I have a funny sea salt recipe about Teddy. He has never in his life sprinkled his own salt on his food. I got him some fries tonight from the restaurant on the ranch next door. They don't use canola. I brought them home and sprinkled some sea salt on them. Ted began to eat and then left to go into the other room. He got the salt shaker regular salt) from the kitchen and brought it in and gave it a single sprinkle and went to put the shaker back. He came back and began picking through the fries again. I was shocked that he could tell the difference!
But he wandered off without eating any fries. I taste tested them and realized they were too tough for him. It wasn't the salt at all. He is very picky about his fries, size, shape and tenderness, color. Each fry is examined and either accepted or rejected based on those factors. None of these made his standards. It wasn't the salt at all it was the cooking. Very funny.

localharvest.org has a "find" thingy and I just put in my zip code, Sheri. The finder thing for farms or CSA (depending on your tab) is on the right hand side, right under the map. It popped up all the folks in my state. I even found some CSA folks. One wants $500+ bucks for a year and the other has year-round stuff and sells the shares for $20-250...

that is funny tina. and fun that he thought enough to try the salt to see if that was the problem. i'm sorry he didn't get to enjoy his fries though.

Sarah, that's great!

Tina...wow.

I'm sorry they didn't meet his standards. And I'm glad it wasn't the salt's fault.

Awww, thats so cute Tina.......glad though it wasnt the salt too, just the fries.

Ted is a man who knows what he likes. Gotta love him for that.

Darbi practically lives on fries. She doesn't eat any meat and green beans that I cook is the only vegetable she'll touch so wherever we go she orders fries. But she's like Ted. The fries have to be the right size and texture or she won't eat them. She'll eat fries at Arby's and McDonalds and that's about it so far. So mostly when she's with me we go to Arby's. Sometimes and I don't know what makes it happen she'll eat a thin crust cheese pizza from Pizza Hut.

I emailed a NC person listed on one of the links and got an email giving me the name of a man in Pelzer,SC, which is about 2 hours away, of a man who sells pasteurized but non homogenized milk. That's a little far to drive for milk.

Have you checked in your stores for that? The friend I was shopping with yesterday bought some...

bestofour · « **Reply #82 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 08:41:09 AM »

I haven't. I'm going to Earth Fare today though.

Really? That's Harris Teeter is where I shop ALL the time. Is that milk what I want? I always buy Land O Lakes real butter. Should I change to that brand? And I buy Eggland eggs. Should I change?

barleychown · « **Reply #85 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 08:50:44 AM »

I like that company because of what they stand for, and for the fact that its a bunch of small farmers banded together.

That site also has coupons you can print out.

bestofour · « **Reply #86 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 09:05:00 AM »

I just went to the Organic Valley web site and got coupons for $2.00 off a gallon of milk, $2.00 off a dozen eggs, $2.00 off 8 or 16 oz of butter. Cool.

I read the story about the NC farmers cows dying because of a pesticide. Scary. Thanks!!!

barleychown · « **Reply #88 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 09:07:25 AM »

You are welcome. I hope you enjoy the milk.

I searched for where I could buy that milk. They sell it at the food co-op I shop at. I will have to get some. I looked at their milk when I was there the other day but wasn't sure what to get.

Jessica · « **Reply #91 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 09:31:32 AM »

Interesting article. Never thought about the acid in coffee. I will have to start looking closer at what I am buying.

barleychown · « **Reply #92 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 09:40:28 AM »

I've been drinking Sumatra for a while now, and I can attest to the lower acid. Regular coffee just about kills me.

sarah, do you know what ic is? interstertial bladder disease? it is one of the autoimmune disorders that is related to all the others, like lupus and RA. people who have ic have to have a special low acid diet. i'm wondering if that coffee would be good for my daughter who has ic. will you send me an email with the link, the info and the name of the coffee (and where to by it) for her?

barleychown · « **Reply #94 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 11:59:38 AM »

You bet!

bayou girl · « **Reply #95 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 12:33:46 PM »

got it! thank you

barleychown · « **Reply #96 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 12:39:12 PM »

No problem at all. My stomach is rather sensitive to acid, though I choose to ignore it sometimes.

Tina · « **Reply #97 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 12:55:29 PM »

Sarah, Do we have any info on sugar and better alternative sweeteners? What to bake with, what to sweeten our tea with. Raw sugar, raw honey, turbinado, agave?
I was checking the links and found very little. I may have missed something though.

barleychown · « **Reply #98 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 01:08:51 PM »

I haven't posted any yet, but have read lots for myself. Let me poke around...

barleychown · « **Reply #99 on:** Mar 13, 2010, 01:13:33 PM »

Here's on that talks about the good ones, but not why the "bad" are bad...
