Where Is My Milk From?

Here's an interesting website to try: Where Is My Milk From?

Just enter the numerical code from the carton of milk in your fridge, and this site will identify the dairy and location where it was produced. See the "18-1000" part? That is the code. 18 designates the state, 1000 designates the dairy.

For a lark, I entered the 2 containers in my fridge - 1 organic, 1 not.

Not Organic: locally produced about 40 miles from me.

Organic: Littleton, CO.

Seriously? My organic milk traveled several thousand miles to get to me? I find that hard to believe - but the code on the carton was very clear - Colorado. Not exactly "eating green" IMO.

I've identified the code for my state, and I think I'll be looking for that from now on...

Interesting site.

What is Pterygium and Pinguecula ?

[Extracted from the webpage of www.healthscout.com] A pterygium is a fleshy growth that invades the cornea (the clear front window of the eye). It is an abnormal process in which the conjunctiva (a membrane that covers the white of the eye) grows into the cornea. A pinguecula is a yellowish patch or bump on the white of the eye, most often on the side closest to the nose. It is not a tumor but an alteration of normal tissue resulting in a deposit of protein and fat. Unlike a pterygium, a pinguecula does not actually grow onto the cornea. A pinguecula may also be a response to chronic eye irritation or sunlight. Although pterygium and pinguecula sound like mysterious, arcane diseases, they are actually quite common, usually benign eye conditions. These lesions appear as a whitish-yellowish bump or fleshy "growth" on the exposed conjunctiva. If the bump appears only on the white part of the eye, it is called a pinguecula. If it appears to "grow" onto t...

Meatloaf on My Mind...

Lately, I've been thinking about meatloaf. Warm, comforting...home. Good meatloaf is one of those dishes that brings back fond memories, and bad meatloaf is shudder-worthy at best.When made with care, meatloaf is a clean, wholesome food. A host of "traditional" meatloaf recipes use things like barbeque sauce or A1 for flavor - very low on the Clean spectrum of things. When I saw these three ( essentially ) clean meatloaves in this month's issue of Women's Day Magazine, I knew I'd be posting them. I can't wait to try them. If you do, please post and let me know how you liked it! Lamb, Balsamic & Sundried Tomato Meat Loaf Whether you use lamb or substitute it with beef, this recipe is a refreshing take on the usual, with sweet sundried tomatoes balanced out by heady rosemary. Serve it with couscous for a real Mediterranean feast. Active Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes Recipe Ingredients 1 lemon 2 large eggs 2 T bsp balsamic vinegar K...
