Yes, this food recall is a gigantic mess and quite fearful. Posts about home cooking & raw hit home for me as I've used canned chicken broth and/or the stock from cooking for years to entice any picky eater - especially the boarders and they seemed to know Grandma would be giving them a bunch of better stuff than their owners, it was interesting. Also, I'd mix the food with biscuits or such into what seemed to be like a salad or stew - and leave the goodie in the bowl for each. VINEGAR -- there's a whole listing of all the good this will do for everyone. Most interesting to me was a use many years ago - put a little in the dog's water - keeps flies, fleas & other nasty bugs away from the dogs. It really works and with the bug season coming around -- yeah Buddy I can get carried away with "words" and loved to be at the tables selling catalogs etc. or any booth or what ever and as I think I've mentioned my daily GOAL - "To put a smile on at least ONE person's face" - silly old (fa**) that I am I always succeed. Sooo Listers, have a good one and know that laughter truly IS the best medicine. Norma no L ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
