in the right direction!
I had to put in a conclusion section so you dont think im still blabbing about Passbook! The list of changes is substantial, and to cover all of these in one blog post would make some pretty lengthy reading. If your looking for any more info I'd recommend checking out the Apple link at the top of the page or http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/ios-6-everything-you-need-to-know-1083928 These are both incredible resources with a huge amount of info on the new OS.
With Android now claiming a larger proportion of the mobile market in many countries now, this update could be a major player ! Only time will tell..


text: In the late 19th century, Louis Pasteur originated the "germ theory", which, simply stated, says that the body is sterile and germs from the air cause disease. This became the medical paradigm for the Western world, which seeks to cure disease through medication. Nancy Appleton suggests that disease is generally caused not by outside microscopic invaders, but by ourselves in what we think, say, feel, do and eat. Abundant evidence suggests that germs are not the cause of many illnesses so common in North America, including allergies, arthritis, osteoporosis, and others that fall into the category of chronic and degenerative diseases. This book gives a scientific option to Louis Pasteur's germ theory, shows why some people get sick and others do not, why medicines heal some people and not others, how your body can resist infections and degenerative diseases, the true cause of disease and the true cause of healing. Food plans and ways to eat to enhance health and healing are offered. This is an excellent patient support book.

If you follow me on Twitter, you read my daily updates from New Orleans during the 5th Anniversary Observance of Hurricane Katrina. I was sent there for a week on assignment for the newspaper I am honored to be a Staff Writer for, The Final Call.
Interestingly, the September 13, 2005 edition of The Final Call marked my first ever cover story. I was a newbie to journalism (still is) and all of a sudden I found myself in the middle of the world's largest catastrophe at that time. So much happened. I really should write a book about that entire experience like my friend and fellow journalist Jordan Flaherty did in his epic release "Floodlines: Community and Resistance from Katrina to the Jena Six". We met one another during mobilization for the Jena Six. His book is excellent and I am mentioned in it as well.
Since 2005 I have been staying consistent on this Katrina news beat in the Gulf Coast and this year has been no different. Who would have thought that I would sneak inside Houston's Astrodome to get interviews with Katrina survivors for that cover story? I never thought I would but the pain of our people was my driving force to get the story however I could.
Five years later the struggle is not over. You can read one of my reports from being on the grounds in New Orleans this past week by clicking http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/frontpageFeaturedArticle/article_7238.shtml
Below are some photos from my recent trip to New Orleans that I posted on my Flickr page. Also listen below to the interview I did on Baltimore's Final Call Radio Broadcast on WEAA 89.9FM on August 29, 2010.
Don't Let The Katrina Fatigue Settle in.....

At first glance, they look like books. At a second glance, more like homemade versions of book covers. In fact, they are shields — albeit made out of cardboard and painted. But they do have handles on the back of them. These book shields, as they're known, were created for Wednesday's May Day events at Cooper Union, where students and activists plan to hold classes and a march to promote increased access to higher education. Conor Tomás Reed, an organizer of the book-shield project and a student at the CUNY Graduate Center, told me that while book shields represent a symbolic merger of art and politics — "We're showing that our ideas and politics protect us" — they also offer very real protection during any possible clashes with the police.

Undoing a Spell (Without Magic)
As someone who uses The Times's stylebook frequently enough to have installed it in the upper-right-hand search window in Firefox — it's my second search-engine option, after Google — I've been interested in the ways that words are continually evolving at The Times. A couple of days ago, editors at the paper updated the stylebook's guidelines on the use of "illegal immigrant"; a little more than a week before that, Margaret Sullivan, The Times's public editor, argued that more attention should be paid to the way the paper uses the terms "torture" and "targeted killings."
Another term (albeit less loaded) that generates some debate is "Voodoo," … Continue reading at nytimes.com

