Went to Missoula Montana in September and really enjoyed the Big Sky Brewing's "Moose Drool" and "Trout Slayer". Luckily, I was able to find the Moose Drool here in Santa Barbara at Whole Foods!

Well, my original comment was referring to how one can raise an animal, pet them, get to know them, then kill them.... It is something that perplexes me... Past the Chicken Coop: Behind the Scenes of a Backyard Pig Farm Flag this comment	7/27/12 5:04 PM

Yep! Once I realized how poorly animals are raised (and how unhealthy it is to consume them) in my early twenties, it was hard to put the blinders on and continue eating them... Past the Chicken Coop: Behind the Scenes of a Backyard Pig Farm Flag this comment	7/27/12 11:35 AM
Awe, sweet little piglets! Pet them as you think of slaughtering them so you can have some salty fat on your tongue.... How can you do that? I am sorry if this seems rude, I just don't get it.... Past the Chicken Coop: Behind the Scenes of a Backyard Pig Farm Flag this comment	7/26/12 12:07 PM
Since people are asking about granola... Here is my recipe which I and everyone seems to love! This makes a lot so cut the recipe in half if you like... 10 cups whole oats 1 cup raw almonds 1 cup raw pecans 1 cup coconut flakes (unsweetened) 1/3 cup cinnamon (maybe some nutmeg too..) 1 cup raw pepitas 1 cup raw sunflower seeds 1 cup honey 1 cup light in flavor olive oil or coconut oil 1-2 cups dried fruit such as apricots (diced), cherries, cranberries etc... Mix together the oats, almonds, pecans, coconut, cinnamon, pepitas, sunflower seeds. Heat the honey and oil on the stove so that they mix well. Pour over the oat mixture and mix. Put in a 350 degree oven for 20 min., stir and then another 30 min. Take out and add the dried fruit. Turn off the oven and put the whole thing back in the oven for several hours (or overnight) to dry out and get crunchy.

Hmmmm... never had a problem with raw onions on salads... Onions in Salads: Soak Them in Water First Flag this comment	6/24/12 7:26 PM
I went a little overboard at farmers market last week and bout 2 pounds of cherries and about a dozen apricots. I realized I was not going to eat them all so made a simple crumble with oats and brown sugar. It was excellent! By the way, I did not have a cherry pitter so I picked up an OXO Good Grips one and it worked very well! For Pies, Salads & Snacks: Sweet CherriesIngredient Spotlight Flag this comment	5/23/12 8:33 AM
