Nomad good thoughts and prayers being sent your way, as well as to all others who need them.
Warm thoughts being sent to all freezing foodies.
Cyn, big congrats to you on the no-smoking. 29 days is absolutely wonderful!
Came home this morning to my slow cooker full of fragrant, flavorful pinto beans (with some bacon, onion, and green chilis added). Now to finish up a couple of chores, mix up some jalapeno corn bread, and my "dinner" will be good to go. Then after the dishes are washed up, the two fur-babies fed, it will be time to go to bed and hope I don't get called in early again.
Peanut butter is being recalled but I can't get the FDA link to open so I am trying another site. This was posted this morning on another foodie list I am on will get back to ya all when I get the site. Right now I can tell you that all the cheese crackers with peanut butter are being recalled by a few companies and Keebler soft chew PB cookies.
So far I havent heard of any of the retail PB companies that sell to households...like peter pan, jiff, Skippy etc....being involved...it is companies that sell in bulk to food service places (nursing homes etc) and apparently to large companies like Keebler...I wonder about Reeses Peanut Butter cups and Butterfinger candy bars?????? I think I would avoid eating those....I have a large jar of PB in the house from when my granddaughter visited.....it should carry me forward quite a long time, without needing to buy any more.
It occurs to me that this type of incident.....shows what a collosal failure the laissez faire attitude about regulation has been.....over the past 8 years we have yielded to lobbiests pressure and let the food industry pretty much self regulate....who would have thought that would mean contaminated meat, toxic lettuce and peanut butter and the deaths of American consumers.

Beware of buying PB items from 2nd hand stores that might buy from warehouses that ignore the recall. Like dented can stores, Big Lots etc. they are saying this is going to last a year.

Any food product that has PB in like those cheese crackers, stuffed pretzels and even PB cookies already made I will avoid. You are correct about bulk foods elston.
When I was young my grandpa use to say America will be taken over one day without a shot fired. This has always stuck with me and I think our food chain could be the place to do it. I am very careful about not buying foods, toiletries outside the USA.

Thank you YLisa for your link as well! I am on slow dial up so it takes my computer a lot of time to search for things. We can never have too much info when it comes to our food chain I feel. I have the FDA site and the National Center for home preserving National Center for Home Food Preservation bookmarked so I can check regularly.
With any and all food recalls it just reassures me of my garden growing and home canning even more. Yes after all the remarks of "that is so old fashion" I still like knowing what is in the foods my family eats.
I think I'm going to make some "Stuff from the Pantry Stew". I have some elbow macaroni, kidney beans, can of chili's and tomatoes. I'll throw in some sliced pork and some spices. I might even throw in a couple of red potatoes.
Today I am going to make two items that we will eat this weekend and will also go great in my lunch pail next week: pinto beans with bacon and chicken tortilla soup.
I make my tortilla soup with a whole chicken breast, zucchinni, onion, a little tomato, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and whatever else in the fridge looks right.
At home will serve over avocado slices with some cheese melting in.
At work will be part of my healthy lunch "program" and have no avocado, no cheese, and no tortillas strips either! Still good though.
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

Tonight, Chef Hubster is making pork chops and twice baked potatoes (from Omaha Steak - mom sent us one of their packages). Probably some veggies, too.