End of the Adventure for an Enigmatic Heiress
This New York Times Magazine cover story from 1989 marked what the author, David Margolick, now calls the "last hurrah" of Barbara Piasecka Johnson, a Polish-born immigrant who married into the Johnson & Johnson fortune. Margolick, a former New York Times reporter, wrote about Johnson's attempt to "become a heroine" in her native country by donating as much as $100 million to rescue the Lenin Shipyard in Gdansk, an effort coordinated by the labor activist Lech Walesa. After what Margolick calls her "marvelous P.R. stunt" failed, and sometime after his article was published, he told me, Johnson "fell off the face of the earth." She died on Monday.
Here's how Margolick described Johnson in his article: … Continue reading at nytimes.com
Parking Spot Causes Fight (No Drivers Are Involved)
Kate Blumm moved to Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in June 2011, seven weeks before her daughter, Zelda, was born. After "falling in love with the merchant community," Ms. Blumm, and her husband, Michael De Zayas, opened a cafe last March on Franklin Avenue called Little Zelda.
The couple began to notice that bicycle parking seemed to be scarce in an area where bike traffic seemed to be on the rise.
So they did what a handful of other small-business owners in New York had started to do: ask the city to install a bike corral, a new style of rack that accommodates multiple bicycles and is installed in the street, taking the place of a parked car. … Continue reading at nytimes.com

I wrote this after following a series of tweets between Dean Obeidallah and the Co-Founder of Ex-Muslims of North America Sarah Haider, where the below tweets came from. I had my own conversation with someone about the topic, which caused me to research inbreeding in the Muslim world.
Notice the trap Obeidallah is lumbering mindlessly towards. If I had of compared the mind of God and the prophet Muhammad to the mentally ill; I dare say, I might find myself in a wee-bit-o-trouble. Of course, Obeidallah won't willingly fall into this trap, but alas the trapping pit is not nearly as thinly veiled to him, as his attempt at apologetics is to me. Obeidallah claims that he just "can't trust people who at one time advocated woman have no rights, and gays and apostates should be killed", and said of Maajid Nawaz, "once an Islamist always an Islamist", because in his unapologetic view, "Islamism is a mental disorder", an "incurable" one. The trap should be, becoming clearer now, albeit too late for Obeidallah to prevent his fall. Although it would be comical–which is apparently his forte–to see the attempt.
Obeidallah suggests we shouldn't trust former Islamists–who according to him, are mentally ill–because of their grotesque beliefs about homosexuality and apostasy. Well, it's not difficult to find Hadith or Quranic verses advocating these ideas. One hadith narrated by Abdullah ibn Abbas, Muhammad's cousin and early quranic scholar wrote, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If you find anyone doing as Lot's people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done." So what were Lot's people doing? "do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you?…for ye practice your lusts on men in preference to women, ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds…and we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see, what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!" verses 7:80-84. Also on apostasy, a hadith from one of the three most trusted sources in Sunni Islam: "Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him." Need I continue with Muhammad's record on women's rights? Thus, it appears that these grotesque beliefs come from God, and were believed and promoted by Muhammad. Therefore, in Obeidallah's view, Muhammad must be mentally ill and irredeemable. After all Muhammad is said to have received the revelation from the angel Gabriel, over some twenty-three years. Talk about schizophrenia!
Also notice, because the ideas Obeidallah finds so disgusting are available in the quran and hadiths; claiming one is mentally ill for taking them seriously, does not at all exonerate Islamic scripture. Rather it suggests, that access to the texts, is akin to leaving a pair of sharp scissors on a table in a mental health ward, someone's bound to get hurt! Besides, it seems to me, if Islamists do indeed suffer from mental illness, they're worthy of more of our compassion, not less. Mental illness reduces culpability for ones actions. Is a paranoid schizophrenic, who killed his wife because voices in his head told him she had been taken over by demonic forces, as culpable as a man who murdered his wife to collect the life insurance policy? Of course not. Moreover, we know that Islamism is "curable", due to the people who have renounced the Islamist ideology (despite Obeidallah's idiotic skepticism of Maajid Nawaz). The fact is, Islamism, or any ideology that promotes barbaric ideas, and the horrific acts that follow–however unconscionable–need not, have anything to do with mental illness, even when grounded in superstitious beliefs. Humans evolved a propensity for violence and a credulous mind, which lends itself to believing all kinds of nonsense, making normal people capable of all kinds of evil deeds.
If Obeidallah would like to play his faith card by claiming that Muhammad did in fact get the revelation, and therefore wasn't hearing voices–a claim for which he has no evidence–then I would evoke the philosopher David Hume, and ask him, what is more likely, that Muhammad was a charismatic schizophrenic or liar, or that he really did receive the final revelation from a perfect deity, who didn't get it right on the preceding two occasions, with the Jews and Christians? I would also point out what a cheap move invoking faith would be for a man in his position; and that it doesn't explain the quran and hadiths promotion of the very ideas he finds so abhorrent; and he should be quiet, and it rubs the lotion on its skin!
Inbreeding insufficient to explain Islamism
It was suggested to me that mental illness could indeed, explain Islamism, due to the prevalence of consanguineous relationships in the Muslim world, going back to the time of Muhammad. In other words, the adverse effects on the offspring of blood relatives–first cousins being the usual focus. I don't know if Obeidallah subscribes to this view, so I'll leave him to wallow in his trap. But if he thinks he's using consanguinity as a rope to climb out, he's mistaken. Muhammad married his first cousin and the quran lists relatives one cannot marry, but luckily for Muhammad, no such prohibition on cousin fuckin' exists; given there seems to be a few issues with the offspring of consanguineous relations, you'd think the creator of the universe might have prohibited it, another opportunity lost, it appears. Most experts in this area don't call for a ban on the practice either. Instead, they call for education about the risks, and advocate genetic screening for consanguineous couples. It's true that the potential health risks are double that of the general population, but the overall risk remains small. In a nutshell, relatives have more genes in common than people that are unrelated. If both parents carry the same recessive gene, then their offspring have a higher risk of getting the genetic disorder associated with that gene. The overall risk for non-consanguineous couples is around 2.5% compared to approximately 5% among consanguineous couples (first cousins). However, if there is consanguinity going back generations–which will be the case for many Muslims–the risk can be higher, how much higher is unclear.
In 2011, a veritable who's who of geneticists and researches working in this area met in Geneva, Switzerland, to discuss "Consanguineous marriages, pearls and perils" and went on to produce the "Geneva International Consanguinity Workshop Report." They concluded that the adverse effects of consanguinity on offspring, predominately relates to autosomal recessive genetic disorders. The authors suggest that although there is some evidence of the effects of consanguinity on IQ–possibly a result of most consanguineous couples coming from rural, poor, uneducated areas–Down Syndrome, Schizophrenia, Bi-Polar Disorder, Autism and Alzheimer's, the evidence is often "vague and inconsistent". Moreover, the authors' of the report suggest–in relation to autosomal recessive genetic disorders–approximately "92% of first cousin couples will not be at increased risk of the birth of an affected child". Of course, we would have to increase the percentage of risk among Muslims due to the history of consanguinity. Regardless, if evidence for mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bi-polar or low IQ are better controlled for, and their results are more consistent, I have no reason to suspect that similar approximations like the above, wouldn't be true in that case, namely the majority of offspring being born without problems.
Some believe we just have to look at the Muslim world and conclude Islamists are mentally ill, or suffer from poor education or low IQ, "just look at the case of Farkhunda, tell me that's not insane". According to this article, one of her most "fervent" attackers, a young man named Mohammad Yaqoub heard people shouting "if someone doesn't hit her, he is an infidel.' That was when I got emotional and hit her twice…my third punch hit the road, and my hand got injured." Maybe the dim-witted boy felt intimidated and feared the mob might turn on him, if he didn't participate. Except, when he went back to his shop and wrapped up his injured hand, he could still hear the commotion outside, and decided to go back for more. When he returned, he picked up a stone to pulverize Farkhunda's lifeless body, it was so large, "he could barely lift it." Without knowing if Mohammed Yaqoub is schizophrenic–the voices he heard that day were certainly real, including the screams of his victim–whatever affliction he may suffer, as the article puts it "Mr. Yaqoub was hardly an illiterate day laborer. He had completed 11th grade and, when interviewed in prison, said he was 18. He explained his fury by saying, "The Quran is like our honor: It is our personal honor and the honor of the prophet."
Ghazi O. Tadmouri et al. interestingly point out that consanguinity is also practiced among Lebanese, Jordanian, and Palestinian Christians, albeit to a lesser degree than their Muslim neighbors. However, they do often suffer the same injustices as their neighbors, and one wonders if they're driven to a Christian form of Islamism that causes them to fight the West by turning to the Old Testament (or even the New Testament) to express their mental corruption. Such Christians appear rare, which again suggests that it's not the illness that's the problem, it's the texts, but I digress. Tadmouri et al. point out other limitations; most researchers break their studies into two groups: consanguineous verses non-consanguineous, even when the type of consanguinity is unknown or undisclosed. For example, stating that 30.3% to 39.8% of Syrians are in a consanguineous relationship doesn't indicate whether they're all first, second or third cousins, which is important, as the less gene's in common the lower the risk. However, they do concede that "the risk of birth defects in first-cousin marriages may be estimated to be 2-2.5 times the general population rate, mainly due to the expression of autosomal recessive disorders". But again they conclude; "studies on the association of consanguinity with chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome and association with non-communicable disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, and psychiatric disorders [Italics mine] among Arabs are presently non conclusive…likewise, studies on the association of consanguinity with traits such as intelligence quotient and stature are scanty among Arabs and results of studies performed in Western countries cannot be applied directly to societies with high consanguinity rates such as the Arab society."
Therefore, it seems to me that mental illness, whether caused by consanguineous relationships or otherwise, is insufficient to explain Islamism.

Did you know that April 12 is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day!?
Grilled cheese has always been one of my favorite comfort foods — and I know I'm not alone: People have been loving its ease and possibilities for nearly 100 years. "The United States modern version of the grilled cheese sandwich originated in the 1920's when inexpensive sliced bread and American cheese became easily available. Originally it was made as an open-faced sandwich," says the National Day Calendar.
Grilled cheese now is even better with experimentation, adding pesto and tomatoes, using sour dough and apple jelly, or adding chutney and brie. I used to love trying out the sale cheeses at QFC to see which ones made the best sandwich (Port Salut is my favorite). Then of course all the wonderful things you can dip it in…
Here are a few books in the library to get your grilled cheese experiment on:
Grilled Cheese Kitchen: Bread + Cheese + Everything in Between by Heidi Gibson
Melted cheese between slices of toasted bread — the ultimate in comfort food. This mouthwatering cookbook features 39 grilled cheese recipes created by Heidi Gibson, winner of seven grilled cheese championships and the co-owner (with husband Nate) of the American Grilled Cheese Kitchen in San Francisco.

He's quite the interesting little fellow. Your card for him looks really great. Nicely done background and details. Fabulous how your heart on the back refers to their lifelong mating partnerships.VastaaPoista
Nice card! Love the background and texture. Never heard of this animal before so its nice to learn about it.VastaaPoista
He is an interesting little chap and looks very similar to what we call a Ferret:) Love the background.VastaaPoista
What a cute card! The background is interesting and the embossing adds texture. The animal is cute, we don't have them in England. It looks similar to a ferret but they eat rabbits or a weasel without the nose! Thanks for joining my challenge at Our Creative Corner, Jan xVastaaPoista
I'm learning lots of new words! And that is an animal I've never come across! Great background too!VastaaPoista
I love your card, the background is fabulous and I love the little creature.
xxx Hazel.
I'm REALLY late and know it, but I simply had to visit, even though the next CB challenge has already been posted. I'm learning words I've never heard before, and really enjoying it. This is a real beauty, and I love how you created the background. A great technique and loved that you shared it with us.VastaaPoista
A cute little card. Thanks for the little tutorial on the chunky embossing, the result looks really good.VastaaPoista
What a cutie! Your backgrounds are really great and the canvas adds great texture xVastaaPoista
lovely, why heat embossing from underneath? Love the effect it gives, looks really like dirt, ground.VastaaPoista
Heat embossing from underneath, because the EP is not attatched to anything and will blow away. I have tried :)VastaaPoista
What an amazing background! A lovely card, perfect for The Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge, thank you for joining in!

What an adorable card and creature! Love the background you made with my leaf stamps - thank you! ♥
I have never tried to add EP like you did here, but it looks like a cool tecknique. Thanks for sharing that.
gorgeous make - you rocked that background! Thanks for joining us at Countryview challenges this month and good luck. Hugs rachel xVastaaPoista
Love the background and the EP texture.VastaaPoista

It's May Day and Quakie has finally hatched her brood (well, not quite…) after sitting 35 days on her eggs. In ideal conditions, Mallard eggs hatch in 28 days. Temperature fluctuations can cause a slightly early or late hatch but 35 days is crazy!
Quakie leaves the nest, and calls and calls her babies but they are unwilling to leave the warmth of the nest and their nest mates. There are many unhatched eggs still in the nest, which could account for the confusion of the little ones. Finally two brave ones jump from their high nest and follow their mama, who is not visible in the video – she is on the other side of the fence in the neighbour's yard. The remaining ducklings huddle together inside the nest.
Note: I brought the remaining 4 ducklings and eggs indoors to keep them warm, but after a few minutes, Quakie with 2 ducklings (and Frankie III standing by) reappear in the garden. I take the three most energetic ducklings back to their mama and the duck family leaves immediately for the creek. Meanwhile, one of the abandoned eggs hatches indoors. It is about 8.30pm in the evening.
Quakie marches her ducklings through a neighbour's garden. They cross a small lane and walk through the grass in the large cow field, and within a few minutes they are safely at the creek. Quakie makes soft whistling noises all the way so her young ones can more easily follow her. At this stage they are too young to recognise objects around them and will simply follow any large object near them that is moving.
In the hours following Quakie's departure with her first 5 ducklings, and in the small hours of the morning, several more ducklings hatch in the makeshift brooder and keep warm, thanks to the heating plate for chicks (www.comfortchicks.com) – the same one we used for Quakie and siblings when they were hatched in Spring 2015. Indoor temperatures (20 deg C)are still way too cold for newly hatched ducklings. They will die of exposure unless they have a heat source of at least 30 deg C or most preferably their own mother duck!

What is a Pesticide?
A pesticide is a chemical preparation for destroying plant, fungal, or animal pests. Pesticides can be divided into three categories: Herbicides, Insecticides, and Fungicides (HIF).
- Herbicides are also commonly known as weed killers. They are chemical substances used to control unwanted plants.
- Insecticides are substances used to kill insects and their eggs or larvae.
- Fungicides are used to kill fungi or fungal spores.
Purpose of Pesticides in Agriculture
The three main purposes for pesticides in agriculture are:
- Improved yield due to less dockage from pest contamination
- Reduce or eliminate unwanted plants, insects, or disease
- Reduce competition for nutrients, moisture, and space
Common Products Used in Pesticides Market
The following products are commonly used in the pesticides market:
|Aromatics 100, 150, 200
|Propylene & Ethylene Glycol
|De-Aromatized Fluids
|Low Toxicity, Low Volatility Insecticide & Herbicide
|Nonylphenol Ethoxylate (NPE)
|Various Amine Ethoxylate & Alcohol Ethoxylate
|White Mineral Oil & Methyl Ester Oil
|Glycol ether
|Polyethylene Glycol

A 16-year-old has been arrested in Brooklyn for making over 400 false 911 calls since last May. A police source who spoke to the New York Post said that Dean Whylie frequently reported "police officers needing assistance, shots fired, motor vehicle accidents and disputes."
Whylie reportedly pretended to be a woman when making the calls, and the bulk of his 404 phone calls were traced back to his home in Flatbush. He allegedly used two phones that were only set up for emergency use. One phone, which was used to make 186 calls, was found.
Less than a month ago, a man was arrested for making hundreds of bogus 911 calls complaining about hipsters in his Williamsburg neighborhood.

Welcome Guest
On rainy days like today, I often want some comfort food - something to warm my belly and my soul! Well, this morning I woke up and ran out to get the simple ingredients for this very easy cabbage soup recipe my mother would make for me on days just like this! (Her version has a ham hock, but you can also use kielbasa, or go "no-meat" the way I did).
1 large onion
1 head of celery
2 cloves of garlic
A handful of fresh tomatoes
1 medium sized head of cabbage
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 can of diced tomatoes
64 oz vegetable stock
Salt, pepper, crushed red pepper
In a large stock pot, combine chopped onion, celery, minced garlic and sauté with 2 tbsp of olive oil over a medium heat. Stir and sauté until translucent (not browned). Add salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to your desired preference. Then stir in the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, and vegetable stock; bringing the entire mixture to a boil. Once boiling, stir in the chopped cabbage and keep it simmering for 35-40 minutes.
I love to serve this soup with either garlic bread or crustini, but either way, it makes for a hearty and healthy meal! Enjoy!
You are a lifesaver, Alberti!
Went to grocery store yesterday and needed a cabbage. Had to pick up a four-pounder: the smaller ones I was told were the first to go! Have no idea what to do with 4lbs of cabbage - this will greatly help! (It's only me and my dog - fortunately he loves cabbage, sans the onions!)
A;berti. I made your soup.....Absolutely delicious!!!!! In place of onion, added kielbasa. My boy, Eddy LOVED it too! Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!
